"Yeah it's getting worse."
Hi I'm Mike and this is Mike's Road Trip. "Get off the road!" "All right..."
Well today is an exciting day, one of my bucket list road trip destinations for the
united states has always been the Florida keys and today we're finally going to get to do it
how exciting is that very very exciting it wasn't one of my bucket list destination because i didn't
know exactly what it was but after he told me that and I've seen it yeah yeah and we actually
watched some videos last night to kind of get us uh primed up for this and it's like oh my gosh
we're only gonna be there for four days and we wish we were there for four weeks honestly
so maybe this is just the beginning maybe we come back yeah yeah so onward like a herd of
turtles
water looks very inviting and we're only going halfway down we're going to fiesta key
oh wow look at this babe look at the color of the water over here look at that oh wow
oh my gosh i do believe we have a really nice camp spa
wow this place is amazing so we're at the fiesta key rv resort
uh which is also a thousand trails property one of their encore uh properties yeah
wow i i keep smiling since we got here we are like right on the water the color of the water
is insane yeah we've got all this space we've got a really good spot and we have the sunset
nearby the pool yes well let's give you a little bit of a quick tour of our site so
this is all ours we haven't hooked up yet we just arrived so this is all ours where you are walking
right under the palm tree and tada
this was really amazing we didn't film it but there was a gentleman
who it's like a concierge service where they help you back in your vehicle or your RV
uh they give you a tour of the site and and show you where all the amenities are and he was saying
right here we're gonna see lots of manta rays and and other fish and stuff so can you imagine
waking up in the morning with your coffee and he's like oh my god there's a battery yeah yeah
is that real that's helpful yeah that's a police couple of them yeah oh my god look
we are surrounded by water this fiesta kid i looked on the map is like a little island you
know you can only drive from the road here and then we are surrounded by water this color water
down the trailer
watch out everything is flying okay
Jesus oh i know i heard my hand
trying to close that door holy moly it's windy you made it inside finally all right
oh wow we are moving we are moving yeah the whole trailer is moving
now look what happened to me trying to open the door gosh it looks a little swollen here yeah
to close the door no can you hear that wind yep I'm so grateful we got the awning back and that
was scary yeah because it was just flying all over it was about to rip off the hinges and stuff
and it just started all of a sudden i was just walking outside to check the sunset
oh the sunset is looking and the door almost ripped off yeah exactly
maybe that's what i heard as well and then the storm started and we started moving so
boom everybody agitated here if you accidentally opened this door i mean it would just rip out
of your hand if you weren't prepared well that's what it did yeah yeah okay all right
well let's get back to dinner dinner and a glass of wine huh yeah okay let's do that
we're in for a serious storm here oh we are in paradise i said it's white sand beaches
in turquoise water look at your wine moving and we can't look at you you cannot stand
it's inside i have flashbacks of when we're flooded out in Tennessee
like this water rising thankfully that's ocean water i mean we're right on the water
remember that last time it rained all night and we got flooded out oh my god it's so loud
yeah it's getting worse okay maybe we should think again about the bigger trailer wow look here
there's palm trees you can hardly see outside
you were right about those black clouds they were very ominous looking yeah
it's so loud in here
oh boy it has been raining and storming all night
I went to buy a pair of sandals well they exchanged the ones that i bought yesterday and
uh and then i followed this so we have like a matching hat matching hat yeah he's with black
mine is without i don't know this looks maybe a little ridiculous what then we both have the same
hat i know we are now that i see it here i don't know i know no it's clearly where our popcorn
that wasn't clear before right yeah now that we have matching hats well to be honest both of them
were mine oh yeah let's be honest you didn't actually let's be honest you didn't actually
buy this hat for me you bought the hat for you but it was too big see then you're like oh all right
so i thought here's a present from me my darling yeah because look how how well it suits you
you're like so laid back so very
you guys let us know if you don't yeah leave a comment below
yeah if it doesn't look a lot cooler well no that's not the question the
question is do we look dorky with matching hats that's the question
we are on day two of our adventure here in the Florida keys and what do we have coming up next
where the cedar hospital the sea turtle turtle or turtles both no it's just the sea turtle i just
didn't hear the sea part oh yeah yeah yeah it says here turtle hospital but this is sea turtle center
yeah we don't know exactly what to expect of this tour or and we didn't read up on the hospital yet
so yeah so this is kind of a lame intro and um yeah we just do this everything can be perfect
then we'll release them back into the
wild
i think it's pretty admirable what these people are doing and stuff but
you know i found it kind of boring what do you think this is too long but it's very interesting
to find out about turtles and it's very painful to wash them because it is a hospital there are
turtles with problems and you see like hunchbacks and tumors and but you know it makes you think
about the sea life and what we do to everything really to nature is incredible so you might
drop it here or to in this hospital yeah it's a cool place to visit really when you come here
that's a good point yeah well my hair is all wind blown so i think it's time to break out the hat
he loves that hat now yeah it really suits you
what's the name of your favorite musical artist uh let's go with one republic okay
oh my gosh this looks so good
mahi tacos coconut shrimp some sweet potato fries and some crab and spinach dip
just seafood baby we like and then a nice view
oh those look amazing they do actually i don't know if i had coconut shrimp before
they don't should have tried them without the mango
i can already taste them you can taste the mango
wow this is a really cool area
and it's just us i want a picture here
put that down okay i have to put this down for photographic time
so what did you think of that about the lunch oh it was really good it was just
what the doctor recommended yeah so what was your favorite oh the coconut shrimp mm-hmm
that was wow those were really good the mango sauce i don't really like to mix food with
fruit but that was really and how they butterflied the shrimp to make it really
big
this is key lime hibiscus nail 51 this is 45
oh this is the crust I'm a killer oh yeah this one is like you're
sitting on the beach in Florida in in the keys and they bring you one of these this is like
that drink this local tree and the cool thing is that oh these are from the town
yeah this is this is so quintessential Florida keys type of a cockpit style yeah
this tastes like somebody's arm i don't like this one i don't like it but because it's a bit bitter
28 which one is it armpit beer that's what i said no what is it really it's glory days it's poppy
pale ale coffee oh poppy oh that's why i don't like it i'm not really a ipa type of beer drinker
oh yeah coconut quinoa and blonde and this definitely
tastes like coconut yeah and two is actually this is the island
i would call it Islamorada but i guess in English oh fantastic
so we drove a little bit south this evening from fiesta key where our uh travel trailer
is parked and we're now at marathon marathon island yeah a tranquility bay resort and we're
gonna have dinner here at the butterfly cafe yeah yeah i i hope it's gonna be like in the sand
I've seen the tables on the sand yeah cool let's go have a look
yeah this looks like a pretty nice place to stay yeah it's decent yeah i like how charming it is
yeah okay now i'm really wishing we had stayed here
how is it to stay on a video like this you come up in the morning like
oh let me have my coffee with my feet in the sand directly
hey we just found an incredible place to go swimming and then we saw this sign
call me ignorant but i thought crocodiles were fresh water not salt water
nice hangouts pod huh oh wow
Miha used to be quite the tree climber when she was a
kid and now she's going to demonstrate this for me
i don't think i can go any further i have my slippers hello she's not very far
do you want to watch for them because i'm here crocodile you know that other area
is more of a bay i wonder if this is free of crocodiles because this is the open ocean
i don't know but look at that that looks like a lighthouse out there no
the color of the water is just incredible
oh yeah this is live
well that's it from the middle keys of the Florida keys
stay tuned for our next episode from Key West so until next time we'll see on the road...
