18th Jan - Everglades RV park ($16), Cypress Tree after a long drive from the Keys we missed the Gator Park and had to stay in another part of the Everglades, a nice park around a lake which was full of alligators!! We decided to miss Miami, the RV parks were so far out of the city with no public transport that it all seemed so difficult. Besides we are feeling we have a good feel of what Florida is about and gives a good excuse to come back to Miami one day.
19th Jan - Lake Manatee State Park, Brendenden ($24) - have you ever wanted to cuddle an alligator? Well it has been one of my ambitions (see photo)! Another long drive on the West Coast through Naples, lots of money here...and then up to park 40 miles from Tampa, struggled to get in anywhere near Sarasota so had to miss it.
20th Jan - Codys Rv Park ($28), Weeki Wachee - We were going to stay in Tampa but then we drove through it and thought better of it. Rough!! Cody's is a trailer park but for its short comings has internet. Have already booked into Little Manatee River State Park, 150 miles up the West Coast of Florida. They are obsessed with manatees, many people even have statues of them outside holding their post box!
21st - 22nd Jan - Little Manatee River, Chief land ($22) - It is freezing, we were so cold that we had to make big camp fire and needed to try out our newly acquired table top gas barbeque anyway (worked like a bomb). We did manage to venture out on our bikes, although we had to put on gloves and jackets and cycled to Chiefland, 16 mile round trip. Its times like this we wish we were towing a car like most of the RV ers.
23rd Jan - St Andrews State Park, Panama City Beach ($31) - A long driving day as it is cold, again saying it’s the coldest Winter in Florida on record! Have had our Spanish lessons on though so keeps us occupied and spotting good petrol prices becoming the obsession, best today $3.06 per gallon. Very pretty drive around the Florida Panhandle on the Gulf Coast. Must be a Summer destination as all holiday homes shut up or for sale. (Don’t believe the news if say otherwise, the States are in trouble!). Nice RV park, overlooking the bay and many bambi’s wandering around coming up to the van but we must press on to Meh-I-co.
