Old Customs House Inn Key West

... much better and we head out to the Paradise Pub for some cheeseburgers where I understand that they add cheese to the meat before cooking for the extra yummy fat. Burgers were very good but no time to waste, we have a trip to make.

Now comes the part that explains why "Gomorrah" is in the today's title. Four of us (Paul C. decides to stay behind) head off 90 miles down to ...

... west key seaport. Lovely area with lots of very impressive yhats & catamarans. They were doing all sorts of water sports and fishing trips, stopped and chatted to the fishing guy and looked at some of his photos of what people had caught on the trips, worryingly there had been afew Bull Sharks that had been caught recently!!! I remember watching a program about them and the chap saying they attack people the most out of all the sharks!!! Oh well suppose its unlikely. He had a ...

... but bordered by pine trees - free shade, hooray. The water was crystal clear and much calmer than South Beach. We saw a few colourful fish and a lot of people were snorkeling, but we are on such a tight budget now, that we couldn't afford to rent a snorkel :(.

After a lovely few hours spent on the beach, we returned back through Bahamian Village and Jim stopped off at a backstreet 'old skool' barbers, 'Floyd's', to get his hair ...

... we were soooo gutted. We never to got find out what it was on the end of the line, but speaking to Fred the next morning, he reckoned it was probably a barracuda or maybe a black-tip shark (!) as they are known to come in to shore at night.

05/10/2009 - I had been looking forward to this day for a while! About 20 miles south of Islamorada on Grassy Key, there is a Dolphin Research Centre, where you can swim with dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico sea. Jim had booked a ...

... da man meistens doch nicht das sieht was man sich erhofft hat. wir hatten jedoch glück. nach kurzer zeit kreiste ein ganzer schwarm delphine um unser boot und zeigte die berühmten dlphin-sprünge. die fotos sind leider nicht wirklich gut geworden, da die viehcher einfach zu schnell und zu beweglich sind.

der tag ging insgesamt rasend schnell zu ende und um die tolle zwit nicht zu vergessen, habe ich mir vom boot einen weiteren sonnenbrand für den start in die neue woche mitgenommen...

... beside them and there were hundreds of people out enjoying the sun while hoping for the big one. Highway 1 comes to its end in Key West, but what is most important is the location of the Most Southerly Point in the USA. This location is known as one of the four corners of the USA. The others are Madawaska, Maine, Blaine, Washington, San Ysidro, California. So, as of today I have accomplished what is known as the four corner tour and have included a collage ...

... no answer….i get out of the shop, the heat of outside hurt me loudly but that’s why I’m here, I sit on the stairs at the entrance of the shop for ten minutes….then I decide to make a move. If my friends like surfer shops I didn’t come here for this, so, they could at least say that they prefer to stay here. I go to visit the city and come back one hour and a half later. They are still in the shop, they ...

... Key West at Rick's. They own no real estate and have lived on a 40 foot sail boat for since 1998! Speaking of Rick's-Yo! Adrian plays there on Thursdays at 4-funny guy and decent musician. Parrotdise is a restaurant that overlooks the water just before Big Pine Key. They have sharks in a small pool in the front. No Name Pub is on No Name key-everyone raves about their pizza (we did not fancy it). But their ...

... our new tent and blow up our airbed (which is much harder without a pump I can tell you!!) with teamwork and no arguments! Luckily the airbed just fitted inside the tent, so we were set for the night, and having completed our camp we hit the pool to cool down. We also tried out their private beach, which had a roped off area stopping you from going off across to the next key - I guess the currents are pretty dangerous. While Q was swimming at the beach 3 porpoises came swimming by ...

... of conch chowder. One of our tablemates had steak every night and it was cooked perfectly each night. I mostly stuck to fish dishes and that night had grilled mahi-mahi, which was quite tasty. I can't remember what the dessert offerings were, but it doesn't matter since they were always yummy. The portion sizes were very reasonable, so we left the table feeling satisfied, but not overwhelmed. Our table pretty much got kicked out of the dining room each night. Our poor ...
