GLADES OF GLORY

Åk västerut och utforska Florida Everglades, en otämjd flod av vass som täcker 890 hektar pittoreska våtmarker. Vare sig du tar en vild resa i en träskbåt eller plaskar runt i en träskbuggy kommer du att stöta på de alligatorer och vilda fåglar som frodas i Floridas vackra naturliga landskap.

Det lokala köket

Det går nästan inte att hitta en mer autentisk Fort Lauderdale-matupplevelse än att äta fisk och skaldjur direkt från fiskebåten på en av matställena vid vattenbrynet. Det lokala ”Floribien”-köket smälter samman Karibien- och Latinamerika-inspirerade smaker med lokalt fångad fisk, räkor och krabba. Surf-and-turf-restauranger täcker varenda millimeter av A1A längs stranden, medan de flesta restaurangerna utmed Las Olas har vita borddukar.
