St Augustine - Update 3

Since we couldn't move today we used the Tourist Trolley Train to take a look at St Augustine.  I was frankly disappointed with the place.

One museum put pride of place to Jack Sparrow's sword from the movie!



The old Spanish fort was reasonably authentic and unspoiled.  The guy on the left is Eric from Lets Wet who is joining us on his boat down to Cocoa Beach.


St Augustine clearly has some interesting history which, for me, has been spoiled by blatant commercialism.  I realised later that Jon and I stayed here on the way up from Florida three years ago.  I don't think we realised at the time how close we were to the old town and its tourist area. Tomorrow we cast off for Daytona Beach.
