The Fun Valley

It may be surprising to those of you reading this blog post in the states, but the preceding picture is meant to inspire thoughts of fun and excitement. This is one of the pieces of equipment at Fun Valley, one of the best water parks in the north of India. It might look rusty, fall-aparty, and unsafe, but it is actually awesome.

Naturally, there were lots of water slides at Fun Valley and they all displayed varying degrees of safety and cleanliness.

Some of them caused kids to shoot in the air dangerously, and some would cause the students to bunch together dangerously. Some of them were barely slippery enough to slide down so students resorted to walking down dangerously on their feet.

Fun Valley also had a wave pool. Beth was going to sit out and read a bit, but decided to join in after she heard several students discussing how they didn't know how to swim.

There were other parts to the park as well. We did some bumper cars, go-kart racing, and roller coastering. None of it felt particularly safe, but most of us made it out of the part in one piece.

We thought we'd end with another fantastic decoration. This was a pot-bellied Mickey Mouse wearing a Hawaiian shirt and holding a tiny ice cream cone that stood on top of one of the more dangerous looking rides.

We'll be sure to take any of our future visitors to Fun Valley as part of their tour of India.
