Sunday 12 March 2023

view from a hotel window

Sunday before the conference; time to explore, and get acclimatised to the four hour time difference (it was five hours when we arrived yesterday, but luckily local daylight savings happened overnight).

First, the out of the window view:

I clearly don't have a fancy room: some of those rooms have balconies!

Then off for an explore.  Google maps suggests the route to the conference may be walkable (in time terms), but the route crosses a freeway: is it actually walkable?
Entrance to the University of North Florida

A different view near the entrance

Yes, it's walkable.  It took me about 30 minutes to get to the entrance: there was a sidewalk all the way, and pedestrian crossing lights on the bigger junctions such as the freeway sliproads.  It would have been about another 15 minutes to walk to the conference site across the campus, but as I was going straight back for lunch, rather than spending time sitting, resting, in a conference, I decided that was enough exploring for today!
