FL15 - Days 7 & 8

Day 7 was Tuesday. The day after Memorial Day.  We had a local day at the Village as Claire wanted to get her nails done at the salon on site.  We had a read and she had a swim before the appointment.

Afterwards we had a drive down to the Miromar Outlet Mall between Fort Myers and Naples. Quite restful and she got a new pair of trainers from the Puma outlet.  On the way back it started to spit and we got caught by a guy selling Dead Sea Salt "treatments". You know it is wrong to stop but you get caught! It's the kind of time-share sales technique. They do half the woman's face and the wrinkles disappear and then they come out with $500 price for the kit. You say you don't want it, then it drops to $250. We made our escape at that point.

We ate in again. After two days of salads we had a Walmart pre-cooked chicken and veg. Yummy.

Day 8 was today.  Up and out and our destination was Sanibel Island.  I had a few places dialled into TomTom bur first of all it was a stop at Bailey's on the Island for a coffee and decide which place to go to. In the end we chose the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge.  For $5 you can drive through in the car.

We saw loads of birds and fish. 

Heading off the island there is a causeway and a bridge. It's free to get off but $6 per car to get on.

On the way back TomTom took us on a different route to US41 and this time we went past the Ford Edison Winter Estates.  

As we are eating in again, we stopped at a Publix in PG for dinner.  Once back it was time to have a swim in the pool and then catch up with the blog.
