Key West
A beautiful beach in a National Park, Key West After a terrible night sleep in the backseat of the van, which was so incredibly stinking hot, we woke ready for an awesome day out on the sea. We got into our bathers and headed down to the boat docks in Key West. Today we had a full day of water sports including jet skis, scuba diving, swimming, sailing, kayaking etc. We were joined with the other trek group at the pier and waited around for our boat. Suddenly a coconut fell from tree and hit the ground, it was lucky that no one was underneath it. As we continued to wait some guys from the other group smashed it open and we all shared fresh coconut, it was great. Finally we got the word, the sea trip, was cancelled. It was too windy to go out so they cancelled it, we weren’t happy, so far we were having a rough time in Key West.
We left the pier and walked down the main road to stop and get some lunch. We figured that after lunch we’d head down to this nice beach located in a national park. It was walking distance, so that’s what we did. It cost us
Key West
Sign displaying distances to everywhere to actually enter the national park, about $3 each and get to the beach but it was quite nice. The beach was a little rocky but we enjoyed it anyway. Dave and Sara were following behind but decided not to join us and had their own day of exploring Key West. Most of the early afternoon was spent at this beach, relaxing and having a swim. As soon as we left the beach the first place we met, was the pub. We all enjoyed a few drinks then went to get some dinner. Still no sign of Dave and Sara but eventually they turned up halfway through dinner.
After dinner we headed down to have another drink at a pub near the pier we were at earlier in the day. We were outside and once again it started to rain. Everyone except Tina, Marcia, Dave, Hannah and I decided to go back to the campsite and have an early night. We tried to convince them to stay but they jumped in a cab and left. The rest of us who were left decided to go from pub to pub having a drink, playing some cards then moving on to
Key West
Beautiful National Park beach the next one. We eventually found a sports bar with plenty of pool, darts and beer which we hung around for quite a while. Eventually we left that bar and were debating whether to go back to the campsite or not. We were all happy to go back but Dave wanted to stay out, even if it was by himself. But he eventually convinced us to stay out. We went to the next bar and the other trek group were there. We continued to drink with them and some of the girls started dancing while the rest of us checked out the nude bar upstairs (it was very strange/disturbing).
We were there most of the night then finally organised a cab to take us all home. When we arrived Dave and couldn’t find our tent. We put it up again before we left but it wasn’t there for some strange reason. We weren’t happy, but we found out from another trek group that some people from our group moved it, so we began to take down their tent while they were sleeping. We eventually found it next to another trek group camp site and Hannah and I slept in

I couldn't put it better myself... there for the night.
