Only 5 more days until were off to Mexico to start our 3 month backpacking adventure..! So now while were spending a day getting packed and ready to go i thought id take the time to fill you in on everything we have been up to in America! Where to start.... its been a while hasnt it 😉
Well..... Ill start with Florida... HOW AMAZING ! We started off in Charleston (or as Steve calls it Charles Town) which is a city like no where else in America the closest to England that you can get i'd say! Endless streets that you can walk around with bars, resturants, really old buildings(for america) and some lovely houses! We spent a night there in a hostel which got us ready for what we will experience in Central America, although thats probably a very upscale one in comparison.. After that we traveled down the coast to a place called Savannah, which was lovely. full of homeless people playing saxophone and singing on the streets with little shops and bars on one side with the water on the other. We spent a couple hours there with a cold beer in one hand before heading
back onto the road to head to Florida! After ignoring the GPS and a 5 hour drive down the coast we arrived into Daytona Beach! We were surrounded by large hotels and a lovely white sand beach, as we were on a budget we got a cheap motel and bought some food to eat back in the room. Thinking we were being smart we realized you get what you pay for... no forks, no plates or anything but a microwave... Daytona was nice to show Steve as its a typical florida holiday spot but we decided it was time to hit our next destination... DISNEY WORLD 😊 We spent most of the day driving and ignoring the GPS again.. we ended up in a place called Titusville (which i called Tittysville!!!!!) By accident turning on to the wrong road and going over a bridge to some island we ended up in a marine nature reserve which then led us to a wildlife drive. Thinking it would be nothing and just take a few minutes ... we ended up spending an hour and half running into snakes... all sorts of birds and last but not least.... a good few alligators.. Steve
had to mess with them and ALMOST ended up getting eaten by one!!!! We did manage to get it ALL on video tho 😉 After surviving that we then got back on the road and headed for Disney world!!!!!!! That night we went to a place called Old Town in Kissimee where it is full of quirky shops, resturants, bars... AND The biggest Sky Coaster in the WORLD! Check the video out!!!!!!!!!! Amazing! Our next day was our 11 hour trip to The Magic Kingdom! A day full of rides, trying to find the characters and the best firework display we have ever seen! After a night of rest we headed south to Miami. Because of the terentual rain storm we decided not to spend the night there but we did try a root drink call Kava which is only legal in South Florida.... it was AWFUL! tasted and looked like mud and made me quite a poorly girl! So because of the rain we drove west straight across Florida along Alligator Alley and ended up in Naples. Naples was GORGEOUS! Full of very very expensive shops lots of lovely resturants and bars and we were surounded by nothing but
2 million $$ pluss mansions.. alright for some ay?! So we did splurge a bit and stayed in a very nice hotel. After spending 12 hours here which was the plan... we decided we didnt want to leave and decided to stay another night 😊 😊 After a day on a white sandy beach and turquoise warm sea we treated ourselves with a very nice meal followed some drinks to end our American Road Trip! The next day unfortunatley we did have a 10 hour drive home... at least we made it back ay?!!!
So now weve been back for a week and half which has consisted of drinking, being lazy and seeing some close friends oh and we went kayaking yesterday down a river for 6.2 miles which took us 4 hours... very fun but we now both have blisters on our hands!!!!!
Missing you all lots,
Were leaving this wednesday morning for Cancun, Mexico so wish us luck! We WILL take care of eachother and try and keep you all updated as much as we can!!!
