Beginning of the End!

So today was our last day in North Myrtle Beach and to be honest it was just too hot for us. We did our 5k walk at 7.00am before breakfast and were still dripping with sweat by the time we got back. We took the car (tank) and decided to drive to Georgetown to have a look round, but on discovering how far it was and how hot it was we abandoned and just drove through Myrtle Beach which, as anticipated, is the blousy, tatty version of North Myrtle Beach - dodgems, tat shops etc etc. Fun to see, but glad we weren't staying there - bigger, louder and busier.

We spent most of the day either in the water or in the shade. When we went in for our final swim we were privileged to have the local pelicans fishing all round us. One flew inches above the water just a few feet from Chris and then did a vertical dive into the water about 20 yards from where I was watching - fantastic!!!!  The Mechanic finished padding the bikes for the flight home while I did wifely stuff like laundry and apartment cleaning :(

Last night requires a big night out (Mechanic please note - not a pizza from the supermarket). However  the choice we faced was just too much:

Hot Diggity's Diner

'Stop in the name of love' - at Fuddruckers'

National House of Pancakes

Sir Pizza (bet you didn't notice that in the Queen's birthday honours list)

'Lights, Camera, LA Lasagna'

Nacho Hippo

Crabby Mike's

Boardwalk Billy's - a Shuckin' good time

Bummz

Crab Daddy's Seafood

We ate our supermarket pizza...........
