Orlando

We arrived in Orlando on Friday night. Luckily we had somewhere to stay, despite me. I'd booked a hotel weeks ago, but when I went in to check the reservation it wasn't there so I'd clearly made the whole thing up in my head. Cliff found another place that looked better than the original place and for cheaper so it was all good.

We had a good five nights in Florida, we didn't go to Disney (no stand against commercialism, just been there lots before) but we did visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal. They really have made a good job of it, right down to the butterbeer.


Later in the week we went to Universal Studios (Simpsons ride, Jaws - still scares the life out of me and a huge rainstorm which made us look like we'd taken baths with our clothes on).

We went back to Winter Park and visited the farmer's market and Petebrooke where they do really good chocolate covered popcorn and freezer truffles (still trying to work out that recipe).

We played mini golf next to the baby crocs on International Drive. And ate lots of salad all over town.
