23rd Oct - Friday
Im not gonna lie to you, I'm pretty traumatised right now. Not quite sure what went on today.
1) A man by the pool was shocked that I was not from Florida!
So am I sooo fat and American sounding now? Do I just blend in? So many questions which are slightly concerning! I went back to my hotel from and did stomach crunches.
2) I got left in the middle of Kissimmee by a taxi firm as they very 'foreign - mexican'. and obviously do not understand English!
So after sunbathing most of the day, going in and out as the sun hot,watching abit of Tyra and Friends. Spoke to mum and dad, they back from Namibia and chatted by the pool on my laptop on skype. I booked a ghost tour in Kissimmee. from a leaflet. Got hotel to sort me a taxi after i rang the company they said and they didn't understand me, (i shoulda got the hint of what was to come from that! )So i went on this ghost tour and the first problem was i couldn't find (nor the taxi driver )the 'welcome centre'. I had to ring up the number i rang earlier..luckily it was the office number where we were to meet . challenge aneka styled it down the road, over the road and round the corner. There was a group of 5 girls on a 'girls night out' they lived in orlando also on the tour - lovely girlies! Had fun!! ;o) So the tour waddled us around the streets, railway station, library, lake, power building, courthouse, park, church....tales were told!! Went past the haunted house (like the dallas one!) Was freaked out in the park, where it was next to a funeral parlor, coz of 6yr old girl story on the swings....got freaked.
As tour ended I didn't have any tip money left and I was the only one left with her, she took me to ATM, then i tired to get change in a bar...then i said f*** it I give u $20 u give me what u have in change as she helped me out alot......she took it and literally ran off!!! Nice.
I rang my taxi 15min previously and I said civic centre at 11, she said no...11.15...i went ok. 11.15 came and he no there, had a msg on my mobile from taxi man wondering where i was...i called him back he didn't reply, rang actual taxi company again they didn't answer...about 20 times each i tried them. b******s! I stood around getting abit freaked out on my own....Rang hotel and asked for more taxi numbers as my mobile low on battery (as usual!)..... taxi man came 20min later. He basically perved at me the entire 10min journey (seemed like half hour!) and tried to get me to go to downtown orlando with him drinking. He was Mexican, his English okish, but kept saying 'u are beautiful. Argh! Shame he was a munter and I've seen better sh*t on my shoes!! Help! Had to say firmly no thanks....got him to drop me off at coke machine...away from my bedroom, but next to reception. So yeah, I'm slighty bewildered to what happened tonight! Hit on by Mexican, ghost tour, evil taxi men, money thing...yeah interesting! Adventure I guess...
It's now Saturday/Sunday morning, where Saturday I got hooked to 'TBS' tv channel - they had movies on all day! ;o) Me being amovie fan and the way they start a movie while the other is still ending on the same TV screen...I couldn't get away! 2 Sandra Bullock films later, it was time to sort my shizzle as I'm back on the road again tomorrow! Back in those comfy tents! doh!!! Took ages to get on the internet today, the wireless is so crap at this hotel. I was wondering around the carpark trying to get a good signal and waving my laptop in the air (look! everyone rob me I have a laptop!! look its here and over here!) Ended up being molested by a random black cat rubbing up against me, followed by a racoon running near me then 10 black dudes from the ghetto came in teh carpark with blairing their music and chilling out!!! This was the moment I thought 'f*ck this!' akk I wanted to do was check me email!! Went sharpish to my room, double bolted it and a chair in front of the door! I'm fine! Honest!!!
