Florida

Swamp Boat
Drive to the keys!
Sunset from the boat
How much can you eat?
Miami Downtown!

(Day 1)
Arrived at Fort Lauderdale airport.
Got ourselves a vehicle and headed out straight to the Gator Park
It was great fun... We sat in one of those swamp boats and had a chance to see the swamp I've seen like a billion times courtesy CSI Miami :) Surprisingly there were quite a few alligators there...our guide in the boat looked like he was out of a bad action flick . But he was good! We then watched an alligator show where a guide showed how to tackle an alligator NOT :) It was raining as we left. Fun!
From there began the drive down to the Keys..It was a beautiful drive with a setting sun as a backdrop!
We reached the keys in the evening and crashed at a hotel there

(Day2)
We woke up that morning...drove off to the beach. After a brief stop at the swim paraphernalia store we headed to the docks. We got on our boat and headed to the deep waters...
Snorkeling, jumping on a huge trampoline in the middle of the sea, climbing one of the water playground floatable slides, paragliding and jet skiing .... we did it all, it was just awesome
By the time it was evening I was all burnt but I still had a broad smile!!
We then went on a sunset sail where I had a good time watching the sun set and had some good company! We had some thai food and headed out to our small motel...

(Day 3)
This morning we head off to Tampa Bay to Bush Garden the home to the infamous Sheikra coaster. This theme park had an African Safari theme going on...
We had a chance to ride in one of those open trucks to go through the park to watch the animals from up close and what do you know we get to see my favorite animal in the whole wide world the giraffe ! they let us pet them and feed them. These animals being as tall and large as they are still are very graceful! Rest of the animals were a blur! After cavorting some more at the amusement park we head towards to airport to drop half our party there..we then go to miami just to check out the place. Thanks to one of my friends who suddenly had this uncontrollable craving for italian food thats all we did had Italian food in miami! Then it was time to go home!!!!
