00:00Woo-hoo!
00:02The Hammonds are here!
00:05Travel is in my blood.
00:07Let's go!
00:08This is the best!
00:09For years I worked as a tour rep,
00:11following in the footsteps of my dear lovely mob,
00:14a hard-working, no-nonsense travel agent.
00:17Thanks to our money-saving tips,
00:19we managed to budget our way to a place that totally captured our hearts.
00:23Look at this! Look at this!
00:25Florida!
00:26I love it!
00:27I was born for Little Havana.
00:30And now the Sunshine State is a big draw for me...
00:33Sorry, I stood on your foot.
00:35...and my son, Aidan.
00:37Good job, y'all.
00:38You see you, mate?
00:39Yeah.
00:41But with holiday prices rising...
00:43Oh, my goodness. I'm in heaven.
00:46...can you do Florida...
00:48...without breaking the bank?
00:50$4.99 for these.
00:52Oh, yes, Aidan!
00:54Oh, yes!
00:55Help you, Mum.
00:56Otherwise, just get out.
00:58It's the best day of my life.
01:09This journey's just getting better and better, isn't it?
01:11It is what we do now.
01:12Today, we're living life on the wild side in the Florida Keys.
01:16This is paradise with a capital P...
01:21...on a budget, of course.
01:23Woo!
01:24The Florida Keys are a mega chain of over 1,700 tiny islands...
01:30...stretching from Key Largo all the way down to Key West.
01:34Look at that little island, Aidan.
01:36Why don't we buy that?
01:37They call it Hans Island.
01:39You can literally walk across it in five minutes.
01:41Literally.
01:42Let's go for a walk, Aidan.
01:44We're there.
01:46Look at that!
01:47Oh, shit!
01:48There's one road taking you all the way through the Florida Keys.
01:55U.S. Route 1.
01:57The Overseas Highway.
01:58This ain't the M42, babes.
02:01This is as scenic as a motorway gets.
02:04Kind of like you're driving over the ocean.
02:07Oh, this is the bridge, babes!
02:09This epic bridge is one of the most iconic in America.
02:13Now, this is what you call a bridge.
02:18You would have seen it in movies, on TV, even cartoons.
02:22The famous Seven Mar Bridge.
02:25Do you remember this bridge?
02:26You've definitely seen this bridge.
02:28I've seen Tom Cruise on the road, I think.
02:30Yeah.
02:31Was he driving a bit of...
02:32Yeah.
02:33Arnold Schwarzenegger has been on this bridge.
02:34Bond has been on this bridge.
02:35Really?
02:36No.
02:37Aidan Hammond.
02:38Do you remember this bridge?
02:40It's all about the Hammonds today.
02:42Yes, it is.
02:43It's not really our own movie.
02:45It is.
02:46Hollywood, here we come.
02:47I mean, it is a good-looking bridge.
02:49It's beautiful, isn't it?
02:50Good.
02:53Of all the 42 bridges through the Florida Keys,
02:56this one's the longest.
02:58In fact, it's the longest bridge in the whole of Florida.
03:03But the bridge we're driving along now
03:05is actually the Seven Mar Bridge rebooted.
03:09Replacing the one that was originally here as a railroad,
03:12until it was destroyed.
03:15Look, that is what was really in the hurricane.
03:17In the hurricane, yeah, yeah.
03:18Look at that bridge.
03:20Wow.
03:21I wonder if people can still walk across it, eh?
03:23There's danger, keep clear.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Actually, just say danger.
03:26Did you say that?
03:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:28There's more bridge, Agden.
03:29Actually, you can't use it anymore.
03:31Look at it.
03:32Hurricane killed that.
03:37I do like a good bridge.
03:38You like a good bridge?
03:39I do.
03:41If the TV work ever dried up,
03:43I reckon I'd fancy myself as an engineer.
03:46Bridges.
03:48There's one way to tell you in Florida's far south,
03:57and that's the temperature.
04:00It's hot, man.
04:01Why is this not cold?
04:04Americans tend to avoid the Keys in the height of summer
04:07because of the extreme heat and humidity,
04:10which makes it a good time to grab a bargain.
04:14And with its laid-back, beachy vibe
04:17and big water sports scene,
04:19there's plenty of opportunity to call off.
04:21Lovely little beach there, eh?
04:25My lovely mum would have loved this.
04:27The Florida Keys are a wild wonder,
04:30just waiting to be explored.
04:33So that's what we're going to do, Bobs.
04:35So for this adventure, we're going to enjoy the journey
04:40rather than concentrating on the destination.
04:42I like that.
04:43You know, even my Nan,
04:44she always loved a nice journey.
04:46She always wanted to do road trips around everywhere.
