Busch Gardens 2009

Busch Gardens is about an hour's drive away from Orlando and all the other major parks.  It is located in Tampa. It was nice to drive there and see more of Florida out of all the limelight from the parks. It was a scorcher of a day when we went.  When we got there we hoped on the tram  in the car park which took us into the park.  There were so many animals to see, I think we missed some of them.  We saw a show, which was typically American and a little over the top, but was quite good. The close up expriences with the animals were fantastic.  We went up a ladder and put our heads into a glass  360 degree window into the tiger enclosure.  The tiger was right next to the glass.  Amazing!
