Tuesday
Today we were heading to Naples, so for the last time we strolled along the river at Port Orleans, saw a family of otters - they were just laid on the bank of the river. [msnsmile2]
We loaded up the car and headed for a late breakfast at you guessed Golden Corral, from here we got on the I4 switched on Sat Nav and cruise control and headed toward Naples, we stopped off for a break at the Ellenton Mall, this is a prime outlets and have to say we have stopped here before and it is a nice break, it was very quiet, had some fudge and got 2 pairs of shoes from Rack room I had seen them in Orlando but they did not have my size
Off we went again and boy did we hit rain going down, made driving awful for about 15 mins, we arrived in Naples just after 4 o'clock so that was good timing.
Unpacked and loooked up Publix in the telephone directory and off we went, found it ok got our shopping (including a Marie Chandlers Coconut Creme Pie) and low and behold in the same complex was a Subway, so that pleased Adam, now for those that don't know Adam finding something that he eats is a work of art[msnwink] and at the moment he eats oven roasted chicken breast which is one they don't do in the uk
Wednesday
Lazed around the pool, set off around 6 and drove down to 5th aven along here to beach, we strolled around and went to IHop[ihop] on way home, Adam and I wern't keen but Bob enjoyed his and Adam's, back to villa watched a film and bed.
Thursday
Lazed around pool, then went to find Target and Bealls, nope I bought nothing[msnsad] Adam got 2 DS games he wanted from Target, had a subway and went for a drive, then back to villa, Adam played on his DS while we watched a film and then to bed.
Friday
Lazed around pool then went for a drive - nowhere in particular just around ended up in a Subway and called in a Publix, then back to villa, Bob and I walked across to clubhouse and I got bit[V][}] back to villa and my 2 of the bites were swelling up big time, I put on bite stuff but no a lot of relief, even tried hand gel[msnsad]as I had read that this helped!
Saturday
Lazed around pool sooooooo hot and by now my arm looked like I had burns on it from the bite, it was about 2 inch across and very red and swollen, so I put some ice on it, after lunch we went to King Richards Park - supposed to be an english fort, was ok, it had some rides and batting cages and mini golf and you could feed baby alligators, after here we went to Best Buys and messed around in here on various games - guitar hero etc, this was at the Wildoats centre, we then moved across the rd still in same place and had a ice cream in Coldstone Creamery, walked round rest of shops, the we went into Panera Bread which is now something else Adam loves (their chicken noodle soup) from here we went along to the Coastland Centre and wandered round here - nope I bought nothing[msnsad], had a starbucks and headed off back to villa.
Sunday
After breakfast we headed off on our own Naple's tour, first stop Cove Inn then City Dock, then down Gordon Rd and h ada look at the lovely big house right on the beach[msncool][msncool], then we drove up Gulf shore to Lowdermilk park, a lovely park on the beach it was very busy with families that had the big tables and had barbies going.From here we headed to Mels dinner for late breakfast/dinner was ok nothing to rave about, from here we headed to 5th aven and strolled about had ice cream, from here it was down to beach and a stroll along the pier lovely and breezy, could see some dark clouds roling in[msnsad] from here we went to Tin City and walked round here popped into Winery and tried some samples [party2] (not too many cos I was driving) and as many of you know I am not a big drinker, (I did get 2 bottles of Baileys at the airpot so having been havin that with ice)
now the clouds and skies were really dark now and you could here the thunder and the lightening was getting closer, so we headed off back to villa just in time to watch the storm. Headed out to Panera bread for a late tea, I had bake
