    Treasure Island

    May 10, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Exploring the stunning coastline of Florida🌞.....that just so happens to have wild dolphins loving the boat wakes! 🐬 Amazing. Just how a dolphin should be seen.
    This town has such a chilled laid back feel, and a local store (locals not tourists!) that sells the best hot steak sandwich. @Sanders store.
    Being across the road from a traditional rustic dock (Had to sing the tune) topped it....except the keen birds! 😆.
    Loving seeing some real Florida....and the quiet 😊

  • Birthday blast!

    May 12, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    BIRTHDAY! Woke up to ballons that according to Nic she was laughing to the point of crying whilst trying to blow up in the middle of the night in the bathroom 'quietly' 🎈🎈🎈😂
    To be fair I've had a whole week of amazing things....so ive been spoilt already! Headed to Volcano bay water park (a rainy start! But were Brits so.....) Walked a few thousand steps and stairs but well worth it. The rides are on another level, we only completely freaked when we realised we had climbed to the top of the volcano to see the flume was a vertical trap door floor....aaaaaahhhhhh 💩! But fun 😊

    Headed to 'Disney springs" in the evening for shopping, dinner & drinks! You just cant have enough Disney stuff 😬....but its a good job i cant buy anything else i cant carry for the next 3 months! The Boathouse on the pier is👌

    This Birthday was spot on! 😁🎈

    So last day today, finished off in Universal studios to go back over the favourites!! Top 5 overall......

    *Harry potter- the whole experience & the amazing 4D rides!
    *Magic Kingdom - fireworks & castle illumination show

  • Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral

    May 17, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

    Nothing like a come down from the Disney madness!....a few days solo in a cute quiet town. Took a shuttle from the airport to an air bnb in Cape Canaveral, its a nice home with Dodger the dog!....makes me miss my own pup 😕. It's out of season so the coast is quiet but perfect for some pointless roaming, with no place to be and getting loads of rest!
    The beach is stunning, when I'm not dodging the storms!
    I've happily gone to the store and just got salad stuff for picnic dinners at the house....I needed an American food break! Ha. I'm sooooo back on the sugar!! 😜
    So next up it's back to the airport for a night before flying to Cuba to see the girls and join our tour. Can't wait!....for the rum! 😉
