We arrived in Talahassee on the evening of the 17th August, and went out for a drive to see the sites. It seems the sites in Talahassee are harder to find that you might think at night time, but we did see a large gaggle of war protestors outside Jeb Bush’s house and also Florida State University, which looked lovely.

On the 18th we finally left the I10 behind for good and headed south on the I75 towards Tampa. We stopped off on Tampa for an ice cream and a drive around, and then headed on to Naples for the night.

The next day we made our way east to Miami, stopping on the way for an airboat ride on the edge of the Everglades National Park (no boats are allowed inside the actual park). This was great fun, we were out for an hour and the airboat captain even managed to find us an alligator to see! All in all this was my favourite moment of the trip.

We spent the next morning in Miami, working our way up the coast to Titusville in the afternoon, stopping along the way in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Springs.

The final leg of the journey was the short distance to Orlando on the 21st August for the flight home.
