Our actual first day in Key West

I realise that my previous post about our first day in Key West a) didn't contain any info, b) had things from our second day on the map, and c) has slipped down the page and no-one will read it. So here at last is the first part of our journey. Clar...

Do you mean Roger De Haan?

Nice points though. I don't remember the Queens Hotel or the Pavillion, but I'm aware lovely old buildings have been lost.

I'm actually quite keen on the Burstin.

Lovely day today

Super bright on leaving Folkestone, just so sunny as to be unreal. Very cold though, and only going to get colder this week. Could see lots of stars clearly from bed last night (through the open blinds, no missing roof or anything) so it's possibly r...

Mushroom not so magic
