Caimans, Honduras, Belize and Cozumel

The Caiman Islands, Roatan in Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel City in Mexico

We had a blast on all the islands. My favorite was on the Belize reef, a tiny little island 30 by 80 meters with white sand, pelicans and turquise water so warm – it was 30 degrees!. The dolphins in Cozumel were super fun too, mom had to do research first to see if they are kept in good condition, but it looks like they pass mom’s test. We drove around Roatan in Honduras and were amazed how green and lush the island was.
So it was yet another amazing trip!!!

Legoland, Florida

We had a great time, if you do not count being attacked by the dreaded Darth Maul!
I felt like a little Lego person in the Lego world of bricks around me.
And it finally got warmer – see for yourself :)

Nasa; Kennedy Space Center, Florida

We really wanted to visit NASA on this trip, since I watched “Interstellar” and “The Martian” many times. I had the chance to have lunch with Astronaut Jerry Ross, the only astronaut to be in Space seven times!! We took a tour to the three platforms where the spaceships take off. We also saw the platform where the take off to Mars will take place! Now I have one mission – to convince my mom to come back in 2018 for the take off of the new spaceship “SLS”. It looks super sleek.

Florida, Everglades National Park

Everglades National Park Florida

A boat tour among dense mangroves was nothing compared to walking between alligator tails and vultures, which were eating rubber from our windscreens. Not sure who we were more scared of: alligators with open jaws or locals with gold teeth. (you can email mom for full details). An abundance of birds, mosquitos 😉 and inhabitats was impressive. Enjoy.

Florida, Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is one of the largest theme parks in the world.
There was nothing better than a Safari; we went twice as we were lucky as there were no line ups. It was nice seeing all the wildlife roaming on the savanna grass land, and us in a super cool safari track crossing rivers, driving on old squeaky bridges and through jungle. Animals are kept in very good conditions, with lots of space. I learned a lot about animals that are close to extinction and Animal Kingdom is putting lots of effort into repopulating them in their original countries.
We loved Expedition Everest, Maharajah Jungle Trek and Pangani Forest Exploration Trail with Gorillas. We learned that Gorillas have already had 7 babies in Animal Kingdom which is so impressive as breeding in captivity hasn’t been that successful in other places.
