Thursday 17th May 2007


Today was our last day in Orlando, so we didn't plan on doing much. Firstly we missed breakfast, so we got up and went to the shops to buy some postcards, then we came back to the hotel and lay by the pool reading and chatting, oh, and we had last night's leftover pizza for our dinner.

At about 4pm we made a few phone calls home - we spoke to all the Grandmas: Nikki's Grandma Iles and Grandma Coombe and Ben's Granny Vera. We also got to speak to Nikki's Mum and Katie. Niks also rang Nicola and Wayne (hi guys), to see how things were in sunny ol' England and catch up. It was nice for us to speak to everyone - as we've not seen them in ages!

At about 6.30pm we came back to the room and got ready for our last night in Orlando.
We decided to go to Chili's - a restaurant which does lots of Mexican food. We had steak fajitas, chilli, salad and chips. Plus I had 5 pints, not beer but free refills of Dr Pepper (easily beating last nights total of 3!) To finish, we treated ourselves to a HUGE chocolate thing... it was amazing. We did feel a bit guilty, but then saw two American girls on the table next to us eating one each. After all that I was a bit hyper, couldn't believe the whole meal only cost $30 (£15).

On the way back to the hotel we stopped in the 'George and Dragon' English pub, for a nice pint. I had a Carlsberg and Nikki had a Fosters. They had a good singer and it was fun sitting outside listening to the music. Florida weather and an English pub - what a combination.

Mmmmmmm, free refills!