04:48She did.
04:49Yeah, I definitely think Nanny was the sort of person,
04:51if you have an orange,
04:52she's the one who sucked all the juice out of it.
04:54You know, every last bit, a drop of juice,
04:57she'd suck it out on anything,
04:59any holiday that we went on.
05:00She would, yeah,
05:01and she'd always encourage us to do more
05:03and try different things.
05:04Yeah.
05:05You up for it?
05:06I'm up for it.
05:07Let's do it, Bobs.
05:10We're going to go wild, babes,
05:12because in these parts,
05:14wildlife is where it's at.
05:18On land and sea.
05:23This archipelago of tropical islands
05:25is home to an abundance of unique and exotic creatures.
05:29turtles, dolphins, alligators, to name a few.
05:34Look at that.
05:36Look at the chickens on this road.
05:39So me and AIDS are going to go on a Florida safari.
05:43But not before we've got something to eat.
05:48All this road tripping has got me ravenous.
05:51So what are we going to do now, Mum?
05:53Let's get some food.
05:54Yeah, I fancy some food.
05:56It'll not be fish, though.
05:58I'll try.
06:01OK.
06:03Could be tricky.
06:05If you want to eat cost-effectively in these parts,
06:08then you've got to eat like the locals.
06:10Which means one thing.
06:12Seafood.
06:13We've headed to the island of Marathon for some much-needed grub.
06:22But we haven't even got to the restaurant
06:24and the safari has already started.
06:28So cute.
06:29Look at that.
06:30There's four of them.
06:31Hell yeah.
06:32They're so lovely.
06:34They're so docile, aren't they?
06:36Yeah, yeah, they are.
06:38They're the cutest things ever.
06:41Manatees, or sea cows, as the locals call them,
06:45are warm, water-loving, slow and gentle giants
06:49native to Florida.
06:51It's amazing, isn't it?
06:53Mm-hm.
06:54They're huge.
06:55So big.
06:57Closely related to elephants,
06:59these aquatic mammals are legendary in these parts,
07:02and I can see why.
07:04Oh, they're so lovely.
07:05It's coming over, look.
07:07It's coming to say hello.
07:08Unbelievably, these guys can hold their breath underwater
07:13for about 20 minutes,
07:15and warm water is a must for manatees.
07:18With minimal fat protection from cold water,
07:21they like water that is 60 degrees or warmer.
07:25Sounds like me.
07:26I want to ride on top of one of them.
07:28I wonder what they eat.
07:30Well, seagrass apparently hates.
07:36A single manatee might eat 100 pounds of seagrass in one day.
07:41That's around 10% of their body weight.
07:45You hungry?
07:46I am hungry.
07:47Let's go eat. Come with them.
07:48Come with them.
07:52Well, hey there.
07:53Always making me a cocktail already.
07:56Absolutely. How are you?
07:57How you doing, John?
07:58Good, thank you. How are you?
07:59I'm doing great. Nice to see you both.
08:00Nice to see you too.
08:01Welcome.
08:03Almost as legendary as manatees,
08:06Castaway is a Florida Keys restaurant
08:08serving local seafood run by fisherman and diver John.
08:13Have we just seen the manatees?
08:15What did you think of that?
08:16Oh, they're so gorgeous.
08:17They're massive, aren't they?
08:18They're awesome.
08:19The biggest, most beautiful, gentle mammals out there.
08:21So, so nice.
08:22And they're just staying around your restaurant?
08:23They just hang out here.
08:24They love yours.
08:25They like the food.
08:27It's got to be good food then.
08:28Got to be.
08:30Being on the water,
08:32the restaurant cooks up the usual suspects,
08:35but John's got a bigger fish to fry.
08:38Lionfish.
08:40A carnivorous fish native to the Indo-Pacific
08:43that is now an invasive species
08:46in the seas around the Florida Keys.
08:49How would you like to try some lionfish?
08:51Yes, please.
08:52Yeah?
08:53I don't know about me, but...
08:54I'm talking to you.
08:55Wait, wait, wait.
08:56I'm actually talking to you.
08:57He doesn't eat fish.
08:58I'm all right.
08:59I'm not a fish eater, but she'll love it.
09:00Oh, I don't think he's going to go for it, Bab.
09:03If you can make him eat fish,
09:05I'll buy you restaurant.
09:06I am down.
09:09Let's go.
09:11I am joking, obviously.
09:14I've been trying to get Aiden to eat fish like forever.
09:18And it's just not happening.
09:20So I think my money is safe.
09:22If the Lionfish King can get my Aiden to eat seafood,
09:26it would be the miracle of Marathon.
09:28It's an unnatural fish in our environment here.
09:31Yeah.
