USA Tour 2001 back to USA index LOCATION: Saint Augustine (Florida).
DATE: 14/08/01. TIME: 09.30
We awake to discover that 'unlimited' pancakes await us. We scoff away.... TIME: 10.00
Relaxed once again, we decide that there is no point in catching the bus to the alligator farm, and therefore embark upon a 1.5 mile walk in scorching heat that takes us over the bridge and onto a small island. TIME: 11.30
The alligator farm is very entertaining. We both enjoy the reptile and alligator shows, although the attempts of the show master to crack jokes becomes rather tiresome. The 13.00 feeding of the wild creatures is very good, although the size of the rodents that are todays lunch is a worrying thought if we ever were to get lost in the wilds of Louisiana's swamp lands. Afterwards we once again decide to skip the bus and drag our deteriorating figures back to 'downtown' St. Augustine. TIME: 14.30
Having peered around the oldest building in the city, we commit ourselves to enhancing our knowledge of the US civil war by paying a visit to the Museum of American Military Weapons. This proves interesting, if not spectacular. TIME: 16.30
The heat finally emerges victorious over our weary bodies and an early siesta back at the hostel becomes inevitable. TIME: 20.00
After extensive talks with some young-looking Dutch birds, we brave a fierce thunderstorm to dine in a fine restaurant. Having no idea what to drink, we decide upon an array of seven varying ales, in half-pint measures, so by the end we are not really bothered about the escalating ferocity of the thunderstorm, despite it knocking the lights out in the restaurant, much to the amusement of a loud-mouthed redneck at the next table.
