Tampa

Laura enjoying a fresh cream eclair. We seriously cannot walk past a bakery without popping in, they have sooo much to choose from.

We decided to get the tram which only cost a few dollars, and travelled across town to a place called Ybor, which you pronounce similar to Eeyore.

Which we both really liked. Was full of cafes, bars, amazing little boutiques and thrift shops that we always end up buying things from. Usually I walk out with a dress and Laura with some funny postcard, and Tampa was no different.

On the slabs there were loads of different inscriptions, where people could have dedications inscribed, like messages of love if someone has passed away. Now this is probably aimed at someone whose nickname is Sugar, but we thought it pretty much summed up how I feel about actual sugar. 

We also went to the Aquarium and saw this chap. Look at his little face! We could stroke the stingrays as long as we didn't touch the danger zone, a young girl about six kept stroking the danger zone she was gonna get steve Irwined, as responsible citizens we left her to it and walked off laughing.

We got to see lots of turtles, sharks and even penguins!!

We saw a bowling alley so decided to see how the Americans bowl. It was extremely posh in comparison to back home theres a proper bar and proper food and waitresses and the whole set up is much more respectable to say the least! We were somehow placed in the middle of some sort of private party, and people had to keep walking past our lane to get to the spread of food that was next to us. Looked pretty tasty too, we were toying with the idea of robbing some but decided not to. As you can see Laura won, which she was very pleased about, but annoyed cause I'm not competitive at all so it annoys her when I congratulate her :)
