We had a nice lie in this morning and breakfast on the Diesel’s patio. Thanks for running down to the shops and buying delicious fruit, especially the cherries, and yoghurt.
It was a beautiful day and a really pleasant journey back along the US1 through all the Florida Keys. Thanks Wayne for the comfortable drive.
We popped into the local supermarket, the choices here are insane. How do you choose from 8 different types of garlic bread?
Armed with supplies we set off to Tree Tops Park near the Diesel’s house in Davey. This beautiful park, and again like everything else in the US is huge. It is the burial ground of the Seminole and has forest areas with giant trees and fern like vegetation. There are lilly filled lakes, flanked by walkways. There are grassed areas surrounded by picnic and barbecue sites.
We found a lovely picnic spot under the trees to shade us from the sun and give us some reprieve from the heat. We had our first braai in the States. South African men know how to braai. Ribs, steak, chicken sosaties (kale salad for my healthy friend), wine for the girls and beer for the boys – what a treat (the kale salad and chosen garlic bread) was enjoyed by all.
One small issue with our camp site, it was close to the road, which meant entertainment. Every oke with a turbo suoped up car used the park as a race track. I thought I was back in Brakpan.
After lunch we went for a short walk through the forest area to a wooden look out point, a +/- 20m high tree house structure, with a spectacular view of the surrounding forest.
Back home and it was pack up time for our Cuba trip.
Another kak day in the US!!!
