Flamingo Gardens

We ended our trip with a visit to Flamingo Gardens. It wasn't really filled with flamingos (but there were some), it was just the name of this nature preserve. It was really fun. There were a lot of animals and sub-tropical plants and fruit trees. It was a rather large place. We first took a tram tour and then walked around by ourselves for awhile. It was warm and sunny, too (and it wasn't the airport) - that was the best part!


The few flamingos that they had.


Some otters - they were really cute to watch!

A beautiful bald eagle. He was fun to watch - he was playing and splashing in the water. One of his wings had been amputated, so that's why he was in the preserve.

This video was taken inside the aviary. It was a large, completely open space, covered with a net, so the birds could be right in the open with you. Some of them were rather noisy, as you will see!

And, sadly, we went to the airport afterwards, and that's the end of our cruising days for awhile!
