Jo here…
Today has been a lazy day of sun, sea and snorkelling. We started the day with a trip around the eastern coast of the island of Key West. We walked out on White Pier, drove past the southern most point of North America and landed ourselves at Fort Zachary Reserve for a spot of snorkelling and swimming. The term beach is clearly used loosely here, as what we arrived to was essentially coarse white gravel (broken coral) which is extremely harsh on the feet when trying to enter the water!
After our snorkel/swim we ventured to a local grocery and then back to our beautiful accommodation at Courtney’s Place for a spot of lunch – the kids had hot dogs and us adult a little more refined meatloaf and mash.
Tristram and I spent the afternoon wandering the Main Street of Key West – Duval St. It’s an eclectic mix of bohemian and tourist shops. The kids spent the afternoon swimming in the pool.
( T – think there are just as many art galleries as tourist shops and bars)
The streets here are tiny and the houses just as tiny and quaint. The weather steamy. But it’s a quiet laid back pace which is really quite relaxing.
( T – laid back means anything is allowed on the road that has wheels of some sort but must have drink and/or Phone in Hand)
