Day 6 Shopping and Bar

Today we had a leisurely breakfast before heading off to the Orlando Premium Outlets shopping mall. You have to be quite selective here because not all the shops are factory outlets. We came away with some great deals, including  2 pairs of converse each. I have been after a replacement for the leather jacket i bought here 10 years ago, so found a new one in the same shop. A leather jacket for $40! Matt decided he wanted one too and his was only $30. A bargain if it lasts me another 10 years. We also went into Gap for jeans/shorts. A proper spending spree, such fun. We went to Cicis pizza buffet on the way home, and we had a voucher, so all you can eat/drink for 2 ended up being $12!

We had a lazy afternoon, then got ready to go out for the night. Our friend from school picked us up and drove us to his villa (huge!) Where a local taxi driver called Nancy collected us. She is an absolute nutter! After driving all over the road while texting, she cut up another car, who phoned to complain. She was on speaker phone, lying about being run off the road, then she started to swear a lot after Nancy told her she should be ashamed of giving the finger in front of her kids. We stopped at traffic light and nancy was out of the car trying to start a fight. All i could think about was how many people carry guns in America! Still we made it in one piece, just about!

The bar we went to is on International Drive, called Howl at the Moon. Look it up on you tube, its awesome. Its a duelling piano bar where 5 singers/musicians play requests. If you tip them you are far more likely to get your song played. You can tip for messages to go up on the mirror behind the pianos too, so we put up some rude ones about our friends back in Germany! They must make so much money in tips. The mirror message got up to $40 for one message which was a proposal! People put birthday messages and phone numbers and all sorts. The singers were great, and all qble to play the piano, drums and guitar. Even some of the bar staff sang songs. We danced and shared a gugantic bucket of cocktails and had a generally great night.

Nancy picked us up at 1am and we went home via the biggest Mcdonalds in the world.
