2007 Adventures My dream adventure - To motorcycle across the USA!

Day 5 - Everglades, Air Boats and Aligators!

USA | Monday, 22 October 2007 | Views [497]

Everybody said to check out the Everglades.  So today I went to the Aligator Park on the edge of the Everglade wetlands.  Took an Air Boat ride.  Supercool!  They use 400hp 6 litre V8's and Leeroy our pilot reckons they are good for 60-70mph when unloaded.  And man are they loud.  We all had to use ear plugs.  They sound exactly like and as loud as a Cesna 210 taking off - L O U D ! ! !

The Everglades are incredibily flat and just full of swappy ponds and completely full of Aligators.  These things were every where, even on the side of the road as I was riding down to the park.
