Florida - the long version

Kategori: Allmänt

Florida. Do I even have to say anything else? Warm weather, nice beaches, no snow(!!!!) and good company. A brilliant place to go for springbreak! 
I went to a little island outside of Florida, Sanibel Island. It is a beautiful island with a lot of nice beaches and the island it self is really flat so you could bike almost anywhere without a hill. It is quite some distance between everything though. From the place we rented our bikes it was 7 miles (11 km)  to the place we were staying. We were not really ready for that kind of distace in that kind of heat, and of course we biked 2 miles out of our path and we did not realize that until it was too late. That day we biked non-stop for 2 and a half hours which kind of sucked, but we had fun doing it! 
The first day we got there it was kind of cloudy and not that sunny but we live in Michigan and have not seen anything else then snow for the last like 4 months so we decided to go lay by the pool, and guess what. I got burnt. Kind of bad. I had a necklace on and when I took it off it had made my neck white where I had my necklace. I was soooo red and it hurt so bad. I was not happy with myself but still pleased with being in Florida!
 
We watched tons of sunsets during our time in Florida, they are really amazing because one second the sky can be orange and the other it can be all firey! Here are some pictures from the sunsets we watched:
 
 
Of course we've been at the beach a lot and I unfortunately don't have many pictures at all from there but here comes three..:
 
 
One of the day we went to my host-dad's friends and they lived in a really nice house with a pool right out on their porch. Here are some pictures from the pool and the house!
 
 
Soooo much fun playing around in the pool! Love my GoPro too!
 
One of the day we went kayaking and that was a lot of fun! We rented kayakes and went for a ride. The place we rented from had like a path you followed in the woods and it was super cool becuase you could see all these cool animals like birds and starfish. Here are some pictures:
 
 
 
 
This spring break has been a lot of fun! We've laughed a lot and just had a good time. I still have some pictures left that I am just going to put here:
 
 
I hope you're having a good time at home! I'll talk to you later!

Hi guys!
So right now I'm in Florida with my host family and were havin a great time! I'm going to write about my trip when I get home so for now, here are some pictures from my phone from what we've been doing the last couple days! 
On our way to sanibel island, were we are staying, I saw this guy and decided to take a selfie with him. 

The pool by our house.

Beautiful little shortcut to the beach.

I've been taking a lot of pictures of sun sets because the are truly amazing!


We've been spending some time at the beach to play around and to work on our tan of course! Borrowed my host moms hat on this pic!
Me and my host sister chillin' on the beach. 

Best. Shop. Ever. 

Cool little store, try to say it fast!

Little gator we found in a swamp. Cute, but lethal. 

My host dads friends house. A pool inside, pretty damn nice. 
And again, the sunsets are amazing and beautiful!


Okey that was all for now! Stay tuned for more pictures from my spring break that's coming up here on the blog later!
