Finally got around to unloading the bikes this morning, even got as far as cleaning Lyn’s, which was quite a haul as we have not used the bikes since we moved house. After lunch we decided to embark on our first trip out today as I finally figured I could get back into the truck!
Destination was a small island on the coast about 5 miles a way. To get on the Island you pay a $5 “parking fee” which goes towards the upkeep of the place. Obviously the money is spent where it should be as the place was very well kept.
We then walked on a long beach with very fine sand, good enough to rival any Caribbean beach. 
In one of the small parks around the island there were no signs warning that alligators lived there, nor were there any warnings that alligators could be bad for your health, just a solitary sign saying
so much for the nanny state.
The island also had a number of very large houses (referred to in many cases as cottages”) from the turn of the last century. Also many equally old trees!
Also on the Island was a Sea Turtle Rescue centre that was well worth a visit.
Sitting on the wharf by the Restaurant was a Great Egret
On returning home, the evening meal was flame broiled burgers!!!
