Day 8
Friday 24th October

Sadly home for us today. Only a 7 day trip – we weren’t supposed to be going at all due to moving house.

Breakfast

I headed to the bayliner food court to fill up the refill mugs. We never actually ate here but what I saw of the food looked nice.

We wanted a lighter breakfast today so shared some dunkin donuts we had picked up the night before from the dunkin donuts at Dr Phillips.

$6


I did notice they sold donuts at the foodcourt for $1.50 each but not as fancy as the dunkin ones.

We had a last swim and used the refill mugs. I discovered the pool bars had normal soda refill machines as well as the ones in the food court (not the freestyle ones though)
I’d also asked for a slighter later checkout until 12 noon which was fine.

Lunch
Teak Neighbourhood Grill

Dh’s choice. We had planned on eating up at Sanford but he wanted to return.
We ate on the patio again.


DD had the kids alfredo pasta and soda which was ok. It was a huge portion but she preferred the burger.


I had the bolder betty burger with saute potatoes. The burger was lovely – provolone cheese, smoked bacon mayonnaise, tomato, avocado slaw, tortilla strips and guava bbq sauce on a brioche bun. $11

All the sides we tried were really nice too and a change from the usual fries.


DH had the heart of teak. We couldn’t see this on the menu but had seen it online and asked and it was no problem. It is half the ‘teak challenge’ – cost $20. 1 lb of Burgers with swiss and provolone cheese, bacon, onion rings, deep fried mozzarella, chilli, jalapenos and salad. DH had it with garlic fries

This was a monster – DH managed most of it but had to leave some bread and cheese. There is no way DH could have got near the teak challenge which is 2 of these.
(DH is 6ft 4 and able to put away food!!)
They have a wall of fame with 3 that have managed the challenge and a wall of shame with lots of people who have failed looking peeky. If you eat the $40 challenge you get it free.
DH was glad he tried it and the pics have caused a lot of amusement but he actually preferred the more manageable burger.
We both just had soda to drink.
Total $57 inc tip

Snacks

As we flew premium with Thomson we got the palm lounge at Sanford included. They had soft drinks, coffee and biscuits plus 2 beers or wine per person. There was also wifi.

Dinner
Plane

Choice was beef or chicken. Food was ok but not as good as way out imo. Breakfast was a cooked breakfast but I couldn’t face it. As we were premium alcohol and drinks were also included.

Total $63
