Day 9 – Key West, FL - Saturday Feb 5, 2011
Today with only 80km to go to Key West we decided not get up at 6am but instead take our time, we did as we did not depart from Marathon to 10:25am, and that includes re-loading the car, and taking the bike out of the trailer and hooking up the radio equipment.
I would say that the highlight of the days ride (for me) was crossing 7 mile bridge and seeing the parallel old railroad bridge with its stone arches, of which most are intact, despite the hurricane damage of 1935 which shut down the railroad after about 23 years of operation.
We got to Key West right at 12 noon, the motorcycle ride was a fantastic 160km from Key Largo to here, it is one of those epic motorcycle adventures for sure.
After lunch on Duval Street, we toured the downtown of Key West, bought some groceries and retired to our condo for the evening of watching the sun set in west with wine of course.
We have no internet in the condo, so these postings will not be daily, but then again we are not moving from place to place either.
Ken and Karen now in Key West, FL for the next two weeks
