Yearly trip to Aqualandia

Sunday, August 21

Every summer we have to make a trip down to Aqualandia, a waterpark in Jesolo. I wish we went here more than once every summer, hopefully next year we will make more time to go multiple times. This year the waterpark added a new slide that I could not wait to try!

























We had a small group of us all go; it ended up being a nice day to be outside, perfect weather. One thing this waterpark does, that I wish the states did, is give everyone wrist bands when they come into the park that act as a tracker, whether you are purchasing food or going on the new waterslide, it tracks your info or how much money you owe. Then when you leave for the day, you give the wristband back and they let you know how much you owe for the day. This way you don't have to go hunt down your wallet if your on the other side of the park and also have the fear of losing it or it getting soaked. So smart!

After warming up on one of our favorite racing slides it was time to try the new slide!


It made us all a little nervous at first because before you can even get in line you put your infomration in a computer and attach your email with your wristband, so every time you go down the slide the videos they take are sent to your email. After that you have to fill out a waiver form saying they are not liable if anything happens to you.

Next you go in the first line to get your back brace and life-vest to wear down the slide (sounds a little daunting?!).

Once all geared up, you are now ready to walk up to the top of the slide.

I would have to say the first round I was a little nervous to go down cause I did not know what to expect. Plus, the pool of water when you come out is not very big, so if your are on the right side coming down and don't go off straight you could really hurt yourself.

This was probably one of the most fun slides I have ever been on!! We had to have gone on it like 8 or more times in a row and then even came back to it again later that day and did another 8 or so times. I will say that if this type of slide was in the states, it would not be around for long because so many people would figure out stupid ways to hurt themselves, unfortunately.

After a full day of enjoying the waterpark it was time to go home. To then enjoy a tasty sushi dinner.
