Snorkelling
So far I’ve had my first Broadway show in NYC, first train ride in Alaska, first skiing session in Alaska (will blog about these soon)..
And I had my first snorkelling experience some near Key Largo! There’s quite a few memorable points.
We snorkelled somewhere in the middle of Atlantic Ocean. The water is choppy. DAMN choppy.
Winter time, so it comes with chilly water.
But that’s what make the snorkelling trip so awesome! Chubs (who apparently was the most seasoned snorkelling person) was saying that if we survived this snorkelling trip, we can snorkel anywhere. Haha!
On our way to Key Largo. I cannot emphasize how much I love driving this highway.
Exotic bird once again.
Great view on the yacht
After many attempts, finally got this.
Totally awesome shot of them ogling at the guys
My first time out in the sea so far away from shore. It was pretty amazing.
We went to 2 locations to snorkel. The first one was extremely bad for me. My goggles weren’t tight and I kept breathing through my nose. it starts fogging real bad and guess what? seawater kept surging into my eyes which had my lens on. It was quite torturous and I couldn’t really appreciate what the sea has to offer.
We’re actually the last group of people to get on board. Apparently, the water is too cold to be bearable for the rest. INDEED. I was shaking uncontrollably right from my inner bones with the wind blowing harshly.
But still, Jason, Chubs and I persisted and went for a 2nd round at the 2nd location when most of the rest stayed on board. After adjusting my goggles properly, I can better enjoy the pleasure of snorkelling. It was then I started noticing the little jellyfishes dancing around me as I swim above shoals of fishes and colourful reefs. It’s a pity many reefs are dying due to mankind activities.
The wind was strong (as you can see) and everyone was cold (as you can see too). Our ghost and refugee showed pictures of evidence.
But it was a fruitful and super memorable trip out in the deep blue sea!
Everglades (Air boating)
The famous subtropical wetlands with wildlife swamping in it. Cool birds, rare plants and ferocious alligators! We’re going to take an air boat tour in this place!
It’s amazing to see how the boat “glide/hover above the water. sleek and swift!
excellent scenery
strong wind
Alligator tanning
plant with pineapple crown
simply love getting close up shots with birds
We went to the alligator farm to look at some. I do understand who did Godzilla originate from.
Captain and us!
And we never let a good spot go without a shot!
Burr Berry Farm
Our next visit is to a strawberry farm.
Home of the legendary Strawberry KING!
Refreshing strawberry lemonade
Check out all the strawberry goodies!
Strawberry Sundae
Seriously, under warm sun, licking away smooth and naturally sweet strawberry sundae with real strawberries from the KING, indulging in smooth and thick strawberry milk shake, and munching away soft fluffy shortcake that melts very nicely with the ice cream..
It’s heavenly.
We bought a basket of them to finish at the airport!
