    Day 47: At Islamorada on Plantation Key

    November 19 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We're worn out after yesterday (at least, I am). A landscaping crew arrive at 0900 and commence to trim all the palm trees with a chain saw... splattered coconuts all over the car park etc. Rosie rescues a couple, but they're too green and tasteless. We drive to the local Visitor Centre and get some local info. Then its down the highway to Robbies to see the tarpon being hand-fed. Not exciting, but we stay for a drink and some conch chowder. That was worth it! Back at the apartment, we had a swim in the pool, I cranked up the sauna (dry... can't throw water on the rocks... not good) and had another dip in the pool. I cooked steak on the communal BBQ and Rosie threw some veges together.Read more
