I really can't believe that it has already been a month since we set off for Boston, and I don't really want to think about the fact that we only have the rest of this month left... I mean I'm having such a great time, which is why it's going so fast, but I want to put off the reality of leaving for as long a possible.
So the last few days in Florida have been enjoyable but quite quiet. The whole of Friday was spent at Busch Gardens, a theme park and zoo, which we both enjoyed due to the amount of really fast rides (regression back to childhood complete). One of these includes a 200ft vertical drop, facing the ground, on which - during a visit years ago - the ride broke down, right at the top of the drop... So potentially this was some kind of catharsis, by going through with it again (it probably wasn't...). The zoo was cool too, which we viewed from a zip ride gondola (which awkwardly was full with lots of couples...), as were the water rides. These were especially enjoyable as jack and I both wore ponchos, and whilst we were ridiculed by some Americans in the same raft as us, lets just say they weren't laughing when they emerged at the end looking as though they'd gone for a quick swim...
The next day we head to the mall, full of optimism of buying gifts and knock-off designer clothes, but all we ended up with between us was a plug adapter that actually doesn't work. However the true highlight of the day was the food court (a developing theme), where we consumed vast amounts of delicious Chinese food, and managed to waddle to Pinkberry later too.
We've also eaten at a few more steak houses (when in Rome/ Florida), but seeing as the money is starting to run out we thought it wise to return to our diets of fast food and coupon deals...
Today we are on our way to Miami, which I think will be good for recovering from hangovers on the beach (or so I've heard...). For one thing it will be quite different (returning to a hostel), to the last few weeks where we have been staying in a mountain lodge and a hotel, and I guess I'm going to have to adapt to not having a double bed...
P.S. There's a crazy lady on the Greyhound, who keeps spraying something around the bus and talking to herself... I hope we make it...
