Temp: 38°C - very humid

We got abit of a sleep in today, bags to coach wasnt until 9;00am. We jumped on the bus and headed for Pensacola, Florida.
It was planned we'd have a day at the beach.. unfortunately for us, the storm that has been following us across the country continued to stalk us.
We got off the bus and headed for the water, only to be told about 10minutes later that we must get off the beach and head for cover as there was lightening around, apparently 'the water isnt the safest place to be in a storm”, who knew?!
So we spent the next 2 hrs over at the shops, having a walk round and some lunch. It looked like the storm has cleared abit so we tried our luck again at the beach. We only got about 20minutes on the beach before we had to head back to the bus though.
We jumped on and headed to our accomodation for the night. We had a little extra time before dinner so headed for the pool. As my knee is still not great i decided it'd be the perfect opportunity for some pool physio haha.
We got cleaned up and ready for dinner, tonight it was Indian...
Some rice, butter chicken and rice pudding (aka goup) and i was done.
The rest of the night was spent in the lobby (because thats the only place we could get free wireless) with about 8 others investigating our option for Orlando...Disneyworld or Universal Studios or...shopping at the outlets..what to do?!
