Thursday 04th January 2007: Road Trip Day Two


This morning we went to cafe called Britts on the seafront for a fry-up breakfast, it was nice but the bacon out here is horrible it’s really thin and crispy just like the fat with no meat. Then we continued to look through some more tacky shops and I bought a pink vest which says Clearwater Beach on it.

The rest of the day we drove back to Orlando. In the afternoon we picked up Johnny from The Commons and Kirsty from work and went to Walmart to do a bit shopping. Having the car was so convenient to carry heavy shopping and meant I could drive them all to their apartments without having to walk from the bus stop.

In the evening I had such a great time. I drove Kirsty, Celsey and Beth to Old Town, which is in Kissimmee. It was the original town of Kissimmee or something like that. It has a fairground and a long street full of retro shops which absolute fascinate me. We went in a shop which sold loads of vintage American shop signs, one which sold vintage 1950s dresses and an "English" shop. It's owned by a British man who now lives over here and sells British food and other things. We had dinner at Ponderosa, which is like the Golden Corral - a cheap all you can eat buffet. Had such a great two days off - feels like I was off work for ages!
