Travel

Key West has a massive festival called “Fantasy Fest” that finishes up this weekend, and I’m going to it today, Saturday and maybe a bit of Sunday. Now, my last time in Key West was pretty interesting so I’m a bit apprehensive about this one. The only place I could find accomodation was at a Bed and Breakfast place (that doesn’t serve breakfast) located on Marathon Key, about 45 mins drive away from Key West. The guy who owns it is a Vietnam veteran and he was a fighter pilot who flew over 200 missions, so it should be interesting hearing what he has to say for himself. He’s also a massive environmental activist who has had no small part in preventing a lot of Key Largo from being developed and subsequently destroyed. His name is “Captain EcoEd” but for some reason I keep on shortening that to “Captain Co-ed”. Uhhh, yeah.

I’ve only got a few of them uploaded. For some reason I’ve become really picky with pictures lately and a lot of the ones that were taken just don’t cut it. I had to put some up from Disney World though, so you can find them here. There are a few other pics from Miami Zoo that I haven’t put up, and probably won’t put up. I mean, if you want to see a giraffe, go to the zoo. ...

Was fantastic, well for the most part anyway. Saturday night was an absolute blinder and I’m still trying to figure out what went on there. Luckily I was with a group of friends the whole time and they took good care of me. We headed off to Key West at about 7am in the morning. Our first stop was for a canoeing trip and then snorkelling. The canoeing trip lasted for about an hour and was heaps relaxing. I must point out that from Key Largo to Key West there are no natural beaches. It’s all mangroves, so that’s what we were canoeing through. ...
