The Keys

We drove across a whole lot of little islands on a road that was mostly made up of bridges. In some places the road was so narrow we could see the sea right beside us on both sides. One side was the Gulf of Mexico and the other one was the Atlantic Ocean. One bridge was 7 miles long!

At the end of the road was the southern most point in the whole of the United States in a place called Key West. In Key West we went to the toy factory and I bought a blue and yellow plane. We went on a train around the island and it was a bit of a rip off because we couldn't get off to see everything. There were lots of $5 shops. A lot of people rode around on bicycles with no helmets. Some people gave rides on the back of their bikes in a little cart.

On the way back up the Keys we went to Key Largo and I got to go shooting with a pistol.

On the way to Orlando we went the Kennedy Space Centre. I learnt that the last space shuttle to go into space was Atlantis. I saw the landing module from Apollo 11 when the first men went to the moon. We went in the shuttle lift off stimulator. It was fun as.
