2nd Leg to Sanibel
31/03/2025
Moving on we completed the 2nd leg of our trip to Sanibel. We did go via Cape Coral just in case there were more burrowing owls. I know, I am obsessed, but we did see another couple. I really needed a longer lens!
Arriving at Sanibel we had a bit of a shock, there is a new bridge as the old one was destroyed by the hurricane. The new one is absolutely huge! We set out to find our favourite ice cream shop and guess what, it is still there. Just had to try one. Crowded as always.
We found our hotel but were two hours early but the nice people checked us in. We have a lovely room looking over the beach and out to see (see picture).
It is lovely to be back and a long walk along the beach was called for. The sand is so soft. In about 10 years when all the shells have broken down it may well be as soft as the beach at Siesta Kay, which is like cornflour.
After dinner we went to the beach again to see the sunset but unfortunately it goes down inland and hardly any clouds so not very impressive. We will go again the the morning, the sub rises at 7.45!
