I woke up pretty early this morning by some sun outside that was shining against my face. Artin was not awake yet but I anyway decided to take a walk outside to find us some food.

I left the hotel in order to find a grocery, I saw one a few meter away. I brought us sandwiches, one bottle apple juice and some fruit. It cost me 9.87 dollars. Later while I got back I woke him up and we ate together and discussed about the road to Jacksonville.

We packed and left the hotel to continue our journey. We were charged for a long trip! Artin started to drive because I did it yesterday.

We were driving for hours, sometimes we stopped for toilet visits and to buy something to eat.

After few hours driving time, we were bored of just sitting in the car so I was thinking of a place to visit. Artin was still driving and was busy in finding the way so I had to figured out a place. After a few minutes I knew it! We would visit, Ocean Club in Jacksonville, Florida. A place with several bars and a live music area and musical acts regularly perform.

I looked for some more information about the place on my phone and found out that today 9.00 pm, 50 cent would have a performance!? I told Artin what I just read and he didn't believed it and said, 50 cent in Ocean Club? Today?, no way. I knew it was true and also that the tickets would not be easy to get, but I would do anything to get them.

We drove straight there with expectations that there were any tickets left. We were pretty close to Jacksonville and very worried that the tickets would be sold out.

Right in time we arrived, small queue and there was only 2 tickets left when talked with the reception. So yeah, we were in luck  Not only that, the tickets cost us 135 dollars each. I think we will need to gamble to get all that money back..

After seeing 50 cent singing and hearing a lot of screams and cheers our ears was tired from all music so we had to find a hotel to stay on, over the night. I mentioned Jacksonville Plaza Hotel & Suites. Artin agreed. A fairly price for only one night. 72,85 dollars, not that bad.

Now we are here in the hotel completely exhausted and are going to bed at anytime. Well, I have nothing more to say about this day except, just awesome, see you soon guys.

We finally arrived in Orlando after 4 hours driving and decided to visit " Discovery Cove" in Orlando.

Here is one of the dolphins we played with in Discovery Cove. We bought the photo from a guy that took pictures around the place. We were not allowed to take pictures there so we bought the picture instead. We paid only 2 dollars for it, it wasn't that bad. We stayed here a couple of hours until we got exhausted. We left the place with no excuses except that we
were really disappointed because of the weather, we thought it would be hot in Orlando but it was just 51°F. But that didn't keep us back from staying in the water and enjoying the place.

After a few hours travel around nighttime we decided to stay over at any hotel that were nearby. We took the cheapest hotel because, we have plenty things left to do, that costs a lot of money. So we didn't want to spent it all.

The hotel we checked in on was called Embassy Suites. It was perhaps not the best hotel but it was just what we needed, a place to sleep at. Our room was simple, two beds with a small tv, a toilet for bath and wash and 2 cabinets for clothes. It's really late now and we are going to bed, we will be writing later when we have time, see you soon.
