Supposedly a less-than-two-hour driving.
However, due to the incident (we guessed probably the fire nearby the highway, very smoky), we spent over 3 hrs on the highway.
When we arrived at the St. Augustine, It was already time for dinner.
We went to the Columbia restaurant. http://www.columbiarestaurant.com/
- paella
- Spanish bean soup
- a kind of pulled beef
I remember that I was impressed at the restaurant and the whole restaurant is special
But this time I felt it is just another American chain restaurant.
Good part: The St. Augustine downtown is still pretty and interesting.
Next morning, we went to the a cheap but delicious Spanish Deli
The tasting room to go http://www.tastetapastogo.com/
- Empanada (We ordered ham and cheese but I felt too much meat >_< but it's tasty)
- Fresh bread with roasted garlic hummus
- blackberry panna cotta
- Cafe con Leche (Spanish default , something similar to Latte)
> To Premium outlet on International Dr.
Nice. Lots of stores.
We found the Chicken Now in food court is so good. Chick tenders are juicy.
> To Disney all-star Movies resort and Animal Kingdom
Safari is alright.
The most interesting show is the flights of wonders. Pretty cool.
We ate our lunch the booth. Cheap. Just OK. Parade is fun. But We are more amazed at the efficiency they clean up after the passing of parade.
> To Fantasia mini golf and downtown Disney
It was fun and I won.
Full of expansive food in Disney downtown. We went to Pollo campero instead.
- The Campero beans are delicious.
- free salsa bar.
- Fried Yuca fries!
> To Dali Museum
On the way to Dali museum, we stopped by at the La Teresita (Cuban restaurant). I planned to go to the restaurant but we ended up in the cafeteria instead. When I first entered the cafeteria, I feel all the eyes landing upon me.
We tried several dishes. http://www.lateresitarestaurant.com/en/index.php
- Oxtail in the sauce (very delicious. The meat is so tender and soaked)
- Codfish in sauce ... Orz....
- Roasted pork ... Orz...
- Yuca ... ok
- Spanish bean soup and black bean soup
- Chicken soup
- Fried ripe plantain.
> To St. Petersburg Beach
We stayed at the Tradewinds grand resort. 4* I got it from priceline but there is a hidden amenity fee made me unhappy.
But the beach is nice. It's great that our resort has Sauna that Russians like.
Dinner is at St. Petersburg Nights (Russian Restaurant)
- beef stew. Nice~
- small dumplings (filling is cottage cheese or potato) sour cream is the sauce.
- special chicken wrap (similar to pork cordon bleu according to my friend). Delicious
> To Clearwater Beach and Premium outlet on Vinelane Ave. ==> MCO
Full of people. But the beach really look whiter and smoother.
heading back to another premium outlet on Vinelane Ave.
Higher class.
Prefill will be stupid if the tank is full when returning the car because it means that you need to pay for a whole tank.
