Thursday 13th August - Whoops! A bit too fast.

This morning I decided to do a final bit of shopping before we head back to the UK so I set off on my own, Lisa and Baggage just wanted to chill to drive up to festival bay.


On the way through Disney land as I cut across the bottom of it to reach International Drive I got stopped by a Highway Patrol Officer for speeding, not good in Florida and definitely not good in Disney! He pulled me over doing about 65 in a 50 mph zone. I plead ignorance and own up to being a stupid tourist and he takes pity on me as I have a clean UK license and decides to let me off. Nice Mr. Policeman.


At Festival Bay I get quite a bit of stuff including a new book The Runes of the Earth - Stephen Donaldson, the first volume in the final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, a series of books I read back in the ‘80s. I also get a Christmas present for Baggage, organised aren’t I!


When I get back to the house I chill and finish Cell, a really good read which I thoroughly enjoyed.


This evening Lisa & Baggage go to Bob Evans with vouchers for a free meal that they got from the Library when they visited recently, we decided it would be good for the girls to have a girly trip out. I am happy to stay at home anyway and cook for myself then watch a movie as I have finished my book!


Not a late night and we are really getting into the frame of mind of going home now, we have a couple more things to do before we do head home, but most of our time will be spent in preparation for our final journey to take us back to the UK and North Devon.
