- [Robert] Hello everybody and welcome to the Florida Keys.
In today's video, I'm going to reveal
my top 10 things to do in Key West.
♪ I'm riding, riding with my RV ♪
♪ Wherever I want to be ♪
♪ Because I'm free, in my RV. ♪
Number 10, Southernmost Point.
You know make the line, take the picture,
get it out of the way.
You know it's not really the Southernmost Point, right?
Number 9, Mile Marker 0 of US-1.
Unlike Southernmost Point,
this truly mile marker zero of US-1,
the longest north-south road in the United States.
The other end at at Fort Kent, Maine,
right by the border with Canada.
It does get a little colder up there.
Number 8, Truman's Little White House.
Trump has Mar-a-lago, Kennedy had his Palm Beach estate,
Reagan had is ranch in Santa Barbara,
and Truman, well Truman had The Little White House
in Key West.
Fascinating history happened in this place
and don't even thing about taking out your camera.
Photography is forbidden because even to this day,
it is an official presidential residence.
Number 7, Hemingway's House.
One of the first houses in the island
to have indoor plumbing,
a second floor bathroom with running water,
or a state of the art swimming pool, for that matter.
It is also the place where the "Snows of Kilimanjaro"
and "To Have and Have Not" were written.
See the polydactyl cats?
They're direct descendants of Hemingway's felines.
This was the writer's home during his 30s
when he used to frequent nearby Sloppy Joe's
pretty much daily as the story goes.
Talking about Sloppy Joe's,
Number 6, go bar hopping in Duval Street
if that is your thing.
Whether is is the Bull and Whistle Bar,
the clothing optional Garden of Eden on top floor,
Sloppy Joe's, Captain Tony's which was
the original location of Sloppy Joe's,
the Smallest Bar, well there are too many to mention here.
Please drink responsibly or not.
Number 5, eat some seafood.
There is a plethora of good restaurants
in the Conch Republic and I'm going to recommend any
in particular because honestly,
most of them are really good.
Number 4, see a festival.
Be it Fantasy Fest or Lobster Fest, whatever you're in to,
it is guaranteed to be a lot of fun.
Number 3, Sunset Cruise.
It is a cliché, but it is incredibly romantic
and lots of fun especially if you go on the one
that has the open bar.
Talking about cruising,
Number 2, visit Dry Tortugas National Park.
A hop on the ferry or take the seaplane
either to see historic Fort Jefferson
or snorkel around the moat wall
or just to be at this beautiful, remote archipelago.
Number 1, Mallory Square Sunset Celebration.
Nothing says Key West as much as joining the crowds
and street performers at this daily tradition
here in the Conch Republic.
While you are there, have a Mojito
in my name at the outdoor bar
at El Meson de Pepe, listening to salsa music
as the sun sets.
And that's my top ten.
I know you can also go to a beach,
although none of them are great.
Do some snorkeling, boating, kayaking,
but none of those things are unique to Key West.
Okay, if you must go to a beach,
Honorable Mention, the beach at Fort Zachary
is Key West's best kept secret.
Now, what is your top ten?
