Hi I'm Mike and this is Mike's Road Trip. "Get off the road!" "All right..."
So, our next destination is St Augustine Florida what do you think so far i love it it's the oldest
city in America yeah that's quite remarkable what is it 1565 yes 1565 that's what i read so
I'm really really curious to see the colonial quarter yeah and that's in George street we're
going now towards the caste castillo del muro i think it's called it's an old Spanish fort yes
oh it's such a beautiful day too it's probably about 70 degrees right now it's just
sunny there's a nice breeze yeah 20 something for our celsius yes our non-American friends
we found the thousand of views finally i don't need to use my eye creams or anything got this one
the fountain of youth is a 15 acre archaeological park located along the waterfront this historical
attraction is where visitors can learn about the Spanish settlers who came to the area in the 1600s
we started our day in St Augustine at the Fountain of Youth, I don't know if we look younger already
from that no i think i think we do i think it worked already and now we are going towards the
old city center and Saint George street apparently is one of the the most beautiful streets in the
colonial quarter we're gonna check if the castillo de san marco if the lines are still
big because they only allow 100 people inside so there were big lines this morning when we left
already and then later on we're probably going to go to the lighthouse and if we have time to
the alligator's farm and that it's just a alligator farm i have an issue with the ass
i put it where i shouldn't and i don't put it where i should i don't it's not shrimps it's
just shrimp i don't say shrimps that's one thing that i actually do not say but i do say a lot of
other things apparently my excuse is that is not my native language so i can always use that excuse
this is the line to go into the castle we're not doing that
we only have one day here so we really don't have time to wait so maybe next time
so back in the day this area here would have been all full of water a moat the ones that the
all the walls with the seashells oh yeah this was all brought in yeah absolutely
this was all quarried so they found it they they put it together or they they
found it on the bottom of the water like no no no no this was quarried
i don't know what core it means so they would have cut this out of a big area
We can't go more than an hour or so before Miha has to have some coffee.
Is it coffee time again what do you mean again it's early morning it's coffee time any time
yeah so it is definitely coffee time any time it's coffee time
hey where's the place we're going now the colonial border
ah yes it's a living history museum it looks really cool
and this is Saint George street the most famous in st Augustine and i see why it's so pretty it is
here we go
I kind of thought this place would have it says it's a living art museum
or living history museum and i kind of thought there would be actors at all these different
stations i didn't think it would just be one person yeah so far I'm not that
impressed i mean it's a cool place i love the history here well it's a lot of story
we don't have time if we had time it was different but yeah we really don't have
time
that's something i don't really want to do and my knees are very weak right now
just from seeing that yeah these people are actually paying to have their pictures
taken with these huge i guess bows or i don't actually know what kind of snake those were
normally bad but did you see that girl she was like yeah she's petting it like it was a shawl
with St Augustine being one of the most historically dominant paranormally active
you never know what we're going to do 25 weddings every weekend here in this area
a lot of the brides that come out here and take their pictures because of different shades that
will be imposed into their pictures about five foot up you'll see a cannonball that is still
lodged inside the wall today it's been there for nearly close to 400 years
on our way for a sunset sailing cruise we stopped by the famous
St Augustine Lighthouse and maritime museum but unfortunately it had already closed for the day
good evening
don't wake me up
tonight
man this is so amazing i don't want this to work i know this has been such a lovely evening
the weather is perfect it's perfect the light is beautiful the scenery is stunning i know i know
it's just in the the water is so calm James, James bond that he was telling us earlier that
it's uh it's very rare that the water is so oh is that right he's a sailor as well
so he said this is very rare to have waters it's so cold here and everybody's talking
about how great the water is oh yeah this is beautiful the bubbles are good too a relaxing
yeah and now we we're close to sunset so see looking nice
wow
the next morning we were able to catch the sunrise on the beach
which you are actually allowed to drive on which is pretty cool
we're off like a herd of turtles again okay you gotta come up with your own saying i just like
until i get bored of this one I'm just gonna keep using it um well like a snail we have our home
