Let’s be lazy today
|
Again, we slept in a little, but around 8am we got up, made
ourselves a little breakfast with things out of the fridge and by
9.30 we were out the door. We had a little more shopping to do, so
we wanted to get that out of the way. A friend had asked us to pick
up some Harley Davidson stuff and we finally wanted to get it before
heading to a park. We had looked up where the nearest store was,
programmed the GPS and off we went. Well, once at the store they did
not have what we were looking for, so we went to the next address,
which funnily enough was the Prime1 Outlet. |

So we went there, checked the store, asked for the items and heard
that they didn’t have it either, but they called another store in
Kissimmee and they said they would put the articles aside for us to
be picked up in the afternoon. And since we were at the Mall anyway,
we just paid the Character Warehouse a visit. And guess what, we did
find quite a few things we needed to buy. Most of all another
Thumper for little cousin George, whose “first” Thumper was really
showing some wear and tear. Purchases in hand we headed back to our
car and programmed the new address into our GPS and off we went. The
shop was at the far end of Kissimmee and it took us quite a while to
get there. But once we had found the shop we were greeted in a very
friendly way and when we explained what were there for they went and
got the things we needed from a back room. They then told us that
they had a special offer, a duffle bag, which we could buy very
cheaply as we were going to buy something at a certain amount. We
didn’t think long about it, and agreed on buying it, not knowing HOW
high the bill would be. When we finally were confronted with it, it
took us quite a bit by surprise. Tom paid with his credit card for
it, we picked up the bags and put them into the boot. While driving
through Kissimmee we stopped a few times to check out a few stores,
then before we headed back to Old Key West, we stopped at another
Walmart to have a look if they offered some souvenirs, jeans and
children’s clothing. We found quite a few items and picked up a few
things for lunch as well. |
At around 2pm we were back at our retreat, baked some frozen
pizza and tried the new
salads we had gotten. We were both very hungry and had a really nice
feast. And while Tom had gotten lunch ready I started some more
laundry, which we now put into the dryer. And while the dryer was on
I started getting our Owner’s Locker box started. There are so many
things we can now leave in the US, but packing the box needs some
thinking about. Tom made notes of what had gone inside, so we would
know what was in it and it took quite some time until we were done.
Around 4.30 we put on our swimsuits, grabbed some beach wear and
headed over to the pool. We got some towels and found some chairs,
then headed into the pool. |

After a while I pointed out some people to Tom as I was not sure if
I was right or not. Low and behold it were Carole and her husband
who we had met the previous day while leaving the Magic Kingdom. We
swam over and spent quite some time together in the pool. It was
past 6pm when we finally headed back to our villa, showered and then
thought about what to do. Well, we didn’t really feel like driving
anywhere, so we plopped down onto the couch, put our feet up and
enjoyed some TV. Around 9pm we prepared a late night snack, some
baked Mozzarella sticks and some garlic bread and some of the left
over salads in our fridge. It was a really lazy afternoon and
evening, but we enjoyed it very much and went to bed at around 11pm.
