Bye Bye Key West, next and final stop is Sarasota, a mere 6.5 hours drive (350 miles). Today Kev has the wheel exiting Key West across 7 mile bridge (which is actually 6.89 miles, but that didn’t sound anywhere near grand enough).
Ello Me Harties, a fun day of chillin by the pool, sampling rum and watching the sunset aboard a sailing ship with champagne and nibbles.
Rounding off the day in this darkly seductive, dimly lit and secluded table restaurant, you would think you were in a gentleman’s club, rather than a very cleverly themed dessert restaurant where everything has a hint of the naughty with lip smacking double entendres (I couldn’t have done better myself).
Starting with the drinks; wine, beer, champagne or spirits renamed and served in glasses with hot melted chocolate around the rim, followed by mind blowing desserts.
Simply orgasmic (according to Mrs Fogg and Kevin).
Welcome to the southern most tip of the continental US and only 90 miles from Cuba
Sorry Mr Smith, we tried to get your Mrs to let you know you could see us on the Key West Cam, but Kev was havin too much fun
And welcome to the Lighthouse family, we’re lifted to the top by 88 steps (although kev’s little legs were too short to make it down easily)
Lunch courtesy of a little restaurant on the gulf coast
Followed by a stretch by our pool, resplendent in a set of new bikinis
Next stop Better Than Sex (click the link to see what it is)
Oh Yes they now have a Harley T-shirt store!
But the sunsets and fun is what it’s all about. Today is a Womble day, plus the bus and seeing mile marker zero, the southern most point of the continental US.
Yes a tiki hut on water
A slow rise to a beautiful morning then off to cover the remaining drive to Key West and Mile Marker Zero, via food of course with some iguana, lobster and Tarpon feeding (young Kev didn’t realise she wasn’t supposed to be the meal)
Such a wonderful and peaceful evening. Glass of Wine at 7pm and s’mores at 8, followed by a session of lounging around a very idyllic location
I’m in heaven. We pre booked a tiny hotel in The Keys at Tavernier. It’s perfect!
Silver sandy beach – check
Cute little rooms – check
Awesome view and front onto the Gulf of Mexico- check
Two piers you can walk on – oh yes!
Glass of wine at 7pm – most def!
Jumping fish and Barracuda to spot – yup!
Hammocks – large ones
And awesome sunset – yes, yes,yes
And now we are all hovering for s’mores provided by our B&B owner
So this will be our 3rd year at Halloween Horror Nights and Kevin’s second. As usual the entire park is turned over to horror houses and scare zones. 10 Horror houses were enjoyed this year and after 14hours of walking we are bushed
With Mel’s Drive In suitably renamed
Time for some scares
You know how things go full circle, conservatives privatise, labour nationalises, check shirts were in then out then in and cords, well they were never in and never will be. But young Kev is sporting the latest millennial trend that has never been seen before, the “Fanny Pack” and boy has she been getting ribbed over it.
