Day 8: All good things must come to an end…but not before we see the Everglades!

Really??!?
It’s Saturday already?!?!
Where did the week go?

We hit the Windjammer for breakfast
And the Pearl Cafe for coffee one last time

Before disembarking the Icon…
And heading for one last excursion!
Our flights were moved to the evening
And with a whole day to kill,
We decided to check out the airboats in the Everglades

We look a bit tired

But we’re ready all the same!

We expected to get earplugs
But nope.
Our driver just took off
And it. Was. DEAFENING!

When he stopped to talk about the habitat around us,
It was a welcome relief!
And some lovely scenery.

We came across an alligator or two

Before we headed back to see LOTS of alligators
At the alligator rescue.

There was a show
Where this crazy guy
“Wrestled” them—
But they were surprisingly docile

They apparently have a reflex that makes them chomp down
So as long as you avoid that,
You are “safe.”
Whoa.  
No thanks.

Thankfully,
Our travel was unremarkable
And the crazy alligator man was the highlight of the day.

What a vacation.
Was it iconic?
Yes, absolutely.
