Orlando, Florida (2012)

We have very fond memories of the English TV-show "Fawlty Towers" and were pleasantly surprised to see a motel with the same name in Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA. We did not go in to see if Basil Fawlty was present.

When we got to the beach at the Matanzas Inlet near St. Augustine in Florida, USA we were positively surprised to see it was almost deserted and that is exactly how we like beaches. We loved seeing this woman being all alone at the beach.

On our way to St. Augustine in Florida, USA we stopped at the Matanzas Inlet. Great boardwalk, but it was a really long way to the beach.

Nice fountain at the Columbia restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida, USA.

We were really in need of some coffee after strolling around in St. Augustine, Florida, USA. Luckily we stumbled upon this cute coffee place. Really small, but great cappuccino.

Lots of history and old houses in St. Augustine, Florida, USA. We really liked this house with its red weathered door.

Located at Mill Top Tavern just off St. George Street in St. Augustine, Florida is a working water wheel. The tavern is a renovated 19th century grist mill. Driven by a well at the bottom of the wheel water pumped up to the top to drive the wheel.

Being the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the USA, St. Augustine in Florida offers some really nice old buildings and streets. Most of those in the city centre have turned into little shops. This here is Kilwin's on Saint George Street.

Spending some time on the beach near St. Augustine in Florida, USA. We loved the early evening sun on this flock of seagulls passing by.

Early morning surfers on the beach near St. Augustine in Florida, USA. When making this photo I just noticed the seagulls in this amazing backlight. It was until later that I found out there were surfers in the water.

We noticed lots of pretty flowers in the dunes of St. Augustine, Florida, USA. It's clear why this one is named the Clitoria mariana :-)

Returning from the beach at St. Augustine in Florida, USA we took some time to admire nature and spotted these lovely pink berries.

While walking through the garden of our rented villa in Orlando, Florida I saw this beautiful small lizard on the fence. Just when I was about to take this photo it showed its beautiful colours.

We found this beauty in the garden of the villa we were staying at in Orlando, Florida. Surprised to see it with temperatures around 35 degrees Celcius.
