Day 2 - 29 August 2016 - Taco Bell, Shopping & Universal

Waking up on the first morning to the sound of two hungry teenagers is not a good start to the day, or holiday for that matter.  It was late when we arrived (uk time) and we were in no mood to go out again and get essential supplies. So the first priority was food and water which meant venturing out from our luxury accommodation, braving the road system and driving on the wrong side of the road.

Following the problems with navigation on our arrival we downloaded the maps for southern north America for TomTom (other satellite navigations systems are available) and updated the "home" location for our new base, at least we will be able to get back easily!!

It was decided (by said teenagers) that "Ihop" was the place to get breakfast from, so off we set in search of one.  Suffice it to say that after some driving around, and having spotted Ihop's on the other side of the highway (road), hunger levels were going through the roof so we pulled off the main highway (road) into a shopping complex in the hope of finding something.  The first place being a Taco Bell which ticked the boxes and in we went.

It did hit the mark, although Trudy was not keen on her iced tea without ice (would much rather have preferred it hot with milk)!

Suitably refuelled next stop was grocery shopping and as luck would have it we were right next to a huge Walmart store.  Supplies were gathered and we headed home using sat nav, with a car boot full of plastic bags of groceries (no charge for the bags!!!).

After a few hours in the pool we decided to have a drive down International drive.  International drive sounds grander than it is and doesn't seem to be a straight road, or at least not the way Simon drives down it.  Anyway we finished up near to Universal studios and decided to go to City walk at Universal.
