Fun in the way-to-hot sun!

[forever_wandering]

Since I'm trying to lose weight, I make a habit of eating home-cooked meals as opposed to eating out. During my mini-vacation with Mugen though, we ate out quite a bit and I can feel that I've put on weight, even though it doesn't show. 

And it doesn't help that Mugen gave me an awesome box of chocolates made with all sorts of unusual ingredients.

Ginger, Wasabi, Black Sesame. 
Hickory Uncured Bacon, Alderwood Smoked Salt. 
Mexican Ancho  & Chipotle Chillies and Ceylon Cinnamon. 
Oaxacan Guajillo y Pasilla Chillies. 

So far, I've only tried one of the Ginger, Wasabi and Black Sesame chocolates. I thought it would taste disgusting, but it actually wasn't bad at all! 

Anyway, we decided to go hang out at a water park since the weather was nice and the tickets were cheap. Even though I wore SPF +50 sunblock, I still got sunburnt! Since we arrived early, we had time to get on all the rides. My favorite one was a slide where as you near the end, the tubes become transparent and you can see real dolphins swimming around you as you go down. After we got on everything, we relaxed near the pool. 

Aaaah, so much fun!!

The chocolates sound fascinating. I've never found anything here quite that outlandish.

...and great photos, too. Weirdly, my photos tweaker of choice has removed their vignette effect. What do you use?

Im so curious to hear your grades on each of these chocolates particularly the last one as it sounds rather exotic.

Wonderful photos, love the colours.. where was this waterpark?

I'm sure you wrote about it somewhere, but why does Mugen have the big red ** attached to the name?

omg the flavours of the chocolate!! O_O so... erm... how do they taste? I find it hard to imagine how chocolate with wasabi would taste... I recently tried chips of wasabi flavour and yeah... they were wasabi.

the water park looks sooooooooooo beautiful!! and omg on a slide with dolphins?? TELL ME WHERE IS THIS MAGICAL PLACE!!!!!!! *Q*

btw, Mugen is cute ;D

wow never heard of these type of chocolates!
girl don't worry.. be strong woman and don't eat them in one day.. slowly one choco by day or once in a few.. won't kill your diet, make it treat for yourslef ^^
btw... if you really gain a bit of weigh again I'm sure you'll came back on track really quickly, because body remember your last dieting/work out time.. it'll be easier right now to come back ^^

I use the same sunblock and my face always got burn.. I don't have a clue what to use to stop it form happeneing.. totally understand your problem >.>

Glad you had a good time!

The flavors seem... interesting lol. I'd have to try them out, but I'm iffy on the uncured bacon flavored one. Let me know how it tastes when you've tried them! Do you know if these are chocolates are sold internationally?

I love these photos! :D

The chocolates definitely sound interesting. I was surprised at how good the goya flavored chinsukos were that were in my random box from Okinawa last time.

Ah, waterparks. I envy you. Michael burns ridiculously easily so it's impossible to go to a waterpark with him and I don't really have time otherwise.

Is that guy in the glasses your boyfriend?

He has a nice body. I'm currently lifting weights, and I'll be lucky if after years of lifting I'll look as good as that.

The unusual chocolate sounds interesting - I think I'd eat that too because I'm really into eating strange stuff like that.

The water park looks like one I've been to that is part of Sea World, Orlando - is that the same one you were at?
