Holiday Snaps: Orlando - Tampa - Naples - Everglades - Miami

[Wick]

Thought I'd chuck these here as a few people were interested. Nothing special, just holiday snaps. Mostly off TEG's old cheap lens had off him before I went very soft at 250+ lol but it did the job.

I was in Naples a few months back, beautiful place I love it. The crazy golf is awesome too

Naples is awesome, could have sat and whiled away hours watching rich Americans in classic muscle cars and Ferrari's all day long.

We did Miami then 13 nights chilling in Naples then back to Miami, I also like Sarasota and siesta key been there several times

 

[Wick]

We didn't stop their on our drive unfortunately... Miami was epic though, we had 4 nights in South beach, such a cool place.

Seeing as this is a car forum we also had a Nissan Sentra hire car.

We were going to opt for mustang or chevy but this was too cheap to ignore.

1.8 litres and 130 raging horses to control through the lazy autobox lol! Huge boot though, great for cheap shopping.

*There. Sorry, that was bugging me.

I manage a really nice house in Naples. I'm always there and the pier is one of my favourite places in the world.

That was from 2011, been 3 times there, going again next year as we are off to NY this year

Cheers guys.

Bet that was a fun flight.

Russ, not at all, some decent snaps in there. Lovely couple of the dolphins, bet your daughter loved that!

 

[Russ_16v]

She certainly did dude, was very lucky to get so close to them - we literally could reach out and touch them!

I adore the states, especially Florida

Miami is a fantastic place... i went last year for 4 nights...
Where did you stay?

We drove from Miami to orlando & back aswell in some form of Kia... easiest 4hr car journey ive ever done

 

[Wick]

We just had an apartment on south beach. Self catered as I knew I would want to eat out every night lol!

 

[JustinS]

we were in one of the retro ones on the promenade!! Was awesome!!

Expensive to eat out there, but so good....

were there any interesting events going on where you were tehre? we had some Dior model photoshoot going on outside hotel, was pretty crazy

 

[Wick]

We had a model shoot on the beach (no photos unfortunately) and the day after was the huge music festival they have. But no, we didn't go to any particular events.

Eta they were filming a us tv show whilst we were out there. Some scripted reality crap about a tow truck firm?! Like a cross between TOWIE and dog the bounty hunter lol!!

Food was awesome. Seafood and steak to put British restaurants to shame!
