London to The Everglades

How many people are in your party’ they asked at the car hire in Miami Airport. ‘Two’ we said. We now have a brand new huge 7 seater Chevrolet. What is it about America and big cars? It also has a typically American addition - if Geoff gets too close to the car in front his seat vibrates! no comment.
After a smooth 8 hour flight it all fell apart a bit and 2 hours later we were on the road. Another hour in Miami rush hour traffic and at last we hit the Tamiami Trail. The sun going down and the Everglades looked as though it was on fire. This is a beautiful place and rather like coming home.
We arrived at Port of the Islands in the dark so will investigate in the morning, hopefully finding the manatees still in the marina. It is now 2.00 am in the UK so a very long day and time for bed.
