Celebration is the town that Disney built!
A bit late again, sorry, time just disappears. Not going to say anything again about sleeping badly, I’ll just comment when I sleep well, lol.
Left the motel about 7, and headed in the opposite direction for a little bit. There were a few more munzees that needed getting (well far more than I was capable of, but just a few more, and I wanted to get a couple of hotel rooms so that I had my deploy for the day. Made a stop at the Ulumay Wildife Sanctuary though and had a walk alongside the river there. So many butterflies and dragonflies, and those lizards are everywhere, scuttling across the grass, jumping up the fences, running through the trees, stirrings everywhere. Headed off to an Avenue for a hotel room and drove right past the dirt track with such a fancy name the first time, lol, and it even had a stop sign for leaving it, most bizarre.
Did the hour’s drive to Celebration. They have lots of toll roads here, will be interesting to see what it all adds up to!
Found a nice parking spot just down from the lunch venue that Marie & Tim (fellow munzee hunters of course) had invited me to. It was facing a great big park/wetland area with a great trail of munzees around it. There is also a Minnie Mouse vitual munzee garden, which I did a little bit of sitting in the car before braving the humidity, lol.
Well, the walk trail was brilliant, saw 3 alligator babies, a blue heron and a great blue heron, loads of squirrels and lizards once again everywhere, spiders and a great beetle sitting on the back of a sign just above the munzee. Apparently they have armadillos come out at dusk, so I will have to see if I can get back there, would love to see one, they have migrated over from Texas!
Met Marie & Tim at the Columbia Restaurant which is a Spanish style place and famous apparently. I had the Cuban sandwich, which was very nice indeed. Chatted, swapped rovers (they call it flipping) and then after lunch we did a little deploy trail up and down the side of the canal, which was very pretty. They then headed home to Brandon (about an hour away) and I headed off to the hotel. The GPS took me to the back car park, so finding the reception (no, it’s main lobby here) was a bit of an adventure, lol.
Tried to have a nap but it didn’t work, so left to go and finish off Minnie Mouse and grab some more groceries as there’s a fridge to keep a few bits and pieces in. A couple of salads, a grapefruit and oranges (hope they are local!!!) and some more Californian cherries. Of course I forgot the water, and just as well I got back to the car as I had left the lights on. I’m too used to mine turning off automatically. So back to get the water and then back to the hotel for the usual evening rituals.
Disney World tomorrow, the shuttle leaves at 8 am and the first one back is at 6.45 pm. Not sure I’m going to want to spend all that time there, and in a straight line Epcot (the dropping off point is 2.5 miles from here, so if I plan the route right, I could just walk back here. We’ll see! Now to do something about photos for 2 days, lol.
