Everglades

We didn't have Wi-Fi for a few days, therefore I couldn't write.

We have been to the Everglades. It's beautiful there - and hot. We started at the West coast of Florida where Everglades City is located. We started with a boat trip through the mangroves. It was really informative and fun. And since we had a speed of about 15mph, there were no moskitos present :-D (  the magic number for moskitos is 3... as long as you move faster than 3 mph they can't follow you :-D).

After that 2h trip we drove east. Near to Miami there is a Trail that leads to an observation tower. Unfortunately this trail was already closed the time we arrived. We decided to look for a motel and try it the next morning. Well this was a challenge :-D
Usually, when you drive into a town its always the same: Gas Stations, Super markets, Motels, City, Motels, Super markets, Gas Stations, out of the city... This is a bit different in Miami (or at least the way we came from). The Gas Stations were OK, but there were no super markets or motels anywhere along this road... We searched for 2 hours! That's crazy.
We drove back and took another road south, where we actually found a motel :-) - which was even really cute.

I'm going to eat a Key Lime Pie now... I'm going to write about today later :-)
