Ernest Hemmingway's House
10 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Next we're heading to Ernest Hemmingway's house, a lovely 2 storey house with a veranda going all around the upper floor.

The house is very popular and it was quite hard to get around, bad timing by us there was a large cruise ship docked and this was one of the excursions.

The house and gardens are full of cats, all descendants from the 40 cats that Hemmingway had when he lived here, remarkable from all having six toes down the generations.En savoir plus

The clouds are clearing now and it's warming up.

We walk along all the quaint little roads and end up by the dock where the cruise ship has docked it is huge.

Exploring Key West part 2
10 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
We next walk down to Malory Square where everyone comes to watch the Sunset, we have a look at Sunset Pier but there is an island right opposite where the sun would go behind so when we return later we walk further round the corner for an uninterrupted view.

Now it's time for lunch so we stop at The Salty Frog, we're being very good we both have salads, and a Mojito and a beer of course.

We catch the Trolley Bus back to the room for a rest before setting out tonight for Sunset watch.En savoir plus

Sunset At Key West
10 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ 🌙 28 °C
This is what I have been waiting for, I love sunsets and in Key West they are supposed to be spectacular. When we woke to cloud's this morning I was doubtful we would get to see one but as the day progressed the sky got clearer.

We walk down to Malory Square and head away from the crowds a bit further round the corner, the perfect spot. We watch the boat's full of people sail out of the harbour on their Sunset Cruise.

After watching the sun go down and taking many, many photos we head back up Duval Street in search of a drink and a meal.

The drink we get at Irish Kevin's, one of the iconic bars in Key West, they had live music and they have their own range of merchandise which includes over 90 different styles of T-shirt.

Next stop is The Stinking Crawfish restaurant where we have Fish and Chips and very nice they were too. Another musician here as well to serenade us while we
eat.En savoir plus

The Tamiami Trail
11 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Up and on the road early this morning as we have a long way to go. We drive back up the Keys and stop for breakfast just outside Key Largo, Martin tries Grits, they look and taste disgusting.

After leaving Interstate 1 we pick up the Tamiami Trail across The Everglades, a big expense of nothingness.

The road, by American standards is quite and so I decided to have a drive for a few miles until we reached the outskirts of Naples, our destination for today.

We are stopping at The Lime Tree Inn, we have a lovely big room, called Dhalia, with 2 queen sized beds and a kitchenette. Outside there are lovely gardens and wooden seating outside each room and a swimming pool. Martin later takes advantage and has a dip.En savoir plus

Naples by night
11 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Early evening we walk into town along 5th Avenue, a road packed full of expensive shops and restaurants, most of which seem to be Italian.

We continue walking until we reach the beach, beautiful white sand but as there is quite a breeze the sea looks a bit choppy. We walk along the shoreline until we reach the Pier and then head back into the town in search of a drink and a meal. The price's in these restaurants is quite a bit more than we expected but then again when we looked in a realtors window you don't get much around here for under a couple of million dollars.

We have a drink in a bar and then it's The Old Pub for a burger. We then retrace our way back down 5th Avenue which is now lit up with fairy lights around the Palm trees, halfway back we sit and listen to a busker playing the violin, he was very good.En savoir plus

Senibel Island
12 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Our plan this morning is to leave Naples and to drive North along the coast to Saribel Island taking in the view's of the coast and maybe have a walk on the beach. 'Ah Ah Computer Say No'

The beach although beautiful is not possible to get to as there are beautiful huge houses built along the shoreline each having it's own private beach. At Bonita Springs we did manage to park up and walk to a public beach but it was less than a quarter of a mile before the private beach signs appeared.

We continued on to Senibel Island over bridge's similar to the Keys. Again due to the large number of trees and big houses no sign of the beach We stop for lunch and decided to give up on beach watch and continue on our way.

We drive down Interstate 41 which seems to be 1 continuous line if shopping malls on both sides of the road and arrive at tonight's destination, The Island Breeze Inn in Venice.En savoir plus

After resting up a bit and trying to decide what to have for tea we drive to the Pier to watch the Sunset. Another popular place with a couple of restaurants which are packed.

After that we head back to the room picking up a Chinese takeaway on the way.En savoir plus

Today we are meeting up with Fi and Mark on Anna Maria Island. We head down Interstate 41 along the coast road again, more beautiful houses and stunning views, the sea is either turquoise or green. After a while Martin spots a little inlet with parking so we pull over for a look.

The sand is white, the sea is clear and the view is beautiful.En savoir plus

13 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Back in the car and as we reach the Island we see a sign for Coquina Beach and stop to have a look.

There is a huge car park with picnic benches, toilets, showers and changing rooms and it's all free.

