Picked Up The Bikes & A Mustang

Today we went in Martin's hire car to collect Sandra & Graeme's hire car. They got a very smart Mustang convertible in black. very nice! Then we headed over to Eagle Riders in Orlando to meet Nigel, Des & Pat and picked up our bikes.
They are both Harley Davison Electraglides with 900miles on the clock. Both gleaming and almost a match for the two lads faces! They were beaming from ear to ear!
Martin, Rachel, Sandra and Graeme headed back towards the hotel in the Mustang and the two bikes went for a practice run. We headed off towards International drive and I have to say that the bikes were fab. They are sooo comfortable and with no jackets on it was nice to have the breeze.
We went to Cycle Gear where the assistant (Mitch) helped us choose our helmets. Nigel of course will keep reminding me that mine was $80 and his was only $40!
Then we had a lovely lunch and made our way to the Boot shop. Unfortunately they were $300 a pair so we left.
Back at the hotel we decided to have a swim. After 15 mins of trying to get into the icy water we finally made it in and had a rather refreshing swim! It was nice to relax.
After that we went to Walmart and had a mooch around in there. We tried to buy Graeme a new set of wheels in the shape of a wheelchair but it must be the only thing Walmart Don't sell!
The day was topped off with a lovely tea in the Mexican restaurant next door and fell home for bed!
