Vol 2: Epcot
Our second day in Orlando was spent at Epcot - one of the four Disney World theme parks in the area. Clark had already been to Epcot on a previous visit to the States and so he thought that would be the best park to go to. Orlando was hot! It reminded us so much of Durban with the humidity and all the greenery.
The rest of the park show-cases different countries in the world and each country has unique shows, cuisine and an atmosphere reflective of the culture of that particular country. We haven't included pictures of all the countries because some of them we only hit in the evening and the pictures don't do them justice. Here Clark is standing in Germany.
This is in Morroco outside the Marakesh Restaurant where we decided to eat some lunch.
Inside the restaurant we were treated to real Morrocan music and even a belly-dancer! Sara was excited that she could have a dish of cous-cous with vegies and chick-peas (it's always exciting when there's vegie choices on the menu!).
In the Morrocan market-place.
In the US of A!
Watching a display of old-fashioned patriotism.
These were the liberty singers who treated us to a concert - they sing really well together. The whole experience reminded Sara of one of her favourite movies - "Gone with the Wind"
Japan.
The Vikings.

We stayed at Epcot the entire day and only left after 9pm once we had seen the awesome fire-display that rounds off a fun-filled day.

Basically, Epcot is all about future technology etc. and there are some interesting rides and exhibits. We were quite impressed with ourselves because we took part in a game at the Innoventions exhibit and we won ourselves free "fast passes" which allowed us to skip to the front of the row for all the rides:) Clark LOVES winning stuff! You can see us proudly displaying our "fast passes" in the second pic above:)

Look at this handsome amigo!
China. Here we watched a marvellous street show of Chinese acrobatics - really amazing the things that the human body can do!
