The adventures of Sarah & Brian
We've just recovered from our drinking binges in St Augustine. Went a bit mad on the 50c beer night (no surprise really) and somehow ended up in a vintage clothes shop trying on crazy dresses and shirts at 1am (pictures to come soon....).
The hostel we stayed at was ace, run by a pirate and had a pirate theme with pirate pancakes (?!) for breakfast. Had 2 nights out, the second of which involved Brian losing the ruddy car keys. We had a right panic on the next morning, and we were parked in a 2 hour zone - disaster! Luckily they turned up in one of the pubs, phew.
From there we made our way to Orlando, to a little known park called Sea World where a large black and white sea faring creature resides. Spent 2 days there, saw the Shamu killer whale show 3 times - sat right at the front for one and got drenched. Why is it so hilarious getting soaked? It was total hysteria down there..
Saw the gay dolphin show twice, fed some sea lions and stared at the manatees waiting for them to do something (it never happens...).
On the way down we stopped at Blue Spring State Park and saw a pretty good list of wildlife: a manatee, turtles, a little alligator, snake. I went for a swim but Brian was too chicken. (balls! says Brian)
Started feeling a bit fat Vegasified in Orlando 'cos there's buffets and cheap food everywhere (and fat people). Had a breakfast buffet for about 2 pounds which included cake and ice cream - ridiculous.
Ooo forgot, we also went to the Kennedy Space Centre on the way to Sea World. Saw some bloody great big rockets, a couple of IMAX films and various other space related items and activities like trying on helmets.
We also went to what is supposed to best beach in the US of A. Pretty nice but not a patch on most of the ones in Oz.
We're now camping in Fort Myers due to depleting funds and overpriced accomodation in Florida. It's gonna take a bit of getting used to after the luxury of motels but the added bonus is there is free shuffleboard, pool and scrabble. Played all 3 last night while getting tipsy on a bottle of cheap wine (each).
Staying here for 3 nights just because you get the 3rd night free. Will probably just chill on the beach ahhh the stress of it all heheheheheheheh
Bye for now buddies
