FL17 - Day 4

Up early although today was a rest day. One where we stay local usually.

First stop Old Town Kissimmee. Not quite the old town we had expected. Given Florida's history where the indigenous communities were moved away and white Americans moved in, we had expected something genuinely old. Nope.

It was a bit deserted and a few places only were open. We had a wander  around and took some pictures. On a theme night it will be humming. Thursday is bike night and Friday car night. We'll be back.

Next stop Starbucks located inside Target store. We had a coffee and a walk around. I bought some boot laces again for my walking boots at home.

And most importantly some coffee filter papers. And less importantly a dog jumper for Reggie.

Where next? Lunch? Or maybe the Harley shop just off the Irlo Bronson Highway, aka US192.

As usual the staff great you and ask where you are from. Whether this is HD or something that US dealerships do.  I can't say we were made to feel all that welcome in the Triumph/BMW/Ducati shop in Fort Myers. They seemed uninterested to even sell me a t-shirt. So they didn't get a sale.

This branch is quite small but has a full range of bikes and gear. The new Road King does look really nice. The one in a kind of burnt orange looked very nice. I didn't look at the price tag.

However, I did buy a t-shirt. It maybe a tourist thing. Our dealers seemingly​ have caught on with the personalisation of shirts for their shops only recently. I still have one from my visit in 1991!

From there it was lunch. We headed east along Irlo Bronson again. Perkins.

We arrived when their computers were down and they could accept only cash. Suits us. As usual the meals are reasonable and too much for my belly.

After that is was back to the apartment to chill. Read. Siesta. Dinner. TV. Bed.

Tomorrow. Kennedy Space Center.
