Sunday 31st May "Shop till we drop........."

Lel had a bad night last night, being sick, not sleeping. Not good really. Not sure if it was something she ate or too much sun. I would suspect the latter.
We had planned  for all of us to visit the outlets today, but Lel and Pat decided against that obviously, so Sandra and I jumped in the van and eventually found the outlets.
It was soooooooooo hot! The temp was forecast at 109 degrees, it felt it as well. It was a relief to go into shops for a cool down as they all have aircon!
Sarnie stocked up on some gym gear, flip flops etc, me?, I carried the bags!
We grabbed some lunch, Chinese, it is really tasty in these food courts and very reasonable.
We carried on shopping, one guy asked if we were either Australian (usual) or Canadian (never had that one before). When we said English he said " give my regards to the Queen". Only problem was that each time we walked past him he kept saying it. Eventually to shut him up as we walked past him for about the 4th time I said " the Queen sends her love!" He looked at me opened mouthed and on we went.
Got back to the hotel about 4ish, checked in on Lel, she still wasn't great but said she would be out later even if she didn't eat.
We met about 7.30' attempted to go to the buffet in the hotel, mobbed, and you can't book! Other restaurants weren't suitable, so we decided to go and get the van and eat out. AsI was going back to the room I looked into a restaurant in the corner and the line was really short, so that's where we went.
After a 15 min wait to be seated, in we went. It was really nice, food looked good, service was good, so we ordered. Sarnie had lamb chops, I had steak and eggs, Pat had meatloaf and Lel tried the omelette.
It was delicious! Whilst we were eating Elvis and a showgirl came in to eat. It was a couple that had just got married, he was in full Elvis jump suit, complete with wig, she was wearing a feathered headdress and costume a la Moulin Rouge! Great fun.
As it was still really hot, temp in the high 90's at 10.30 pm we decided to stay and have a little flutter on the slots.
Some 3 hours later and some $20 lighter off we went to bed. Lel had gone up earlier, hope she'll be ok for the trip tomorrow.
