Day 5 continued...
Where mistakes were made 🥴
So we made it to Margaritaville which is where the ferry leaves from.
We were a little early so decided to have a quick cocktail on the sunset deck
These were actually rubbish pina coladas but we still drank them obvs. DS had a rubbish virgin daiquiri too. I’m not sure the bartender knew what he was doing?
Despite the hopeless cocktails, it’s a great place to watch the sunset
I thought I’d taken pics of the ferry journey on my phone but I didn’t so here’s the back of the camera! (I’m doing this in the car to take my attention away from the horror of undertaking cars)
It’s a really pretty restaurant and the food was really good.
I don’t seem to be able to upload any pictures at the mo so I’ll add more when we arrive
OH and I made mistake number 2 here...
Whilst delicious, a key lime margarita is really a dessert.
I felt mildly Sick after this!
The rim had a salty graham cracker crust
There was some bread which I didn’t eat. I think DS inhaled it
For starters we had
OH
beetroot, ricotta, almond and something else 🤔
Sorry to be vague
Me
Crab and lobster cake with a spicy mirin slaw
DS
Fried green tomatoes with burrata
These were all really fresh and delicious. The lobster was really tender.
We all agreed the beets were the best though.
Mistake 3 happened when OH ordered a bottle of Albariño
For mains I had
Lobster with a red curry sauce, sweet potato risotto and greens.
The sweet potato risotto wasn’t my favourite but the rest was lovely.
OH had
Scallops with corn and polenta purée with some veg accompaniments
He loved this. We heard someone on a neighbouring table complaining that the scallops were gritty but we’re fairly sure that would
have been the polenta
DS had wagyu beef with mash I guess and asparagus.
He loved this.
I was sure I’d taken a menu pic but again, clearly not!
We paid up and caught the ferry back to the Margaritaville and decided to hit Duval Street 🤦🏼
We popped into Kilwins for some chocolates, a caramel and walnut Krispie treat and a caramel apple.
These weren’t eaten until the next afternoon.
Next it was Willie T’s
We were drawn in by the live music
That’s a lot of dollars pinned up. Surely people try and take them?
Way too many pina coladas were consumed. OH also got involved in group shots of Santa’s Balls! I declined and I’m so glad I did 🥴
We wandered back when DS decided he was ready! OH suddenly suffered from FOMO but I dragged him away!
According to my phone he may have stroked some sleeping chickens on the way home and I definitely recall him giggling at the ladies of the night 😬🙈
It was a very full and exciting day and we definitely paid for it in the morning 🥴
