I ❤️ Madame Tussauds

 Wherever I go, I always visit the Madam Tussauds Museum to see which of my favorites have been added.


My only disappointment in Orlando was that there was no Chad Boseman😑, although there was a Narvel section.

Anyway there were some nice replicas of some of the people I admire.





The Rock 😍

It's the car I love😁

They even got his eyes😊
My boy dis



Naturally the new US president was there. But I wouldn't be seen dead with him.😑

There was an aquarium next door and although it didn't have much. I learned a lot. Especially about the octopus which is so intelligent that one was even said to know how to do the rubix cube!

There was one in England too that predicted elections, but I believe it died 


Octopi like shadows, so as this trainer moves out of the light it follows!

This turtle and stingray are friends


A strange looking shark


As Ripley's Believe it or not was nearby at Icon Park, we took it in too.

Always strange things to take in there too.












Icon park and it's surroundings in Orlando is really a great place to hang out.



Brightline train

 As we love trains, when Brightline was launched and advertised that it was going to Orlando, we had to check it out.

But Florida is not the rest of the world. So while traveling on trains normally exposes you to fabulous scenery, Florida is blah .


Luckily they have some nice waterways to break the monotony!

The Brightline ride was flawless and if you want to work on your computer on the trip, it's quiet and clean.

But for sightseeing, nah

Brightline is in a nice terminal at Orlando airport 

On this trip. I discovered how easy and cheap it is get around Orlando on public transport.

I Ride trolley 

First, there is the I ride trolley, their version of hop on hop off. And seniors pay only a quarter per ride. Of course you get value for money, so don't expect any information, not even what the upcoming stop is!😁.

Then the Lynx bus links up with it everywhere.

So we got around easily and cheaply.

Whenever I go to Orlando, Epcot Center is my first pick and it didn't disappoint.

Replica of Key West at Epcot 






A great demonstration in hydroponics 

Morocco, in the places of the world section

My favorite shuttle around Epcot


Disney Springs at nightfall 








Epcot is an scenic, educational and attractive adult playground. The only Disney attraction worth visiting when my granddaughter is not around!☺

Museum of Illusions

 This is one cool place.

Omg. My head on a platter?😭

When you come to Orlando you automatically think of Disney, but Icon Park is a wonderful place to relax and take the kids, as it has a lot of really great stuff.





They even have early Christmas.


And looks what's beside it!

That is where Madame Tussauds is too and there are lots of food and souvenir places. But my favorite place is the Museum of Illusions.

We sure had fun there.





At some angles you see a face




Yup. Enjoying my  second childhood.😁
