Hello all,
I am still here in the beautiful city of Austin, Texas. While there are so many things to do and see here, today we decided to take a tour on The Austin Duck Adventures. It is a fun narrated tour of Austin with a splash into Lake Austin.

OMG, this tour was so much fun!! We started off boarding at the Austin Visitors Center aboard an unsinkable, US Coast Guard inspected Hydra Terra vehicle. The vehicle itself looked awesome! The tour is 75 minutes long and the driver narrates while driving and in a fun way tells you about points of interest such as Historic 6th st., the State Capitol Building, Bob Bullock State History Museum, the Governor's Mansion, and Lake Austin amongst other places.
When we first boarded we were all given yellow plastic duck whistles, then we were all told to quack together in certain appropriate places. That created such a fun atmosphere. It was an open air vehicle, so there was plenty of cool air blowing through on the hot and humid day.

Our driver was very knowledgeable of Austin history. I overheard many people commenting, I didn't know that. He told us about the State Capitol building and how its modeled after the one in Washington DC, except Austins is bigger. How there are secret tunnels under the Governor's mansion. and we got to see Dennis Quaid's house. I thought it was interesting when he told us about the Driskill Hotel, and how it was the most haunted place in Austin. Of course after the tour we had to go see the Driskill for ourselves!

After the tour through the town we headed for Lake Austin, and in we went. It was an awesome experience the way the vehicle inched its way into the water and started moving along. The driver pointed out some interesting places along the water, like the expensive Westlake area along the shores. There was such a nice breeze blowing in from the water. It was very pleasant, and felt surreal as boats went by pulling people on waterboards. We really enjoyed the tour, especially the water part of it and quacking on the duck whistles. I highly recommend taking this tour if you never been. I know next time I come to Austin, I am taking the tour again, it was awesome!
