St Pete Beach

We had Sunday and Monday at Rumfish Resort on St Pete Beach following the AWS Conference and flew home from Tampa on Tuesday evening. 

We spent the time reading in the hotel gardens or by the pool and walking along the white sand beach, once all the way to Pass-a-Grille at the southern end of the island. 

The history museum was closed and we had lunch and a bottle of Clifford Bay Marlborough SB at on the first floor balcony over looking the ocean at The Brass Monkey.

A short walk from Rumfish is this ice-cream shop.

The sunsets seen from St Pete Beach were gorgeous.

Joan ate at Rumfish Grill while I was at the Conference. The rear wall of the restuarant has a huge 33,500 gallon fish tank.

Building of the tank was the subject of US television show TANKED and Joan was keen that our last lunch before driving to the airport be in the Rumfish Grill. But that closed at 14:00 so we had to eat in the adjoining bar.

I thought I'd have one last burger and chose what I thought was a healthier option of sweet potato fries.

And they were sweet because they'd been liberally coated with sugar! Too sweet and too calorific for me to eat.

This misspelled sign was in reception. 

We got the car back to Hertz at the airport with the empty tank warning displayed.
