So we decided to make the most of the now sunny again weather and headed down to the pool area after visiting the on site cafe to allow Karen to get a free coffee. For most of the time we were the only ones around it. We swam and went in the Jacuzzi a couple of times all whilst enjoying the sounds of the piped radio. I forgot my reading glasses so was only able to squint at my Kindle for a while.
After this we wandered up to the Zane Grey Bar which had a bar overlooking the marina. It was Happy Hour (just) so Karen & Neil had Draft Bud Lite ($2 each), whilst I settled for water but with a ½lb of Happy Hour Shrimp. They were covered in Old Bay Seasoning and were delicious. Given we were overlooking the marina where the catch was probably landed, they certainly tasted fresh.
The pelicans here are a nuisance and are adept at stealing the fish from the buckets. One other visitor was fed up with this and having fun with a hose used for cleaning the boats by spraying them whenever they came within range.
As part of the shacks set up around Robbies there are a number of stalls that we wandered around afterwards. This included one that has the ring hook game, so Neil and I played that for a few minutes without success.
A quick shower back at the apartment and we were on the way out again to Lorelei restaurant in Islamorada for a meal and to watch the sunset. This had been one of Karen's requests for this trip as we had never eaten whilst watching the sun go down in the Keys. The place was busy and humming. A singer was playing Florida type music. I had their 'famous' fish sandwich (mahi mahi) which was blackened and fab. Karen had the Fish Taco's whilst Neil went for a Prime Rib wrap.
Whilst we were sitting there the clouds however covered the sunset, but when we just walking around the water edge, the sun made a sudden red appearance just as it started to disappear over the horizon. A lovely end to another lovely day.
