After a fun few days in Disney, we went off to stay in a Universal hotel to get full use of the early entry and unlimited fast passes. But of course food comes first and we stopped at IHOP on the way over.
First stop: (after checking in to the hotel and making use of the valet parking) the wizarding world of Harry Potter!
I had dizzied myself up well and truly after both rounds of the duelling dragons rollercoaster, so time to get the Hogwarts Express to Diagon Alley to visit Gringotts. This train is seriously cool.
Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley are in separate parks so after riding the Gringotts cart we explored Universal Studios.
We even rode this huge vertical up/down rollercoaster, Wat!
Later, we went to dinner in the biggest Hard Rock Cafe in the world! This is my first burger of the trip as nowhere else does veggie burgers!! It was so good though. I love Hard Rocks, I hope to visit one in LA and San Francisco when I go. Maybe even NY! #hardrocktour
The next day we got up early and did the same thing all over again! Including the rides we missed out on the previous day.
Universal rides are much more intense than Disney rides and there are a lot that feature 3D, even on the roller coasters! It has been a fun few days with much better weather. Today was 92, that's about 33C and we did take a break from the heat by going into a restaurant to watch the Olympics and eat ~my fave~ Mac and cheese!!
Tomorrow we should be taking it easy a bit more to recover from the head-spinning rides we experienced at Universal.
I'll let you know what goes down, obvs!
Speak soon,
Em x
