From Days 8 to 11 of our trip to Florida, we continued to enjoy the sunny weather while we did a bunch of outdoor activities, including birdwatching, kayaking, nightfishing, and mini-golf. Here are the photos:
|
We had a very American breakfast on the morning of Day 8, including biscuits and gravy, omelette, bacon, sausages and grits. |
|
Then we drove to nearby Sanibel, a sandy barrier island that has become a popular tourist destination due to its shell beaches and wildlife refuges. |
|
Once on the island, we drove along a small road that gave ample opportunities for birdwatching. |
|
You can see a flock of pelicans landing at the sand bar. |
|
Needle fish. |
|
While Angela's parents took Sunny back to the airport for her flight home, Angela, my mum and I stayed on Sanibel to enjoy its gorgeous beaches. |
|
Then we spent a couple of hours on a kayaking tour of the local lagoon and mangrove swamps. |
|
I didn't bring my camera as I wasn't sure of the risk, so these next two photos I found via a Google Image search. They give a pretty good sense of the sort of environment we kayaked through. It was a really fun excursion, surprisingly relaxing as we drifted through tunnels of crab-infested mangroves. |
|
On Day 9, Angela drove us to Miami, on the Atlantic coast of Florida. |
|
Saw some graffiti about the recent unrest in Venezuela. |
|
Eating at a restaurant on Ocean Drive. I had a nice Cuban sandwich. |
|
We went for a little stroll on South Beach. |
|
There were hoards of college kids partying on their spring break. |
|
Back on Ocean Drive, which is lined with colourful buildings in the Art Deco style. |
|
Soon we were back on the road, passing giant cruise liners like this one. |
