Bryan went to the doctor yesterday to see about getting his regular prescriptions and try and sort out his ears, which he is still having problems with. The doctor told him that it looks like allergies and gave him a nasal spray and more tablets. She did tell him that they were not infected so it was not dangerous to fly but would be uncomfortable!!! Hopefully the medication will clear it before we fly to San Diego next month.
We had to go to Macdill AFB again to get the prescriptions filled. Although it is a nice base, it is a pain to get to as there are roadworks and the roads are not that good. Tampa seems to have a lot of roadworks going on in a lot of directions and the main roads really get backed up.
We walked around and did a little shopping and then I suggested we went and checked out the beach by the campground there. It was a nice quiet beach with lovely white sand.
| The birds were all sitting "sunbathing" :) It was strange how the different colors stayed together. The brown birds at the back in the picture and the gray/black in the front |
Andy's match was about to start and so we went into a restaurant that had terraces overlooking the beach and ocean.
| He was waiting for lunch but was unlucky!!! |
While we were waiting for lunch I was following Andy's match on my phone. I tried to get a
livestream but the internet wasn't good enough for that or livescores. However, it was wonderful to be able to follow along on the Andy Murray Fan Forum, while listening to the ocean hitting the sand. It was bliss.
We ate lunch, it was yummy and the view wonderful.
It wouldn't be bad to stay here in the motorhome. I could get used to eating here!!! Unfortunately, the campground is fully booked through to the winter of 2015!!! If we wanted to stay here then, we would need to put a deposit of $100 down now. Think we will pass as don't think we will be on this coast in Winter 2015/2016. The end of this year might have been a different matter!!
We collected the prescriptions and headed home. On the way dark clouds rolled in and it poured with rain and we had thunder. What a difference from an hour or two earlier.
What I thought was going to be a boring day turned out to be a wonderful day, well apart from the rainstorm!!
