Day 129 - Wed 4 Dec 2019 - Kennedy Space Center

Another full day. We board the Space Shuttle and get blasted into space. We walk on Mars, dock at the International Space Station and relive some historic launches. We also take a bus tour around the complex and see a launch pad up close and the brand new Spacex building. Another fabulous day.

Unfortunately the scheduled rocket launch did not go ahead due to high winds at high altitude. They are going to try again tomorrow.






 This is the building in which the rockets are assembled vertically.




Today: 45km - 1h30m
Total: 16,060km - 327h48m


Day 128 - Tue 3 Dec 2019 - Universal’s Island of Adventure

A fantastic day in Universal's Island of Adventure. We start off with a leisurely ride in the Hulk, and have many happy returns on Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorcycle ride and Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey. It's all done so nicely. We are very fortunate with very little wait times and even in the queues there is lots to see. Amazing.





Today: 90km - 2h20m
Total: 16,014km - 326h

Day 127 - Mon 2 Dec 2019 - Flyboarding

Martijn does his Flyboarding and has an amazing time pretending to be Ironman. He studied hard the night before so is actually able to get up pretty quick. Each foot can independently change the direction of the jet underneath it. This is how you can control your direction and rotation. The jetski operator actually controls the waterpressure and therefore how high you can go. What a blast. Then we drive back to Orlando.



Today: 384km - 7h
Total: 15,924km - 323h37m
