This year's Boxing Day Bargain is San Diego - Day 2

Another early start today and we were in the gym at about 0645, I did a core class and then used the peloton bike to do a 30 min class plus a stretch  Rob made use of all the weight machines that we don’t have at home.

Once we were done we got ready and had breakfast at Arlo again.

As it was a weekend day they were serving a brunch menu rather than breakfast so slightly different choices today.

I had the Croffle (Croissant Waffle) and Rob had 2 eggs again but with toast instead of the biscuit.

Rob and I headed over to Old Town on the trolley, we arrived quite early and it wasn’t very busy so we looked around inc the market which I think is only there on Saturday/Sunday.

We were in need of a snack (it must have been 2 whole hours by now since breakfast) so we stopped at Mama Antonia’s for churros and Mexican mocha, we were also given chips and salsa for no extra charge and they were quite tasty. We did briefly see the others at Mama Antonia’s as they arrived while we were there.

We wandered around for a bit more and Rob got himself a new belt in the leather shop.

We then took the trolley to Santa Fe and walked to ferry and got ourselves tickets to Coronado Island.

We had a short wait before the ferry arrived but we were soon on our way across.

We walked to the hotel Del Coronado which was around 1.5 miles each way so that we could see the hotel that inspired the Grand Floridian. It was unsurprisingly very busy and the hotel was being refurbished externally so it was hard to get good photos that didn’t include scaffolding.

We had a walk along the beach and wondered if a future stay would be in our budget – we did look when we got back and the room Rob wants starts at around $1500 per night 

After a little while we walked back and it was starting to get chilly (as it tended to in the evenings so we got coffee and then in an alteration to our intended plan we decided to get dinner at Rotten Nicky’s which we had seen earlier (should have done dinner then coffee).

Rob had a burger and I had the grown up grilled cheese (which included ham), the food was good but far too big and I barely ate half of mine – the total cost here was $65 inc tip.

We picked up a T-shirt for Tom on our way back as we had sent him a photo and he confirmed that he would very much like it 

After a short wait we took the ferry back to the Convention Centre then walked to trolley station, we could have gone back to the other stop but it was a longer wait and we were chilly!

We then grabbed a ride on the trolley back to Fashion valley, before walking back via stabby alley and then we watched some tv before bed.
