Florida, I don’t even know where to begin. On Sunday I came home from a week long vaication in Daytona Beach, Florida. A week of sun and summer, and of new experiences. I think it’s safe to say that New York is not like the rest of the U.S, probably not even close. I can also say that i prefer New York. Well, I went to Florida to visit my cousin and her husband, who is studying to be a pilot there. they live in these great apartment complex, with a pool and everything. I think it is safe to say that I’m not so pale now as I was before I left, though the difference is small.
Winter Haven
Florida, at least the part I saw was nice, not beautiful, but nice. Its different from New York, and from Norway. In Daytona there wasn’t a “City Center” or something like that, you had to drive to get everywhere, because everything is spread all around the area. Almost nobody walked anywhere, they drove. Even at Wallmart they had electric carts that people could drive, so they wouldn’t have to walk while shopping. In Daytona they also allow people to drive at the beach. Need I say more?
Apart from having to drive everywhere, Florida was nice. On my first day, after my plane landed in Orlando, we went to a small “town” called Winter Haven. It’s a place where rich people from New York have winter(summer) houses, so when it gets to cold in NY, they just take their private jet to Florida. This town was actually beautiful, and I found myself a hat in a store!
Sheikra, Busch Gardens
We also went to Busch Gardens in Tampa. I cannot even describe how much fun it was there. The park was so empty that we almost didn’t have to stand in line to take the roller coaster’s. The best one was called Sheikra or something, and had 90 degree drop in it. I think we took that one 6 times! combining the whole day in general I think we ended up with 15 or 16 rides on four different roller coasters, but Sheikra was definitely the best one.
On my last day, we flew over Daytona in a small plane. It was great, you could actually feel every movement of the plane! Brilliant!
