We decided to stop off at Key Largo so we could snorkel in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef state park. The website below can tell you more about it.

We had to pay to get in the park but could park up there and stay all day on the beaches. There is showers and toilets and a shop.
We booked our trip with the dive shop based in the park itself. Felt it was really good value. http://pennekamppark.com/
I absolutely love being on the water so was virtually guaranteed to enjoy the day. The snorkelling was excellent - a bit choppy so quite hard work. Was excited to snorkel over the Christ of the Abyss statue - a replica of the statue submerged in 1954 off Genoa as a memorial to sailors lost at sea.
I think I can safely say we both had a great day.
Tonight we went to the pictures (movies) to see the preview showing of Avengers - Infinity Wars (we both love our superhero films). We went to the cinema in Tavernier and watched the film in a screen that sat 135 people. That - for us - is a very small cinema (our average screens hold at least 250 people) and it felt like we had travelled back in time to a time before the large multi-screen cinemas existed. Another notable point for us was the popcorn. In the UK, in the cinemas we get to choose sweet, salty or sweet and salty popcorn. Here you get plain popcorn and then add oil and your choice of topping from the selection below
Needless to say - I didn't add any toppings - they seemed more appropriate to a salad dressing than a popcorn topping. We enjoyed the film though and loved the cinema.
