Sunday April 30 (West Palm Beach)

Well, adventure seems to follow me round, but more later on that, lol!!

It was a somewhat cloudy day today, windy but still very warm. I had decided to go to the beach and so off I went after a late breakfast in my room! 

The hotel receptionist offered me a beach chair and a towel so I did not refuse them. We had to cross a bridge across the channel to the beach and to the left Breakers Ocean Resort was pointed out to me. It is massive with two towers, apparently it houses two golf courses!

I set myself up on the sand and it was nice to relax in the sea air. After a bit of a read I decided to have a paddle, the water was very pleasant although there were lost of waves!. There was a RIP warning out and I could feel the undertow! There were a couple of people in the water, one a surfer, not sure why they ignore the warnings!! Later more surfers turned up and a kite surfer was also having some fun!

After an hour or so, I decided to wander up to Worth Avenue, I saw many lizards scuttling round as i walked along! The shuttle driver had mentioned the Avenue to me and I had noticed on the map there was a Starbucks there. Well, I finally found it tucked away behind Gucci and below Saks, lol!! They obviously thought it would be too tacky to have it on the Avenue itself! Talk about opulent, I now really know how the other half live, lol!! I bumped into a couple of Londoners who live out here now! Apparently, 45's house is not far from here, so I am pleased he is somewhere else this weekend! 

The shuttle finally found me and back at the hotel I discovered the power was out,lol!!! It is at times like these when I wish I was not on the fourth floor but pleased I am not on the top floor (6)! I am thankful I have my own portable router so I could still go online! I had to go back downstairs and discovered the power will be out until tomorrow afternoon so they are relocating us to the Best Western just down the road. 

I packed enough for the evening as well as food for tea and breakfast and off I went in the shuttle again! At least the room at BW has a fridge and microwave so I can cook what I have to. There are no plates but I managed to get some paper ones from reception.

So time to shower and then have tea!!
