Hi Folks!

Our last full day in the US. We head to Key West.

After a wonderful breakfast we check out of our hotel having taken loads of pictures that don't do the place justice, get in our trusty steed and head south for the last time.

We have just 80 miles to go on US1. The Keys outside of our little paradise remain unremarkable, mile after mile. Then all of a sudden the causeways begin. The water turns from grey to aqua-marine and the sky is blue. The palm trees become more frequent and mile after mile slips by with ease.

We reach Key West -it's 94 deg F and 90% humidity and not a breath of air - the exact opposite of what an island climate should be like. We find our final resting spot - first time, and unpack.

A walk down to the harbour is exhausting. Lunch is great - as always and we stroll back. The little one to sit by an air conditioner and me to sit in a pool and read.

This evening we are going for sundowners at Mallory Square before hitting Duval Street. Should be good. This part of the blog will probably be written in various airport lounges tomorrow. Its hot!
