on our own again after saying goodbye to farmor and farfar as they headed back to sweden. we got out our checklist and got things done. princess dresses and toy shopping, check. sending another parcel, check. checking train tickets, oh crap. all the trains were booked. but somehow we managed to work it out. we took a taxi to ernakulam, where we managed to get a ticket at the train station for tomorrow afternoon, and finally found a hotel room, where we dropped off our bags before we headed up to veegaland. though apparently it is now called wonder la. we had hoped to get there before the weekend crowds, but it seems like since tomorrow is holiday (they have A LOT of holidays in india), the crowds were already there. sadly the park was not as good as the one in mysore, but that might have been partly because of the crowds, and partly because about a third of the slides and rides were closed and under service. they did not allow any kind of photography in the pool area, which was good and bad. we have no pics of the girls while swimming, but then neither do hundreds of indians! thomas did manage to sneak this shot, notice that we have own section of the wave pool. as they are so fond of india, "ladies and kids" and "gents" are not to mix while swimming. which makes it difficult to swim as a family. they had put all the women and kids in one wave pool and the men in another, we tried to swim in the ladies pool but they kicked out thomas, so we went back to the men´s section where they tried to throw me out. in the end they just gave up and let us have the section that is usually for ladies and kids all to ourselves. continuously whistling at anyone who went in that section. somethings we will never understand.
but we still had plenty of fun, there was a little family pool with slides that we played in a bit. then there were quite a few rides, the girls rode the carousel,
and after a fun family afternoon they fed the cois before we hopped on a bus back to our hotel. tomorrow awaits a 15 hour train ride back to goa!
thomas and eijla watched as zoe and i rode on a high flying pirate ship. zoe and i even rode on a log ride that they did not want to let zoe on because she was 1 cm below the cutoff heighth, but we put up a good arguement and they let her on.
then we even managed to find korv med bröd for the girls, they were pretty happy, think they ate about 4 each!

Ja det är främmande för oss att inte få bada tillsammans, och vi var också med om att det var många helgdagar i Indien. Vad är det ni matar tjejer?
