Florida 2025
DAY 15 Wednesday 26 March
Turtles sunning themselves
On the road again
27/03/2025
Off again, today we leave The Lakeside Inn. Lovely situation but I do not think we would come back. If we came this way again we would stay at The Magnolia Bed and Breakfast. Glad to be free of the bungs!
We did not go far today, only about 50 miles, to the Blue Springs National Park. I do not know why it is called ‘blue’ as it is very green. The waters are so clear you can see every fish, and turtle (todays picture). There were manatees, about 10 of them, but they were on the far side of the spring and not a photo opportunity (just dark shapes in the water). However, later on two did come across right in front of us so it was worth waiting.
On to Deland and a nice nearly new hotel with all facilities. So much so I spent the evening doing our laundry - so exciting.
Sorry not such an interesting day but on to St Augustine tomorrow.
