Lost Paradise

We had heard about the awesome water park in Bahrain called "Lost Paradise" and decided to go with several families from our compound.  We didn't have very high expectations because water and swimming activities don't seem to be a popular thing here.  We left around 8:30 in the morning thinking we wouldn't stay long but changed our minds very quickly.  This water park was more like a resort.  It was awesome.  We ended up staying the entire day.

Gavin and Shane kicking it in the lazy river.  For the first few hours we were the only ones there.  It was like having a private party.

They had a show with these African Acrobats.  Again I wasn't expecting much but it was very cool.  I don't see how they did half the stuff they did.

I'm surprised they didn't burn themselves on the metal pole.  The temp was over 100 degrees.  Can't imagine how hot the pole must have been but it didn't phase them one bit.

They chose members of the audience to come jump rope with them and chose Vika and Ella.

Of course Nicole and Kayla had to join them.

Not everyone were there to swim.  Don't think this is really swimming attire.

The only irritating thing about the day were the flies.  They wouldn't bother you until you sat down in the chair.  Gavin had fun swatting them with his towel.

They had three different performances with the African Acrobatic team and we watched all three of them.

Of course the girls all wanted pictures with them.  They were pretty buff dudes.

The bathrooms were even decked out.  They had an open atrium.

It was a pretty fun day and worth every bit of our time and money.  I didn't get pictures of all the rides but they had all the same things that the big water parks at home have but without the lines.  We were able to go over and over again all day long.
