Too bad that you didn't have bikes, it is a fantastic bike ride but at least you were able to walk some of it. We loved it there. <a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2008/03/alligators.html" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2008/03/alligators.html</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-66724986407513612862015-03-03T04:11:33.530-08:002015-03-03T04:11:33.530-08:00I know - they're entirely too laid back about ...I know - they're entirely too laid back about them :-)The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-72051299547329191412015-03-03T04:10:29.848-08:002015-03-03T04:10:29.848-08:00Hi Kerensa - we're not actually Kiwis.

I recently was talking to a chap who water skis. I asked him if he was fearful of the gators. His response, "Na. We just ski around 'em". I checked to see if he had all his appendages. He did. <br /><br />I think these people spend a little too much time in the sun.<br /><br />Mark<br /><br />Mark and Cindy<br />s/v Cream PuffMark and Cindy - s/v Cream Puffhttp://www.creampuff.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-67100989814403124722015-03-02T08:30:15.230-08:002015-03-02T08:30:15.230-08:00Oh, I don't know, Scott sounds like a lot of l...Oh, I don't know, Scott sounds like a lot of little boys I know.
