Santa Cruz
Last weekend Mahi & I decided to drive down to Santa Cruz, about 50 miles away from our place. It’s a good 1 hour drive. Probably the most famous landmark in Santa Cruz is the
Boardwalk. Right next to the Bay, it’s over a 100 years old, and has a lot of fun activities. The world famous Giant Dipper roller coaster (a completely wooden roller coaster), the Looff Carousel built in 1911 and the 125 feet double shot are but a few of the major attractions here. Incidentally, the Giant Dipper roller coaster has been in operation since 1924, and over 50 millions riders have experienced it! They
also have rides based on the forces of nature such as the Typhoon, Cyclone, Hurricane, Tsunami. On the scarier side they have the haunted castle, and a ghost hunting ride too. One of the rides that I personally liked was the cave train ride. This took us through an underground cave subsystem, which had all characters from the dinosaur era a.k.a Flintstone style !! It was really hilarious, reading the captions. All in all we had a great time.

Hi Putra,
That was nice to note that you both had a great weekend. Must have freaked out, I guess. Njoi and bash on regardless.
As for beating me for the comments, our internet connection was down for two days. Hence I got beaten!!
Now with the long weekend on your hands we can hope for some more reports, I presume.
Bye.
Mom and Dad
