Magical Potterland And Some Rain

Our first day in Orlando was brilliant! We decided to go to the Islands of Adventure, to see the main attraction; The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We had a look around in the different small shops there which all had unique items from the Harry Potter world , ranging from wands and chocolate frogs to inflatable tongues and sneakoscopes. The main ride in the park was awesome and a very unique experience. It was well worth the 60-90 minute long wait you should expect. When we felt like we had gotten enough of the Harry Potter experience, we headed for Jurassic Park and Room Lagoon to get some food. The Burger and chips at Wimpy's, were okay, and mum swore it was better than at McDonald's in Norway. After rafting we were soaking wet, but thought we were going to spare the five dollars they wanted us to pay for the
"People Dryer". We wanted to get something to eat, but changed our minds and went for the other ride with-a-guarantee-of-getting-soaked, before heading for the dryer. This turned out to be both a good idea, and a very bad one at the same time. At the positive side, it started pouring down, there was a thunderstorm above our heads, and we stood in line for the ride. On the not-so-positive-side, we were about as far away from the exit of the park as possible, all the rides had been suspended, our bags were locked in a locker with a timer on, my luggage was lost possibly somewhere in Europe and we were stuck in a room with annoying music from a cartoon neither me nor mother had ever heard about. We had absolutely no idea what was going on, and it was thanks to a nice lady and her daughter that we got updated news on the weather outside. A couple of formal questions turned into an informal talk between us four about education, Florida and video games. Turns out, big surprise, the one girl I actually ended up talking with wanted to create video games. We ended off discussion with me giving them my mail address, and them running out into what we thought was going to be mild rain. Unnecessary to say, it was a tad bit more than mild rain. We got out after a while, but after the "mild rain", I was completely soaked, and with no clothes. Ironically, the weather completely changed, when we headed out to buy something dry clothes, and became comparable to a hot sunny summer day in Bergen. We got home with no clothes, but an ice cream and some snacks, and watched rush hour,  and fell sweep at 5 Pm.
