Miami and the Keys

First week of May saw us packing our bags again! This time we were off to Florida with Oli and Vivi for a week. 

Started out in Miami South Beach then drove down to Key Largo, stopping in the Everglades for a short tour on one of those airboats to see the wildlife. We were lucky: our trip was the last one out, they shut down for the season as there was hardly any water in the Glades. Hope they get some rain soon!

In Key Largo we had a very cute motel just off the water and managed to find the best burger ever: beef patty stuffed with pulled pork. Am normally not a fan of pork, but that combination was truly out of this world.

On we drove to Islamorada, stopping to take a fishing tour along the way. The fish just kept on biting and we ended up with 15 fresh fish fillets for dinner!

In Key West we roamed the streets and art galleries before returning to Miami South Beach for a couple of nights.

The water in Miami was so beautiful, really enjoyed swimming in the ocean.
We even had one of the best pizzas so far (in the US)! 

I met up with a friend from my Dahn Yoga who moved down to work at the center in downtown Miami. We ended up crashing a wedding - great fun!
