Back on the road.

[t-tony]

It's a little late is this, we got back last Saturday after all. We finally got to the Naval Air Museum which was an enjoyable few hours when we left there we went to the Florida/Alabama state line to a place called the Flora-Bama which is an old fashioned roadhouse grill. It is the last low rise building left squeezed between the high rise hotels on the beach.

Bought the T shirts

Anyway, when we left Pensacola we decided to to stick on the coastal roads as we made our way back south. We came through Mexico Beach which was blown away by the Hurricane last year.

After seeing the ruined town it was nice to see some lovely coastal roads.

We finally arrived on the Gulf coast near Tampa late Friday night and spent Saturday at John's Pass before returning to base.

Cracking pics Tony.

We love Florida and should really make the effort to get away from the theme parks a bit more when we are over there.

 

[t-tony]

Last time we did a park was 3 years ago when family came over Keith and that was just the MK. There is so much more to Florida.

Tony.

Have you tried Lakeridge Winery in Clermont?

We went last time we were in Kissimmee, good afternoon out with a free tour and wine sampling.

 

[t-tony]

We were recommended to do that mate. Have you been to "Uncle Kenny's BBQ in Clermont at the "Citrus Tower" also the Tiki Bar on lake Mineola down Washington St. of the 27.?

Tony.

 

[Keet]

No, but it's now on our list, hopefully next year

 

[t-tony]

We usually have an evening meal at Kenny's then when you leave turn right at the lights heading North on the 27 to the next lights at Washington St. turn left, then two blocks down there's a car park on the junction and a boardwalk down to the bar. Sunsets across the lake at the bar are awrsome.

What was left of the 'Flora-Bama' after someone made the mistake of commenting on the 'White Swan' T-shirt @t-tony was wearing.

 

[FRANKIE]

A few weeks later an unrecognizable @t-tony, highly tanned and wearing this T-shirt walk into the White Swan..

he ends up here until someone recognizes him and bails him out...