09:32Where they're from in the Indo-Pacific,
09:34we think they have a natural predator that eats the roe.
09:37Right.
09:38But here, it doesn't look like the fish that the fish here are used to seeing,
09:41so we don't have a natural predator other than humans.
09:44Wow.
09:45That's a good Lionfish.
09:46It is.
09:47It is.
09:48Whoever gets that, they're going to have a lot of meat.
09:49Look at that.
09:50Look at all those venomous spines right there.
09:52Oh, wow.
09:53Let's have a look.
09:54There's still venom in there.
09:55Really?
09:56There's still venom in there.
09:57If we get them hot, then it deactivates the venom.
10:00Each Lionfish has venomous spines, and on the biggest ones,
10:05they can be several inches long.
10:09So, these spines, they're like glass needles.
10:15Wow.
10:16Okay.
10:17And don't stick yourself with that, but hold it,
10:21and take your fingernail, and you'll find there are two grooves
10:25running the length of the spine, about the thickness of a fingernail,
10:31and in each of those grooves is the gland that has the venom on it.
10:36I was going to give her a little bit.
10:38It's proper like a needle, isn't it?
10:40Oh, yeah.
10:41So, really, other than that, there's nothing else to be worried about
10:44with this fish.
10:45The rest of it's just yummy goodness.
10:47Beautiful white meat.
10:50And you were the first one to serve this in your restaurant.
10:54I was definitely the first one to serve it in this restaurant,
10:57but I'm pretty sure I was the first one to serve it in a restaurant.
11:00Really?
11:01Wow.
11:02So, what, you just looked, you opened up the fish,
11:03you thought, this is good meat.
11:04I got a rule, and the rule is, if we kill it, we eat it.
11:09So, we had to eat it.
11:11Turns out it tastes good.
11:12Yeah.
11:13It's mild.
11:15It's sweet.
11:16Look at that.
11:17So, what, do you now season that?
11:18What do you do?
11:19We're going to make a sushi roll.
11:21Okay.
11:22And we're going to make some fried, so we can have some cooked,
11:26and have some raw.
11:27You can have some cooked, you can have some raw.
11:30She can have some cooked, she can have some raw.
11:33I'm going to bring my seven-year-old over here,
11:35and he's going to make you eat some fish.
11:38Can we do that?
11:39Because I want to sell the restaurant to your mum.
11:41Yeah.
11:42I think John might have bitten off more than he can chew.
11:46So, should we do this?
11:47Let's do it.
11:48Let's do it.
11:49Alright, here we go.
11:50Stew, I'm headed your way.
11:52If you're anyone but Aidan, sushi is a great way to try limefish in a smaller and cheaper portion.
11:59The locals say it has a similar buttery flavour to other native fish, like snapper and mahi-mahi.
12:07Hey, Ian.
12:08Ian.
12:09Hi, Ian.
12:10Why don't you come up here and meet Alison and Aidan?
12:14Hey.
12:15Lovely to meet you.
12:16Hi.
12:17Good to meet you.
12:18Hi.
12:19So, tell us about your dad.
12:20What's so special about him?
12:21Is he cool?
12:22He owns this restaurant.
12:23Yeah.
12:24He owns this restaurant.
12:25So, one day this restaurant is going to be your restaurant.
12:27Do you think you can look after it?
12:29What did we do on Saturday?
12:31Saturday?
12:32What did we do last Saturday?
12:34We went lobstering and I caught my first lobster.
12:37Stop it.
12:38Did you cook that lobster?
12:40It was too small.
12:41It was a little one.
12:42How big was it?
12:43Show me.
12:44How big?
12:45Nice.
12:46My little diver.
12:48Okay, our limefish platter is up.
12:50There's a lot resting on this.
12:52Oh, look at this.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Oh, look, you've got the face on it.
12:55And the tail.
12:56There you go.
12:57That's the lionfish king of the jungle role.
12:58Wow.
12:59That is something incredible, isn't it?
13:00Look at that, Aidan.
13:01Yeah, too.
13:02Say, hi, Aidan.
13:03When you get your meat, your meal.
13:04Aidan doesn't look impressed, does he?
13:05Okay, you go first then, Ian.
13:06Oh, yes.
13:07Go on.
13:08He's straight in there.
13:09He's straight in there.
13:10He's not messing around.
13:11Oh, he's not.
13:12I've never eaten a limefish lunch before, but there is a first time for everything.
13:17I'm just getting involved.
13:18I'm going to do what you did, Ian.
13:19Tell me what it's like.
13:20Tell me what it's like.
13:21Get it all in the mouth.
13:22Just get it in there.
13:23Mmm.
13:24Good.
13:25Now that fish was swimming this morning.
