Thursday 7 June 2007 - Florida City to Key West

Key West

The drive today was pretty spectacular driving along all the bridges that link the Keys. There are lots of them, the main ones being Key Largo and Marathon. Heaps of marinas and offshore mangrove islands.

Key West is a party town! Ian is feeling better already!! We booked into a Great Western motel which is located very close to the Southern most point of mainland USA. After we had visited that we walked all the way across Key West down Duval Street which is full of art galleries, bars, souvenir shops, bars, restaurants, tour desks, bars and bars. We stopped at a few including The Bull (great entertainer Yankee Jack - we bought his cd which features cultural songs such as "Beauty's Just a Light Switch Away". We also found Captain Tony's which still has the "hanging tree" through the middle of it. The Green Parrot finished us off and we came back to the motel.
