Key West

Key West was stunning! We were so disappointed that we couldn't spend more time there and didn't get to lounge around on the beach and go for a swim. We arrived (after a LONG drive) on Saturday evening and then we only had Sunday to tour around a bit before heading to Miami. Stupid - we know now! Next time we will definitely make time to just relax and soak up the sun:)

What a lovely picture:) Key West is just like you would imagine an island paradise to be.

We only had a short time to stroll along the beach and feel the water - it was so warm and inviting!
We went out to the reef on a glass-bottom boat to see what we could see. We can now safely say that Clark and Sara will probably not be going on any cruises any time soon! We were both soooooo sea-sick!
About to start our nauseating adventure on the seas!

Leaving Key West behind...

Just an example of what we saw - we actually saw some interesting things - a sting ray, a baracuda, different types of corals and other beautiful fish.
After our boat-ride we took a tram tour through the town of Key West - there's lots of history and many interesting tales to tell. It was SO hot though!

The official start of US highway 1 which leads all the way from Key West to the Canadian Rockies. That's the zero-mile marker and it ends approx 2500 miles later!

Lots of little stalls to shop at.

An old ship-wrecked boat in the town.

At the Southernmost point of the USA.

This is the pool area at our hotel - you can see the ocean in the background.


And this is what a hotel room looks like once the Bothas have hit it!
