    We had to vacate the condo on the morning of the 1st. Did a bit of shopping in Clearwater and then went to the beach on the bed chairs under the brollies on Key Sands until mid afternoon.
    Had drinkies at the Marriott hotel opposite before driving to Tampa to check into the Intercontinental Hotel for our last night in Florida.

    On our last day we took a trip to Tarpon Springs which is very Greek. It is a big Sponge diving area. Did the Greek thing and had moussaka for lunch before heading back to Tampa for our 7pm overnight flight back it the UK.
