| | We have discovered a beautiful historic district full of very nice shops and restaurants in Lake Wales. Its only an hour's drive from Kissimee and still has a great 'small-town' atmosphere that we love, not like some commercialized area. It's as nice as any we have seen around the state. There is even a local downtown newsletter that lists all the activities and shops, etc. They have a website at historiclakewales.com that has lots of info too. There are art galleries, card and gift shops, antique stores, and several very nice restaurants, a couple with lounges. The architecture is very nice, mostly from the Florida boom years of about 100 years ago. |

| | If you have the time, why not drive up to Homosassa Springs and the see the 'real Florida' and visit the manatees in the wild. A fantastic place. |

| | We know a lot of non tourist places to visit as we are not theme park type people really (no kids) and as we normally fly in and out of Fort Myers we get to see a lot of these small towns. Pre villa we holidayed on the gulf coast most of the time and only drove up to Orlando for a few days here and there, (Favourite resturants have to be visited). |

| Hi, we actually get customers from other areas regularly, people do not know we are English (maybe we should have an alternative English menu, Roast Beef on Sundays) and we do keep on putting English on as specials.
