The two RV Gypsies and Karen Duquette's sister, Ilse Blahak, walked around the grounds near the aquarium. They liked the lighthouse but did not know how to get closer to it. Below: The Queen Mary

Most restaurants in this area were closed until the evening so they decided to eat at Bubba Grump's.

However, after being seated, they discovered that the air conditioner was broken and it was really hot inside, so they left without eating.
