As crazy as it sounds, one of the parts of our trips to Florida I most enjoy are the early-Sunday-morning visits to Walmart. We're still on UK time so often wake up around 3am, although on this trip it wasn't so bad - maybe 5.30. We've no food in the apartment, so Walmart really does have to be the first port of call during our holiday.

Due to not having a car our plan this time was to walk to the store (a mile away) and then get an Uber back. And in keeping with tradition, we have breakfast at the McDonald's there too. Roderic chose to run to the store (and back) but the rest of us walked.
I love the sheer variety of food here, and we felt that the quality had gone up and the prices had gone down since our last visit. We had no problems finding bread which didn't contain high fructose corn syrup (and it tasted much better than we remembered) and as ever there were lots of things we just can't get at home and were looking forward to trying. Breakfast cereals in particular are wonderful - my favourite Cinnamon Toast Crunch now comes in a churros version!

Gwen and I spent some time at the pool in the afternoon, then had a walk around the resort to see what other fun things were available, and the plan was to eat one of the pizzas we had bought for tea. But at 5pm, watching Downton Abbey, I was suddenly overcome with exhaustion and decided instead to go to bed. By 5.30 I was fast asleep (7 hours behind, remember, so my body clock thought it was past midnight) and according to my Fitbit I slept for almost ten hours. I needed it!
