We were out and about today. First off we drove down to the petrol station to fill up. This cost me $22 for 10 gallons exactly.

That&#39;s like 17p a litre!

Which by my calculations works out at £0.17 per litre in UK speak. I think we're paying £1.10 at the moment!

We then headed north to Clearwater as you can see below...

We were heading to the Aquarium there.

The place is quite small so it didn't take us too long to get around it all. However, there was two boat trips as part of our ticket. The first was a small trip across the bay, the second was a longer 90 minute trip out into the bay proper with some science thrown in too. The crew carry out a 3 minute drag of the bottom with a net and measure and count the catch, plus they show them about the boat before throwing them back. First attempt came up empty, the second picked up a few fish.

Once back off the boat, we headed back home and stopped off at a local pizza place which we'd not been to before. Firs and Stone. It was very popular. We got take-out and sat and watched the sunset on our balcony instead.
