Today it was time to say goodbye to Miami and move onto the keys. We had a couple of hours drive, seeing so many police cars - the arrest of 2 women in a sports car, literally being handcuffed and put in the back of a police car, flashing police lights rushing into a motel, a crumpled car from a crash, and a seriously heavily armed escort of 6 vehicles for a prisoner transport. Exciting times for Miami!
We stopped in a Dennys diner on the way for brunch. Matt had a ham, sausage and egg sandwich with pancakes, and i had a hot plate with chorizo, peppers, potatos and fried eggs on top. Delicious.
The drive down the keys was fun, going over the bridges, being surrounded by crystal clear turquoise water on both sides. We are staying at Edgewater Lodge on Long Key. We are literally right on the water front in a lovely apartment. I am on the balcony at the moment, and would have posted a photo, as it was stunningly beautiful a minute ago, but now its chucking it down...
It did stop raining, and we sat outside on our balcony soaking up the sun. For dinner, we drove to our neighbouring key to a restaurant called the Island Fish Co. We got a waterfront table and watched the sun go down, sharing coconut shrimp. Matt then had snapper and i had more shrimp! A really lovely evening, in a beautiful setting.
It looks amazing, and the food sounds equally fantastic!
