Palm Beach Day

One day this week, Trish and I decided to leave Animal Kingdom for the day and explore West Palm and Palm Beach itself.  To do this we took a Diva Duck Tour that promised us insight into both cities.  We were not disappointed.

First of all was the Diva Duck travel vehicle.  What started out as an F-350 Ford truck chassis was turned into an amphibious travel creature now boasting a hull, a double transmission (one for land and one for water) plus a 700 horsepower engine.

Our amphibious Diva Duck.

We rode high above the city streets while our guide told us stories of both past and present.  As we crossed the bridge from West Palm to Palm Beach all we could smell was MONEY!

Soon it was time to hit the water to travel the channel between both cities and look at them with a new vision and lots of new stories.  We saw many identified-owner houses.

As. close as we got to Palm Beach Country Club.

Last on the water was a visit to the mega-yacht harbor where we could, from our boat, watch the staff members who actually lived in these huge vessels full time enjoying them while the owners were away.

Can you imagine what it takes to maintain one of these, let alone pay for it!

After this trip, we were very glad to return to our little Airstream back at the campground and be very satisfied that it is all we have to take care of as a travel vehicle!
