Tenerife Day 2 - Siam Water Park

Our second full day and everyone woke up around 8am. We had breakfast and then grabbed a taxi for 5 Euros to Sian water park which the largest on ghe island and ranked as one of the top water parks in Europe. As part of our holiday package we had unlimited access to Siam and subsequently would be spending a lot of our holiday here. Today was  a little overcast but still very warm which was perfect given we had only been here 2 days and hadn't got aclimatised yet. 

We had a great day even though we didn't cover all the slides, but having unlimited access meant we didn't have to rush around or fast pass to get on everything in one day. Upon entering the park there id a large aquatic pool which contaibs 5 entertaining seals. I was a little selfish at first and headed straight for the Tower of power first which is arguable the most famous ride there and thus the longest queues. Josh could do everything except this ride as you had to be over 1.4m. Basically the slide is a virtical drop which drops into a tube that goes through a shark tank filled with giant nurse sharks and tiger sand sharks!

Brandon was more restricted on the slides as he couldnt go on rides over 1.25m. Whilst the Tower of Power was impressive me and Josh both agreed Volcano was probably the best dlude. The Lost City was a fantastic play area for the kids and Holly enjoyed the little slides and water squirters. The lazy river was also very impressive as half wsy around you can go into a filter lane, up a conveyor and then drops you down through a shark tank, so cool.

We left the park exhausted at 5.30 and got an open top bus back to Best Tenerife hotel near our Christobal Resort. For dinner we had a nice Italian dinner and then the evening show was a very entertaining dog show with poodles that could skip, count, dance and so on. Josh and B found it hilarious. 

Final comment about this day was that the boys were completely amused by the concept of the bidet to clean their bums. They found it hilarious to turn the tap too hot and then run around screaming about having a burnt butt hole.

The picture does not do the Tower of Power justice. It was very high and towered over everything.

Look carefully and you can see the lazy river tunnel, the Tower of Power tube, oh and a BIG shark!
The lost city was a great place to take the kids to charge around having fun without the long queues.

Loads of fish as well as sharks. The boys wanted to know why the sharks were not eating the fish.
