Hi I'm Mike and this is Mike's Road Trip. "Get off the road!" "All right..."
So, we moved a little bit south we're now in key west this is the most uh southern point
of the united states yep we're in Mallory Square now and we have one hour to dinner
so we're going to check out this area so far it's looking amazing
so charming and the day just turned out so beautifully yeah everybody is out ready for
the sunset so if you come here apparently where is this yeah wait for the fan of it it sure looks
like it all the sailboats are going by yeah that's what i was going to say especially if you get one
of those yeah of that yeah we won't be able to do that because tomorrow we're going on one of those
our first excursion in key west was to hit the water for a dolphin watching and
snorkeling excursion with the folks from barefoot billy's water sports
and it was a fantastic experience that's a nice
i don't know about waiting in a line to get a picture taken at the southernmost
part of the united states do you no definitely not but it's southernmost point but the thing is that
when you look at the map it's not really the most saturn it goes so they put a marker there for no
good reason she's standing on a pavement that's why i'm so small first of all um yeah they put a
marker because maybe the southernmost point is not reachable by food oh i see okay yeah
that's possible I'm thinking I'm thinking but no definitely i will not stay in line for a picture
okay so are you ready for this climb all the way up into the lighthouse no really we have
no water and you're tired and it's hot though no short answer is no oh well i'm looking at this
from a positive perspective and I'm thinking about this incredible view up there it's a positive one
such a great view from up here and the breeze feels amazing
okay that's nice porch there's chairs
at yeah that was nice is
so right now we're at this beautiful place the uh tropical gardens here in key west and they are
celebrating their 85th anniversary which is quite a feat if you think about all the tropical storms
and um and hurricanes and things like that that they've had to overcome all of those years so
i oh friend bunny friend zupani is miha's favorite flower yeah i think here at least
in hawaii is called monoi i don't know how you call it here but i call it french
gosh what a setting this is
um
okay attracting to water like a monster flame that's true
we both really enjoy botanical gardens and stuff and this is just really remarkable
tropical yeah my favorite kind with a nice little boardwalk oh look at these things
the palm trees species of palm trees i guess i look at their leaves they are
airplanes
oh there's no crocodiles in here
it fell in my hand
she was built in 1891 by the federal
government
uh
the sunset cruise is about to start on the road look at that
darling i know it's hard to let go soon
pretend to be bold
darling so right now we are about to go on a jet ski excursion and this is
mija's first time on a jet ski what are you feeling exciting yeah very exciting
it's gonna be a lot of fun yeah i hope he doesn't do any stupid things yeah
uh well we're on a tour so i might be limited to the stupid things i can do which
i would translate into being fun things yeah and if the hair looks really disheveled it's because
we didn't shower it's first thing in the morning and we're gonna get all wet anyhow so
the first ski just arrived jet ski the first joke oh okay cool
liability waiver sign we're just about to hit the water
if you want
oh
what do you think so far
yeah it's a it's a bit choppy in some of those areas but
the smooth areas are awesome yeah exactly beautiful out here
well we just got done with our jet ski tour
yeah we both are a little disheveled but we want to give a big shout out to barefoot
bobs they're the tour operator that we went on this jet ski trip with as well as yesterday the
uh dolphins trip yeah it was with them as well both really really fun
during our trip to key west we stayed at boyd's campground
which is a convenient location but the traffic and airplane noise was not pleasant if you're
lucky to get a spot right on the water it might be worth putting up with the noise
our favorite restaurant in key west was half shell raw bar it's a casual fish house
with waterside seating in a former shrimp packing facility
the vibe is great and the fresh seafood and cocktails are
outstanding after dinner it's a great area to stroll the boardwalk
we are now just leaving key west yep that's all she wrote for this uh trip we only had two days
here we go in key west yeah we had two days next to marathon um we recommend what minimum four days
oh minimum four days yeah one week would be yeah a week i think it would be fine for the keys for
the keys in total yeah going back and forth yeah um we really love the atmosphere the vibe here
yeah if you're into water sports and stuff oh yes we tried to pack as much as possible
in two days and i think we did pretty good yeah we did snorkeling a dolphin watch um skijet
sunset sailing shot oh no jet ski generic but we they were actual wave runners okay wave
runners there you go we were on water with some jets that's true i call them water scooters so
which i think is kind of a fair description to call them they do a little bit more than scoot
okay then so we are off key west as i was saying um and we are going to Miami
everglades we're gonna station there for three days it's the first time we stay in one place
for three days in a campground ah is that right yeah okay yeah maybe in a campground
exactly it would be so cool not to hitch yeah
in uh for three days now i have to pay attention to the road bye.
