February 26

   Drove to Mount Dora and had a wander around there, it's a pretty little town with lots of antique shops, sat by the lake for a while too, an old man there warned us not to paddle as there was an 8 foot 'gator sunbathing yesterday. Went into a little cafe aptly called "Shiraz" where Andrew had a beer and New York cheesecake and I had creme brulee and a Shiraz Flight which is a sample of 4 different shiraz, all delicious.

   We then drove up to Wekiwa Springs Park which is over 700 acres with alligators, black bears, raccoons, wild boar and about 200 species of birds, it's very pretty, didn't fancy meeting a bear much, and it's full of bitey things, take antihistamin if you go there is my advice!! Walked for a while then got fed up being eaten alive, so back to the car to head for Orlando and the Arabian Nights Show. Dinner is included, so we ate rib of beef in the dark whilst watching the horses. It's supposed to be an exciting and romantic evening, I was expecting something along the lines of the Lipizzaner Horses but it really was more like a circus, funny in places, but other than standing up on the horses backs, there was nothing that I hadn't done easily in my riding days. 

   We came home for a dip in the pool and the diary, off for some zzzzzzzzzz's now as it's been an adventurous day.

P.S. We've both caught colds yesterday - achooo - poor us!!!!!
