[EN] This was the first day of our six-day long trip to Florida. We drove to Naples on the west coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico to visit our German friends Helgard & Wingolf Mielke in Bonita Springs. Further plans were to visit the Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Dry Tortugas National Park, and the De Soto National Memorial. We stayed two nights in Naples, two nights on Key West, and one night in Ft. Myers.
