Another wonderful +27c Sunny morning in Key West, but we must say good by to Key West this morning, so at 9:30am, the trailer is attached to the SUV and we are now heading to our next stop which is St. Petersburg, FL.
US#1 Northbound is fine, some traffic, but going into Key West or South, that was a totally different story - stop and go. Looks like all of Miami is going to Key West for the 3 day US holiday (Washington's Birthday), cars, trucks, boats, RV's and Motorcycles (lots of them). Even saw a group of about 15 as a big pack heading South.
On advice of the tourist information centre in Florida City, we did not take our planned route on US41 to Fort Myers, we went North on FL#997 and got on I-75 and went West all the way to St. Pete's. I-75 is 70mph and the traffic just moves (no turn signals of course).We crossed over the beautiful Sunshine Skyway Bridge just as the sun set at 18:23, out of this world.
We are visiting my cousin Klaus and Diana who live in St. Petersburg. We went to dinner with them, at Captain Kosmakos, 9610 Gulf Blvd, Treasure Island, FL. (captainkosmakossteakhouse.com/ ) Nice seafood, and right on the water.
Sunshine Skyway Bridge looks like it would be interesting to ride over on a motorcycle. Return trip possibility prehaps? ;-)
