Key West

On Wednesday we stopped at our first port in Key West for the day. We all decided to sign up for the Pub Crawl, which takes you to 5 of the best pubs in Key West and you get a free drink of your choice at each and a t-shirt.

Our tour guides name was Brian and he made the whole experience worth while...he was so funny and entertaining! (this was obviously not his first pub crawl for sure)He didn't take us to any of the well-known pubs like Sloppy Joe's or Margaritaville, instead he took us the where the locals go and the little hole in the wall places.

First pub we visited was a place called Durty Harry's. The specialty drink there was called a Caribbean Breeze-it was very yummy but also very strong. Did I mention that the Pub Crawl started at 10AM?! Oh yes, it was a long day!



Next, we went to a place called the Flying Monkey and they had the BEST strawberry daiquiri I have ever had in my life!


We stopped by a place called Schooner Wharf for a refreshing beverage and then it was on to the contest of the day...the conch blowing competition!



I don't have a picture of the actual contest but Brian said that whoever could blow his conch (as in conch shell for those of you whose minds are in the gutter)would win his beads. Well guess who won...yes you guessed it-the hubs won!!!! He's the best conch blower in town! (I know he will be pleased to know that this is how he made the blog today)!


Finally we stopped at the last 2 places, The Lazy Gecko for a yummy Rum Runner and Ricks to finish up the afternoon.



Mile Marker 0...kinda cool!


We walked around a little bit to see some more of this cute town and then it was time to get back on board. Overall, Key West was a great place to visit...I think we all decided that we want to go back on our next trip for sure. The next day we made our way over to the Bahamas, but that will have to wait for the next post!
