Day 9: Thursday 1 November 2018

This is a "business and pleasure" trip to Florida and the business bit is of course looking after the villa and getting it as we would like.

When we bought it, it was good enough as it was and it rents out well, but we felt that some things could do with updating.

One of our first projects has been to look at one of the two smaller twin-bedded rooms ....

'Before' is on the right and 'after' is on the left.  All we need now is a red cushion for the top of the bed to complete our red, white and blue theme
The 'pleasure' part of Thursday was a visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom ....





Apologies that there are so many photos of these birds, but their plumage is just so colourful ....












Fake Tree!  Photo spot!


Shy kangaroo with vulture

There are actually a number of words for a group of flamingos. Most people would, of course, use flock. Flamboyance seems to be the second most common choice. Other terms include pat, stand, regiment, and colony. I think this looks like "a cuddle of flamingos"


It's hard to know if some of these birds are fully paid up members of Animal Kingdom or just local birds dropping by!


Keeper looks cheesed off!


Hakuna Matata




Fake waterfall!



Bit of showboating here, methinks!




The start of the ride that Catherine goes on later












Reminiscent of the one at Alton Towers
