Let’s conquer the parks again - part 2

We rested for a while and then decided to walk down and take a dip in Stormalong Bay. 

We were not sure if we would find deck chairs, but to our huge surprise there were several open and we just lounged for a while, before getting into the lazy river and the hot tub. 

After about an hour and a half we had had enough sun and walked back to our room, took showers and got ready to head over to Epcot to enjoy a little Food and Wine time. 

It didn’t take us long and we were walking through the International Gateway into the park. 

The last time we had moved towards England, but this time we walked the other direction towards France. 

We looked at the menu and some items looked good, so we ordered the 

Warm Goat Cheese Pudding with Spinach and the 

Crème Brûlée with Housemade Rasberry Jam, found a spot where we could put down our food and tried them both. The Goat Cheese Pudding was very nice and creamy, but very rich and the Crème Brulee was just that, a Crème Brulee. Nothing to write home about but worth finishing it off. 

We walked on, but didn’t get far as we decided to stop at the Belgium booth and get some goodies there as well. I had my heart set on the 

Belgian Waffle with Warm Chocolate Ganache and Whipped Cream and Tom had a 

Leffe Blonde Belgian Pale Ale. The waffle was good, but the heat let the whipped cream melt in record time and softened the waffle, so I had to hurry to finish it off. Tom enjoyed his beer none the less. 

Funnily enough, even if the portions were small, I started to get full pretty fast and coughing like a mad woman didn’t help my appetite either. We strolled further on, 

checking menus, but we both didn’t seem to have much of an appetite, so we just checked the menus and talked about what we wanted to try when we were hungrier. 

Once we had made it to Italy we decided on sharing another item, the 

Crispy Calamari with Spicy Pomodoro Sauce, which were a good size helping, crisp and fresh and the sauce added a nice kick to it. We really enjoyed the food, but what we didn’t enjoy were the clouds rolling in. So instead of trying to sample some more food, we walked towards the International Gateway again and made it back to our resort just in time for the heavens to open up. 

It was now early evening and we just watched a little TV and the approaching Hurricane Irma caught our eye.

Our flight home was on the coming Saturday and it hit us that this could be a serious threat if it followed the proposed path and kept up its speed. But it was soon forgotten again and by 8pm we were both tired and could not be bothered to venture out again, so we called room service and ordered 

The Works Pizza - just as it sounds- a little bit of everything. 

It was delivered about 25 minutes after we had ordered it and it was super yummy. 

Not the pizza we are used to here in Europe, but a great tasting US pizza. We got comfortable on our beds, munching our pizza and watched TV, then packed up our stuff to have it moved to the Beach Club the next day and enjoyed the rest of the evening until we fell asleep.