The beach is amazing, huge with soft white sand, so off we head for a paddle.

On the way back to the car we see signs for a Farmer's Market so have a look at that, not sure where the farmer's come into it as there is only 1 food stall, all the others are craft stalls.En savoir plus

We head to the furthest point of the island to meet Fi and Mark by The City Pier. It's a pier so we have a walk to the end for a spot of of light refreshment and a catch up.

Next up is a ride on the free Trolley bus into the centre of the town for a stroll and a bit of shopping.

We have a sit on the swinging chairs at the end of the jettiy before getting something to eat.En savoir plus

Fish Supper
13 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We have our meal at The Beach House Waterfront Restaurant and sit at a table right on the beach.

We all have fish of some sort, Fi and Mark have Salmon, Martin has Stuffed Hake and I have Fried Shrimp with a portion of Fried Green Tomatoes for us all to try.

After the meal and a quick paddle we wait for the Trolleybus to take us back to the car and continue our journey to tonight's stay at Dunedin.

Our route off the island back to the mainland is via The Sunshine Sky Bridge, 4.4 miles long and 430 ft high, we make it to our destination as the sun sets.En savoir plus

14 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Dunedin is the most like any town back home that we have been to or driven through, in the sense you can see people walking about and it has some sort of a centre.

After a leisurely breakfast we head down to the marina via the Farmer's Market held in a park in the centre of the town.

This market was full of food stalls and even had a stage for entertainment.

We went down the boardwalk to watch the boats and the pelicans and egrets pestering the fishermen.En savoir plus

The Dunedin Pub Crawl
14 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Right here is where the fun starts and this could get messy.

Dunedin has 6 Breweries and 1 Distillery, not to mention all the other bar's and eateries.

We start at The Hob Brewery Company, very nice beer, we sit outside in an upstairs location away from all the children.

Next, just down the road is Cueni Brewing Company, this is just like sitting in a brewery as you are surrounded by Mash Tuns, great beers and lovely glasses but at 7 dollars each was too much to buy and my handbags not big enough. The boy's had a game, kept them quiet for a bit.En savoir plus

Onwards and upwards, next up is The Woodwright Brewing Company, again you can see the mash tuns in this brewery. The beer is going down very well but we now decide we need to eat.

Next up is Dunedin Brewery, the original Craft Brewery of Florida.

Again we sit surrounded by mash tuns.. This is where we try a taster board, 4 small glasses of beer, not such good choices here but the foods good, a selection of burgers, wraps and chicken.En savoir plus

On The Homeward Stretch
14 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Fully replenished we stop for an Ice Cream before heading to the next brewery, this may be a big mistake.

Next one up is The Caledonian Brewing, this was my least favourite (Deb)

Then last but not least we make it to the Soggy Bottom Brewery. This is the nearest to the place where we are staying.

Martin and Mark change from beer to Cider, Pineapple and Peach flavours, this could be a mistake, but we seem fine at the moment.

Now comes the hard bit, crossing 4 lanes of traffic, thank god for traffic lights.

Safely back at the ranch and not too worse for wear we have another drink, well why not, and a couple of games of 'Sorry' before turning in for the night.En savoir plus

15 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We're up fairly early as we have to leave by 11 am and we want to stop off at Duke's Brewery for the car and truck fest at Lakeland on the way home.

Computer says No!

We load up our car ready to leave but Mark's car won't start. Luckily he took out roadside assistance when we picked up the cars. After about an hours wait Andy the AAA man arrives. After plan's A B and C fail we try plan D. Hooray apparently it was dirt on the battery connections.

We decide to head straight home and after a couple of diversions and stocking up supplies at Walmart we make it home.

A nice leisurely afternoon spent by and in the pool, me included.

This is the life.En savoir plus

Sometimes It Hertz
16 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Today is going to be a lazy day to get over the travelling of last week.

Martin goes to check out some golf courses, Fi and Mark have a man come to talk about roof tiles and I chill out with a book by the pool.

After lunch Mark goes out to check the car will start ready for tonight.

Oh no flat as a preferable fart again, and so the saga starts. Fi gets on the phone to Hertz car rental, explains what has happened and how we'd had the same problem yesterday. They would send out the AAA to check the battery Fi said that's not good enough. After over an hour and us saying we were not prepared to drive to the airport to pick up a new car, which could have taken us anything up to 3 hours, they finally agreed to deliver a new vehicle to us at no charge, should be there in 2-3 hours.

Eventually after about 4 hours and 2, more phone calls plus the AAA man telling us the battery was knackered the new vehicle arrived.

