Today we took a driving tour south. We stopped in Naples and checked out the city dock facilities where we will be staying once we leave Fort Myers Beach. We then headed to Marco Island – again we wanted to check out the various facilities that are available as we will be spending a couple of days there as well.
We then headed east on US- 41 so that we could take in an airboat ride in Everglades National Park. The airboat ride was lots of fun, mostly through mangrove trees. It is amazing how little water an airboat needs. There were times that we were skimming across water that was only inches deep. We also got to see a couple of alligators up close and personal.
