Last night we had a nice diner " at "Chicken Fil A", pronounced "Chicken Filla". A chicken restaurant with (turns out) very tasty chicken sandwiches. The had a great chouce in food and they serve it with the speed of light.
This morning we left for a day of shopping, we jumped in the car en went straight to "The Florida Mall", there were so many stores (also many the same kind. They even had a CROC original store, that says it all. In the center of the shopping mall there was a kind op “pop-up” store where you could have your teeth bleeched, succes guaranteed….
Well let me keep my brace for a while and then let the dentist do his work instead of giving a shady figure $ 100 and wait for what remains of my teeth :), I pass .... The highlight of the Floria Mall was the store of "Carlo's Bakkery" a branch of America's best-known bakery. The delicacies were made there on the spot. Boy what a nice and delicious things they have overthere. Esther and I both ordered the world famous "Canoli's"we have seen those at Carlo’s TV shows and really wanted to try them. . I had a natural and a chocolate. Esther had besides the Canoli also a strawberry cheescake tower and Senna and Sam both a Pokemon Ball and a (Senna) chocolate Mousse pastry and a Cheescake (Sam) tartlet. Really that tasty ...... We had a sit and enjoyed every bite of it. If you ever get the chance, really do ..... You can’t imaging what’s the delightfullness..... After this taste sensation we drove towards Kenndy Space Center.
Ps. There are many sports shops where they sell the shirts and caps of all American clubs (football, baseball and ice hockey). They are also wonderfully displayed, very cool to see. We have also seen that Keepers (soccer keepers) are scarce here. We looked at Goalkeeper gloves for Senna, ehm ... better don’t :). Gloves that cost around $ 50 in the Netherlands (converted) are easily $ 160 here. You can imagine that Senna said “Nah…let’s buy them at home”..
On our way to Kennedy Space Center we drove through pieces of swamp where at once In the middle of nowhere houses raises. Kind a scenery that you know from the TV series, every time I misread my sons with "Look overthere an aligator ..... oh no, a piece of plastic" I liked it better than they did hahaha. .. At Kennedy Space center we had a family meeting, I actually wanted to go inside to see everything, my sons didn’t want to go in .. Had no sense and did not seem interesting enough. Of course I didn’t want to go by myself, and Esther wasn’t very eager (althouhg she wanted to see it) Too bad, but we are democrats so de majority won….
We entered "Cape Canaveral" in the navigation of the car and went straight to NASA :) entered and on to the launchers of NASA .... On our way we encountered the port of the Disney Cruises, there were three large cruise ships with all options : ), slide parks etc .. Great to see. Everyone tries to pick up a piece of bread around the harbor. Whether it concerns (not original) Cruise merchandise or Cruise parking places (for your car when you go on a cruise). It can all be done overhere. We decided to drive back to Orlando to the Outlet Shopping Center. Once we arrived in the neighborhood we thought it was pretty busy, not knowing that this was all for the outlet stores. Once in the parking lot, it was one anthill of cars looking for a parking space..... I had Esther and the kids get out (they needed to go to the toilet badly) and started looking for a spot, without success ... In the end I choose for Valet Parking. When you come back you give your ticket and they pick up em nicely. I was a bit shocked of the price but if you bought something from one of the stores you got the price for Valet again as Discount (for today it was the Hillfiger store). All stores had a sale and then it is nice to buy clothes, it saves you a lot of money. I but myself a neith sunglasses, so it was a successful day. At around 5 o'clock, a cloudburst appeared to have erupted, Luckily we were already in the car, so no problem.
On our way back to the resort it was very crowded on the road. Along the way there was this couple who got in a huge fight together…Where is the popcorn when you need it hahaha ... Arriving at the resort, the men went straight to the pool, splashing for a moment. I just climbed into the phone to reserve a start time for us tomorrow morning, tomorrow we are going to run the Legend tour, 9 holes golf course .. looking forward to it .... 08.00 our time (here in Orlando so) we hit the club ..... so if you have your car somewhere in the park, its wise to move it ... I do not turn out so pure ....
