Key West Lighthouse

On our last day in Key West we visited the Lighthouse. It's 88 steps to the top and what a view when you get there!!

So peaceful and quiet at the top and great seeing all the local landmarks from this vantage point.

World of Beers

World of Beers in Key West has over 500 types of beer with over 50 available on draught.

I don't drink beer but I sampled a sweet raspberry sample - I think I had tasted this one before in Belgium. I then had a small glass of cider.

Ciaran had a glass of beer from Wisconsin - chosen by the bar tender after he asked for something light and summery.

Airport Beach Bar

Key West Airport - possibly the only airport in the world that has a beach area!!!

What a nice way to spend my last hour in Key West Florida!

Back in Dublin

Our plane has just landed in Dublin. It's 7am and grey grey.

This is the weather we left in Key West, Florida

Some difference!

Dogs with jobs

This dog has an important job to do - he picks up his owners lunch in the Old Town Bakery and carries it back to the house!

This dog sits on his owners moped as he makes sandwich deliveries all over the island of Key West.

Flaming Buoy Fillet Co. - Again!!

We love this place!

It's got such a great atmosphere - so Key West. We ate here on our first night in KW and it was the first restaurant that we chose to eat a second time on this trip.

On this occasion we chose from the Sumner Sampler/tapas menu.

We chose a salad, 3 taster plates and a dessert and a nice bottle of merlot.

Check out the delicious food that we ate tonight

The lobster Mac & cheese is probably their signature meal - it is so good - the pasta is cooked al dente, the lobster is sweet and tasty and it is smothered in good strong cheese. Worth visiting this restaurant for it!!

Then it was on to dessert!