How Fi managed to keep her temper, especially after being hung up on, I will never know if a true star..

Unfortunately due to the late delivery of said vehicle our dinner plans had to change so we went to Rock Brews a restaurant playing'rock band' videos and sports channels, very different but good.

Let's hope the new car starts in the morning.

Birthday Breakfast
17 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Today we are celebrating my birthday tomorrow , and Fi's belated one from last week, with Fi and Mark as tomorrow they will be meeting up with friends who live in the States.

Fiona and Mark have arranged for us to have breakfast at The Cape May Café at The Beach Club Resort in Disney. It was an all you can eat buffet in lovely surroundings. Fiona and I were wearing badges stating is was our birthdays so everyone was wishing us Happy Birthday, we were also given a cupcake with a candle in it and I had a birthday card. Pre Covid the Disney characters would have been touring the restaurant for photos.

After breakfast we walked around The Boardwalk looking at the other hotels in the 4 resorts around the lake.

After this we drove down to Disney Springs where I bought a Christmas decoration celebrating Disney's 50th year.En savoir plus

The Grand Floridian
17 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Originally Fi wanted to take us to afternoon tea at The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Disney's flagship hotel but since Covid they have not resumed and the only way you can now get into the hotels is with a reservation, as she wanted us to see it she blagged her way in. Fi made a reservation in an attempt to get on the car park and with help from the nice security guard between them both booked and then cancelled an order for a pickup food order so we were allowed to park for a look around.

The hotel is huge but very beautiful both inside and out. We sat for a while listening to the piano player.

We walked down to the lake where I managed to get a picture of the turrets on the Magic Kingdom Castle.

Now as it's over 94 degrees we are heading home before going out tonight.En savoir plus

17 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
After a quick freshen up we head out to one of Fi and Mark's favourite eateries, Cherry Pocket at Lake Pierce.

We sat outside overlooking the lake on Aligator watch. We had a lovely meal and we even tried grilled 'gator., it tastes very much like chicken.

There was live music while we ate and we saw 3 small alligators swimming around. I can see why Fi and Mark like it so much.

After our meal we walked down to sit by the lake to see if we could see any more Aligator, no sightings but we did hear one.En savoir plus

VoyageurGlad you had a great time there! But as a local I thought you might like to know it is located in Lake Wales, not Fort Pierce. They are 90 miles apart. There is a Lake Pierce, which is the name of the lake that the restaurant sits on. Just wanted to help others find it if they wanted to.

Celebrations In Celebration
18 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Today is my Birthday and I've had lots of messages, cards and gifts.

Fiona and Mark are meeting up with Francis and Mark at Disney for the day so Martin and me are going to Celebration a Disney town.

When we get there we walk down to and around the lake where we saw a Heron, Turtles and a Racoon but still no Aligators.

We went for a drink in The Celebration Town Tavern and I had a birthday video call from Jackson and Tom.

On the way back to the villa we shop at Aldi for some nice bits of steak for tea then spend the rest of the day by the pool. It's 98 degrees and we finish the day with thunder and a rain storm.

As it's my birthday Martin has offered to cook the tea and a very good job he did of it too.En savoir plus

Today Martin is playing golf at White Heron so Fi, Mark and myself are going to the outlets stores at International Drive.

We started at the outlets but apart from shoes for me and new Trainers for Mark we didn't have much success.

We then drove to Outdoor World, possibly the largest shop I have ever been in, they give you a map so you can find your way around.

Clothing, Shoes, Fishing equipment, Guns and Ammunition, Camping equipment and Boats plus lots of other stuff.En savoir plus

After the Outdoor World shop we drove down International Drive, a long road and one either sides were shop, bars, restaurants, hotels and rides such as a big wheel, an reverse bungie jump.

We also drove past what is reputedly the largest McDonald's in the world, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, The Upside Down House, we could also see Volcano Bay, the water park for Universal Studios.

Back home and Martin is waiting for us after a good game of golf, a dip in the pool and pizza and salad for tea.En savoir plus

Breakfast at Egg City
20 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Today we have woken up to quite thick cloud again so our plans of chilling by the pool and soaking up the rays don't look like happening.

We went to a real American Diner called Egg City for breakfast. It's a very popular place Fi ordered an omelette with potatoes, Mark had similar to English Breakfast. Martin and me decided to share an omelette with potatoes and a stack of Blueberry Pancakes. There was way too much.

After breakfast Martin went for a walk, Mark stayed at home to start the cleaning and Fiona and I went to get some souvenirs.

On the way back the skies turned black and the lightening started, next we had monsoon conditions which made driving difficult but Fiona coped well even with a very nervous passenger.En savoir plus
