Just a Regular Day

Just another regular day on beautiful Sanibel Island!

We started the morning with another leisurely walk around the lighthouse point, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful surroundings. Around noon, we headed back to the bicycle rental shop to exchange my bike, which, unfortunately, had nonworking brakes. A little inconvenience, but easily taken care of!

Once again, it was a gorgeous day, with brilliant blue skies and a gentle breeze. One thing we've been noticing is that Sanibel seems much less crowded than usual. Even at our timeshare resort, occupancy appears to be only about one-third of what it normally is.

Apparently, many people sold their timeshares following Hurricane Ian, and prices dropped to rock-bottom levels. Whatever the reason, we're certainly enjoying the benefits. Traffic is much lighter, the roads are more pleasant, and the island has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

We finally got together with our Canadian friends, Pam and David, on the beach to catch up. They're quite fascinating people who share our love of travel. Both are avid sailors and private pilots, so there's never a shortage of interesting stories and adventures to talk about!

After a relaxing soak in the hot tub and a refreshing dip in the pool, we rounded off the evening with delicious grilled steaks and the latest TV news. A little bourbon on the rocks made for a perfect finishing touch and, hopefully, a good night's snooze.

Life on Sanibel is pretty sweet!Okumaya devam et
