FL Coast Day 5: Sarasota

By Gaz under Bikes & Cars, Travel

Already 2 days behind schedule, and making a 400 mile detour to take in some of the Florida Gulf Coast (ostensibly to avoid some bad weather), Tave was keen to add a visit to Sarasota to our itinerary. Since the fast route back to Orlanda from Naples along the interstates took us within 10 [...]
