Day 5 – Wednesday


We’re now in Naples. No, not Italy, Naples in Florida – it’s right on the edge of the Everglades and our base for the next three days while we explore the National Park.

We drove the scenic route from Sanibel all along the coast, dreaming of the houses and boats we passed. When we arrived in Naples we had a few hours to kill before we could check in so we went down to the beach for lunch before heading out along the Everglades road to book some tours for tomorrow and Friday.

At one of them we got to hold a 2-year-old alligator. They’re quite cute at that age!







A little further along the road we went into a park where we saw several more alligators, including three young ones on a bank. That makes nine we’ve seen now. 


And then it was back to our superb accommodation via TGI Friday’s (where the service was so bad that we got all out meals and drinks free)! But the food was great!
