Hi, All the years we have been going to Florida and owning a villa we have yet to visit Cypress gardens, but had the following this week from a guest staying in our villa and thought it might be of interest.

With regard to wildlife I forgot to mention our visit to Cypress Lake and the airboat ride. Wow!! Sue, my dear wife, found this to be the absolute highlight and better than any theme park. We disturbed alligators and tracked then until they dived under the water, saw lots of birds including some massive eagles and buzzards plus fantastic dragon flies and seriously big insects. The lovely old guy who drove the vehicle remembered Florida before it became what it is today and it was a joy to talk to him. What a day we had.

We are over in September and think we will at last go and visit.
