BIKE SANIBEL TO GOURMET DELI

The bike ride to Sanibel Island bridge from Gulf Water RV Resort is about 5 miles. The new bridge is finally completed and there is a wide bike lane on the bridge making the 3 mile bridge crossing quite safe. As we cross, we have more time to see the birds, boaters, folks fishing and bathing and the distant sights are wonderful.

The inland waters are very calm this morning and the brilliance of sun and sky are reflected in the water. It is hard to believe we are nearing Christmas with temperatures in the low 80s.

One of the high points on the bridge with the shore of Sanibel behind Walter.

Once we are on the island, this is typical of the bike paths. All the bike paths are off the road with interesting vegetation along the route.

This gourmet deli was a find. We had a Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich and Key Lime Pie and oh so tasty. Below is the case filled with desserts.

Jerry's shopping center and grocery/restaurant is a jungle of vegetation with Parrots and Macaws that talk to folks and whistle at the ladies. Walking around this small outdoor shopping plaza, you are in a virtual jungle.
Jerry's also has great pastry. We had a final snack before we completed our 22 -mile day trip. I think Walter was quite enjoying his treat!
