Tues 15th
This morning we got up slightly later and had some more toast for breakfast
We took another look at the maps and considered going out on the boat but rain was forecast again (and it looked likely to happen).
We decided to go out for a little while, we got some soft serve ice cream at a place nearby called ice sssscreamin’
We found a shopping mall a few miles away so decided to go and take a look. It was much smaller than any of the malls in the Orlando area but I guess that is to be expected.
It started raining whilst we were inside! We got a bite to eat at Burger King and I got a coffee from Starbucks
We started on our way back to the villa but found some more shops so we stopped to take a look around.
There were only about 4 stores actually open which was weird but we did manage to find a bargain iPad case in Brookstone.
We stopped and got some more snacks in Publix on our way back, before having a lazy evening with fried chicken and McDonald’s fries!
Wed 16th
Last boat day and again we had a late start; there was again a threat of storms so we decided not to go out again.
We didn’t have much luck with the boat which was a shame…but we will try again another time!
Thankfully it was the right decision not to go out - there was a massive storm which meant we lost power for a couple of hours in the afternoon!
The boat was due to be collected at 4pm, but Bob (the boat guy) called to say he would pop back to pick it up the next day due to the rain.
We decided to try another local place for dinner - Ciao pizza. This place was very odd, the tables were sooooo close together that it literally felt like you were eating with the people either side.
Rob had pizza and I had a pasta dish, it wasn’t as good as Maria’s but it was still quite nice.
We stopped to get a coffee at Starbucks on the way back.
Thurs 17th
This morning we got up earlier as Bob was coming to collect the boat at 8.30. He arrived and we explained our bad luck with weather had meant that we hadn’t really used the boat.
It was still raining fairly steadily this morning and was very grey so we had a lazy morning at the villa.
The rain stopped early in the afternoon so we decided to take a drive out to Sanibel lighthouse and Captiva Island.
It was warm and very humid, we did have some light rain but it was generally quite dry and bright.
We headed back to the villa for some pool time, stopping to fill up our gas guzzler (not really!) with another $20 of gas!
We had dinner at Ford’s garage again which was good and then headed back to the villa to put more washing on!
