Blinds

After sitting in the sun with our breakfast it was time to nip over the beach for a final swim in the sea before loading up the car and leaving Anna Maria Island to head over to Kissimmee for the Disney leg of our US trip.

After getting all checked-in and sorted out with our magic bands and whatnot at our home for the next 9 nights (Port Orleans - French Quarter, very good first impressions) we hopped on a shuttle bus to the Magic Kingdom park where someone in the family (I'll give you a clue, it wasn't me) had organised various Fastpasses for our evening's entertainment. And it was all going beautifully until we were just about to go on Dumbo near the end of our night when the skies opened and the thunder rolled and the lightning cracked and all the rides shut down and people scattered everywhere looking for shelter from some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen.

[Another band name here for misterprime's benefit - Pachyderm Apocalypse.]

Eventually got on a bus back to our place and had an alfresco pizza with a suitably chilled Reef Donkey APA at 11pm for 'tea'. Sitting outside the food court in the sweltering, muggy, humid Florida night. And it felt pretty good.
