Orlando is only a few hours away from the spectacular Everglades national park and their famous Mangrove trees.\u00a0 If you fancy a break away from the theme parks and crowds\u00a0of Orlando you can easily head down to somewhere like Fort Myers or Everglades City to stay overnight and break up your holiday.\u00a0 Beware – alligators are a common sight!<\/p>\n

\"Alligators\"<\/a>

Alligator safety!<\/p><\/div>\n

As long as you are sensible and don’t go near the edge of any water, it’s more than likely that the alligators are more scared of you\u00a0than you are of them.\u00a0 Easy to say behind the safety of a keyboard, of course…..<\/p>\n

Everglades City<\/h2>\n

When we visited the Everglades we stayed at the Ivey House Bed and Breakfast in Everglades City: http:\/\/iveyhouse.com\/<\/a>. This is a well maintained bed and breakfast with friendly staff and a cosy feel.\u00a0 The rooms are small but clean, and the toilet facilities are interesting (see below!).<\/p>\n

Ivey House – small cubicles…<\/p><\/div>\n

Canoe through mangroves<\/h2>\n

The Ivey House organise fantastic canoe trips into the Everglades <\/a>and mangrove trees, and if you’re lucky you’ll see an alligator or two!\u00a0 The Everglades are very shallow, only a couple of feet deep, and canoeing \/ kayaking\u00a0through the mangroves was a fantastic experience, not one to be missed if you stay in the area.\u00a0 We ventured through some tiny tunnels in the mangroves, and probably visited some areas that very few people get to see.<\/p>\n

Everglades city is a fairly small community, quiet and tucked away.\u00a0 There are some nice restaurants and airboat rides to be had in the area.\u00a0 We couldn’t resist tucking into some gator, frog’s legs and conch fritters!<\/p>\n

\"gator\"<\/a>

Gator, Frog Legs, Conch?<\/p><\/div>\n

Last but not least, everyone has to have a ride in an airboat.\u00a0 These boats are propelled by an aeroplane\u00a0propeller\u00a0to avoid the situation whereby\u00a0a normal outboard gets clogged up with vegetation in the swamps, and they travel at high speed\u00a0through the mangroves, often performing some “acrobatic” manoeuvres\u00a0along the way.\u00a0 The guides are usually well versed in the history and nature of the Everglades, making for an educational as well as an exciting adventure.\u00a0 Not to be missed.<\/p>\n
