Everglades National Park

Have you ever been to Everglades National Park? Let me tell you, it is worth a visit. It was really a highlight of our entire trip. This piece of nature is just spectacular. We saw many wild alligators on our way right next to the street.

 These animals are fascinating.

We entered via the southern section and drove across the park to Everglades City, where we took a boat tour through the mangrove forest.

This cute dolphin accompanied us a length of our boat trip.

Finally we entered a somehow hidden tunnel of the mangrove forest. We felt as stepping in to a different world, out of this earth. It was gorgeous, magical and pictures however don’t do it justice. It was quiet and you could only hear the birds sing and the water clashing at the boat. The branches hung low, so we had to crouch from time to time, luckily the boat had flexible chairs, made like this for the very reason.

This guy was waiting for us, sitting on our car.  

Once more we were lucky enough to see a beautiful sunset as we were heading to our next destination.
