Perhaps I should include some photos of the Pelikans at this stage. They were fun to watch diving for their food and provided much amusement when a fishing charter came back to port at the Fisherman's Village full of fish.
The Pelikan is diving into the live bait bucket on the charter vessel and finds a good catch.
There were so many fish for the charter captain to fillet that he had another fellow help him for the most part. They were filleting for hours with these electric knives. Very efficient! The egrets were also trying to get a stray fish, though their best efforts were thwarted.
One of our favorite restaurants in Punta Gorda turned out to be the River City Grill http://www.rivercitygrillpg.com/
The food was fantastic, the service without equal and we were made to feel as if we were welcome family. We dined there three times! I favored the Seafood, of course, and Warren the Steaks.
This was one of the busiest restaurants we have ever dined in. Not only that, the average age of the patrons seemed to be in their 80's. No kidding! This was the end of the 'Snowbird' season and they were there with their oxygen bottles and all.
Another Punta Gorda special meal was the Irish Pub where we had amazing fish and Chips. Thank goodness we arrived at 4.30pm, because you couldnt get a table for love or money much after that.
Everywhere we went we initiated the Bar Staff into the delights of Lemon, Lime and Bitters. For the most part they got it spot-on:)
