Florida Tour: Day Five, July 28, 2015

When I woke up, Andy had already left the room for morning coffee. I listened to the rain coming down, looked out the door at the wet motorcycles, went back to bed and slept another hour. Even then, we waited in the motel in Palatka, FL for another hour before the rain quit. On the radar there was one city in Florida with rain–Palatka.

We made friends with a couple traveling by motorcycle to Sanford. They were taking a train to Washington, D.C. planning to ride back to Florida on the Skyway through Virginia and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The train takes cars and motorcycles! We looked it up and seriously considered joining them. But we could not justify the cost ($700–$350 each). It is a sleeper car, but still that only saves one motel. Oh well, next year maybe.

We drove to St. Augustine in the dry. At the Visitor’s Center and Ripley’s Believe It or Not, we signed on to an on-and-off all day bus trolly tour with over 25 stops. It was great. All the pictures are from that tour except some special pictures at the end. Enjoy!
