February 4th

   We woke up to a glorious sunny day, up till now it has been warm but overcast, so this really cheered us up!! We went for a walk on the beach after packing up to leave. The sea really looks so wonderfully blue today, and the white sand hurts your eyes it's so bright.

   I took my first turn at driving today, and this tank isn't as scarey as I thought it would be. We stopped off at a Waffle House for brunch, then drove straight down to Fort Myers {about four hours}. Eventually we found  Outriggers which had a room free and decided to just chill out on the beach.

   I had some left over bread with us and decided to feed a seagull which was sitting beside us, within seconds there were around fifty surrounding us, overhead and everywhere. It's the first time I have thrown bread upwards, unbelievable!!!

   We walked for a while, then with cocktails and beer sat on the shore to watch the sun go down. It got cold then so back to our room to at last sort out going online and reply to Emails we'd not received till then - thanks to you all, it makes me feel not so far away when we get messages.

We went to Charley Browns for dinner Surf and Turf and Columbia Crest wine, all very yummy, then back to the diary, we travel the rest of the way to the Keys tomorrow, so another drive day. Talk to you soon!!
