Orlando - Blogabond

Got to Orlando on Monday afternoon. Collected the hire car and Damian got to work on his driving-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-road skills!! So - while he concentrated on that I tried to navigate us through the busy roads to our hotel. We ended up taking a bit of a scenic route through the touristy part of Orlando, but eventually worked out the road system and arrived at the Rodeway Inn. It is on International Drive which we think is a lot like a mini Las Vegas. It is lined with restaurants, fast food places, hotels and mini-golf and entertainment areas.

The hotel is comfortable and fairly quiet. We have both adjusted to the time difference, although it took me a few days to get used to it.

We have both been rather amused by what Americans eat for breakfast. The buffet at Sizzlers (across the road from the hotel) offers the usual fruit, cereal, yoghurt, eggs, bacon, toast - as well as pancakes with syrup, chelsea buns, doughnuts and soft-serve ice cream!! Yuck!!

It is very, very hot and very humid - bit like Durban in summer. There is a heat wave in the South East of the country (where we are) but there are floods and storms to the far north of us around Chicago.
