Aquaparc and Lake Sensation


Saturday I went to Aquaparc with my friends to celebrate my birthday. I just want to be a little kid again and what better place than a waterpark with slides?

There were 9 of us, 6 guys and 3 ladies. From the minute we hit the waterpark, the guys are acting like little kids. Running to the entrance (and pushing a couple of kids out of the way), changing into a swimsuit in record time, and before the ladies have even found the way to open a locker (it is fully automated) we guys were already ready to hit the slides. So the ladies made their way to somewhere else and we just ran up to the best slide. It was 8 seconds (10 for some slow guys) of exhilarating fun. Pure adrenaline! The minute we get off we just run up again. And again. And again. Oh how good it feels to be 8 again!

We did all the slides - even the boring ones - and then finished off at McDonald's next to it. The perfect 8 year old birthday party! Waterpark and slides can be such fun.

After that it was time for the Lake Parade. Well not the parade itself, because we missed that but the Lake Sensation which is the party afterwards. An unbelievable amount of people were on the streets dancing to different kind of dancing music - house, techno, jungle, drum n bass, even 70s disco (which I think should be banned from such an event).

But at 03.00am exactly all music stopped. Instantly. All 20 stages. On the dot. And that was it. If you want to party more you have to go to a club somewhere, by which you get there at 4, pay an entrance fee, and get kicked out at 5. Or you can go home. What you cannot do is party more. Even if you are at the peak of your partying time. That's Switzerland for you.
