We hit the sack early last night and had a well deserved night’s sleep, close to 10 hours. We drew open the curtains in our room to find the sun shining. It will be close to 80 degrees later today. We decided to spend some time down at the beach before the expected showers would arrive in the late afternoon.
While waiting to pick up the Trolley, we met a nice couple from Canada, Brent and Lorena. They were carrying their chairs and heading down to the beach. We happened to get off at the same stop and chatted with them as we walked along the beach area. It was then we happened to find out that we were going to be on the same ship on Saturday. A very nice couple indeed and I’m sure we’ll run into them on the ship.
We parted ways and we went to find our regular breakfast cafe.
A few years ago, Hubby go me hooked on Eggs Florentine. Part of our intro into vacation mode is to enjoy this wonderful meal. To keep with tradition, I’ve learned I can now order the same meals but without bread. I now call this version my “Naked Eggs Florentine”.
After an hour of shopping, we decide to hang out at the curved concrete boardwalk and do some people watching. What a gorgeous day!
In the early afternoon, we head back to the hotel to take a quick nap and to enjoy our balcony time. We are definitely enjoying our balcony time and well…the view! It’s getting hot out there as well. Love it!
There is only one ship in port today the Crown Princess. You can tell that most of the FLL area including the 17th Street Causeway and on the beach does not feel crowded at all.
While I’m reviewing pictures and getting a blog post ready, the clouds roll in. Around 4pm, we watch the Crown Princess leave port. You can’t miss it as you can hear her ship’s horn sound their departure across the port area. The Coast Guard Patrol is busy chasing away sail boats and yachts to keep a safe distance from the ship.
We are getting hungry again and in between the rain showers we make the mile hike west along the Causeway to a new Mexican restaurant.
After dinner, we did our last shopping for necessities at Total Wine and Walgreens. The 2nd packing and sorting of our luggage will take place early tomorrow morning (hopefully early).
(I’m working through my 3rd party blog app & Google issues. They are both not playing nicely together. Late in the evening hours I sent an email to the blog app tech support folks not expecting to hear anything until early next week. They responded around 1am with the cause (Google) and a possible solution. After a few more email exchange with them, I might be able to get back on track. Now, that’s a great company work with.)
