Florida - Day 5 - Food and Shopping

We headed to Mall of Millennia on day 5, and of course, straight for the food court. I had honey chicken, with egg fried rice, and an egg roll, and it was delicious!

I bought more clothes. The tops are from H&M and Walmart, and the shorts from Forever 21, and some Gilly Hicks underwear (it was on offer for $10 for bras and $3 for knickers!).

After the mall, we went to Bubbalou's Bodacious Barbecue, which is an awesome little place. I don't think it's so well known by tourists, which was quite nice as you usually bump into British people everywhere! I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich, which was sooooo good! 

Florida - Day 4 - Sea World

Okay, I've completely failed at keeping up with my blog posts over my holiday! I was just way too busy, and way too tired by the time we got to the villa in the evening. But I'm gonna carry on writing them over this weekend, whilst I relax before I'm back at work on Monday!

Day 4 started off as a nice relaxing morning around the pool, reading You're The One That I Want by Giovanna Fletcher. I also read Billy and Me, which is her new book, they're both absolutely brilliant. I didn't want to put them down, and I didn't want them to end! They're amazing holiday reads, if you're looking for any, or if you're just looking for a book to read - read them!

We then spent a late afternoon at SeaWorld, we saw a couple of shows, ate ice cream (amazing) and saw lots of animals. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get on any of the rides! It started to rain, and of course a storm came along and so all the rides were closed! 

When we got back to the villa, we watched the storm for ages, it wasn't over us and so we just sat out by the pool and watched the lightening in the distance.

Florida - Day 3 - Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure

I'm not too sure how well this blog post will go, as I've decided to try out the Blogger app.. Apparently my laptop and the wifi don't get on too well, but my phone is fine! So here it goes..

We were up and ready for 7.30am yesterday, and at Islands of Adventure for 8.30-9am. We decided to stroll around and check everything out, and get on any rides that had barely any queues. 

We absolutely loved the Spider-Man ride, it was amazing! Full of 'oooh's and 'woaaaaah!'s!

Then we got to the amazing Hogsmeade. Where I obviously had to take a selfie with the Hogswart Express! It wasn't too busy when we got there, which we'd hoped for, so we wondered around the shops and wanted to buy everything. 

We then took the Hogswart Express over to Universal Studios. It was brilliant, every detail's been thought about, it was easily one of my favourite parts of the day. 

We arrived in London, where we met the Knight Bus Conductor! 

Of course, we went to Diagon Alley. Which was amazing. Unfortunately we didn't go on the Escape From Gringotts ride, we didn't fancy queuing for 4 hours! 

Instead, we wondered around all the cool shops and bought ourselves and family some pressies. I actually found a keyring with my name on it, which is very rare, so I had to buy that! 

We headed over to Springfield, and went on the ride, which was alright! And then went for a yummy pizza and sat in Moes. 

We spent a few hours wandering around all the shops, trying to keep cool and dying from the heat. I went on the Hulk ride, but I came off with a banging headache! We had a really good time though, the park is amazing, and we're gonna head back for an afternoon next week, as it was waaaaaaay too hot at the time we went! 

On the way back to the villa, we stopped off at Krispy Kreme and got an assorted dozen between us all (that reminds me, I still have one left mmm!). We chilled in the villa to escape the heat for a bit, and then went out for tea to Smokey Bones, which was really good. I had the Chicken Parmasan Burger, which was super tasty!

Florida - Day 1 and 2!

I thought I'd have more time to write blog posts whilst on holiday, but I don't! We're super busy, and when we get back to the villa at night I'm absolutely shattered and go straight to bed. But.. Here's day 1 and 2 in photos, so it's obviously a very photo-heavy post!

(Apologies for the not-so-good photographs, I just really don't fancy carrying a DSLR around with me!)

We decided to grab breakfast at the airport on Wednesday morning, we went to Frankie and Bennies, I had scrambled eggs on brown bread, with a side of hash browns (I couldn't resist!). The flight was 8 hours, and was all on time! It wasn't that bad of a flight, we had onboard entertainment with TVs in the back of the headrests, they had soooo much to watch or listen to on them, and they even had games too! What really surprised me, was that I could stretch my legs right out, which is amazing for me, as I have pretty long legs, and I have a problem with my knees.

We rented a car for our holiday, which is huuuuge! It has automatic doors for the passenger seats, which is highly amusing and is probably my favourite thing about it. We're also renting a villa, which is lovely! It sleeps about 10 people, so it's plenty big enough for the 4 of us (I've come with my best friend, and her parents)! It has an awesome pool, a games room, and another gaming area too.

On Thursday morning we woke up stupidly early, and went to IHOP for breakfast. I had their 'breakfast sampler', which was - eggs, 2 sausages, 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of ham, hash browns and pancakes. It was absolutely amazing and I ate the whole thing, apart from half a pancake! 

Then, we went shopping at Altamonte Mall, and spent waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. I bought presents for my Mum and Mark (boyfriend) though, and treated myself in Forever 21 and Hollister. 

We eventually headed out for tea, and went to Downtown Disney. We'd decided a while ago that we wanted to go to the T-Rex restaurant. We're so glad we did! It was awesome! We both ordered Pulled Pork burgers, which were sooooo good.

Finally, we strolled around Downtown Disney, and tried on silly hats! I didn't really buy anything, apart from a little present for my parents, but they don't know what it is, so I can't say!

I'll hopefully get around to posting about today soon. We went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, and of course, it was awesome!
