The past three weeks has been spent chasing the sun in Florida!
We started in Orlando, the town that was left in the 90's.. its a run down, odd sort of place. I guess just a stepping stone for the theme parks. We contented ourselves with Gator Golf and Frozen yogurt.
Then a week at Clearwater beach.. managed to bag an apartment for a week, bags were unpacked and stuff went everywhere! Lovely beach, lovely sunshine, even managed to fit in a cheeky 15 mile walk along the Peninsula. An enjoyable relaxed week spent with the Blue Rinse Brigade..
From Clearwater to Miami.. The hostel was grim, tiny room that came with strange spanish lady who followed us round with disinfectant.. (things have not got that bad yet fyi!) Miami is a weird and wonderful place, it seems to be quite literally anything goes and noone bats an eyelid. I probably walked round with my jaw on the floor half the time because of some of the sights you see! We filled our time with mainly mojitos, beach and more mojitos. Had a cheeky jaunt to Millionaires row and the Everglades. The Everglades was a brilliant day, went on an airboat and saw Alligators in the wild, tame Alligators for displays, held a baby Alligator called Snappy then ate one. Unbelievable experience!! Sad to leave Miami and its bizzare ways!
Finally ending our time in Florida just out of Fort Lauderdale in Florida's Hollywood. White Sand beaches and above 30°c temperatures are just what we need before a week at Mardi Gras.
Anticipating Carnage...