13:27Oh my god.
13:28And now it's swimming in my mouth.
13:29That is delicious.
13:30It tastes like the ocean.
13:31Not fishy at all.
13:32But it's like the ocean.
13:33Not fishy at all.
13:34But it's just fishy.
13:35I've never eaten a limefish lunch before, but there is a first time for everything.
13:39I'm just getting involved.
13:40I'm going to do what you did, Ian.
13:41Tell me what it's like.
13:42I'm going to get it all in the mouth.
13:43Just get it in there.
13:44Mmmmm.
13:45Good.
13:46Now that fish was swimming this morning.
13:47Oh my god.
13:48Now it's swimming in my mouth.
13:49That is delicious.
13:50It tastes like the ocean.
13:52It tastes like the ocean, not fishy at all.
13:55The big question is, will Aidan give it a go?
13:58So, I can't get you to try some fish today.
14:02No, sorry. If you've got any chicken tenders, though, that'll do well.
14:04Chicken tenders. Chicken tenders.
14:06Eat! Eat!
14:08I'm saving it all for you, kiddo. You can have it.
14:10I love the fact that your seven-year-old is trying to talk my 19-year-old into eating this thing.
14:15I love that. Eat now. Eat it.
14:19No miracles here, then.
14:22Thank you so much for this. This is amazing.
14:24Absolutely. And thank you for talking to us. It's been amazing.
14:27My pleasure. My pleasure.
14:30Well, all I can say is Aidan is missing out on lionfish.
14:34But at least I won't have to sell everything I own to buy a seafood restaurant halfway across the world.
14:40I've just literally had a fish egg in my mouth and I've just popped it.
14:44Eww.
14:45I wish you had tried it just to see. You should have just, like, tried it to see if you really don't like it.
14:50But honestly, with all the sauces and everything that's together, oh, it's delicious, man.
14:56The other bonus to eating lionfish, we are helping to preserve the incredible marine life here in the Florida Keys.
15:02The Florida Keys are home to North America's only coral barrier reef and more than 40 species of reef-building coral.
15:13It's alive with an abundance of sea life.
15:16Isla Mirada, a cluster of six of the Florida Keys, is known as the sporting fish capital of the world.
15:28It's in a unique location between the Bay of Florida and the Atlantic Ocean.
15:33So the marine life is some of the most diverse, which means boat trips are big business.
15:40You can join one for a snorkel or a more expensive scuba dive.
15:45Morning, guys. Morning. Morning.
15:47Or the cheapest and driest option, which we're doing, just go along for the ride.
15:53Lovely day for it.
15:54Here on the water. Yay!
15:57If you look around and organise a head like we did, you can bag a boat trip for free.
16:04Woo! Let's do it.
16:06Woo-hoo! Yeah!
16:12And beneath the surface here are some of the best coral reefs and shipwrecks in the whole of the USA.
16:18But recreational divers, Cassandra, Michael and their buddies, Marilyn and Doug,
16:25aren't just here to leisurely look at the sea life today.
16:28They're actually trying to save it.
16:33Because deep below, it's not all sunshine and smiles.
16:40The reef fish here are being invaded and eaten by lionfish.
16:45So, Cassandra, I can see why you do this, first of all.
16:52The view, the day, it's an absolutely beautiful thing to do.
16:56But, first of all, how did the lionfish even get here?
16:59They're not 100% sure, but they really think it's from the aquarium trade.
17:03You know, people put these fancy, beautiful fish in their aquariums
17:06and they don't really know much about them.
17:07So, when you have someone who doesn't know much about fish
17:10or the impact that they create on their environment,
17:12you know, they're like, oh, there's this lionfish ate all my reef fish in my tank.
17:16I'm going to throw it in the ocean, you know.
17:18So, that's how they think it came here.
17:20And they've just rapidly spread a little bit each time.
17:24And now they're found all the way up into the waterways of New York City,
17:29into the Mediterranean, and all the way down to Brazil.
17:32So, this is really vital work, what you're doing.
17:35Yes, it sure is.
17:37They're just uncontrollably repopulating.
17:40The females, they can disperse up to 30,000 to 50,000 eggs every two to three days.
17:47And they have no natural predators here, so there's nothing that's eating them.
17:51Oh, my goodness.
17:52So, we're seeing lower reef fish numbers
17:54and that's drastically impacting the health of our corals and sponges and everything.
18:00In an effort to control the explosion of lionfish in these waters,
18:06Cassandra and her crew dive down to hunt the predators.
18:10There is never going to be no more lionfish,
18:12but we can at least keep it under control
18:14by hunting them through recreational diving.
18:19The more local divers who get involved with catching the lionfish,
18:23the more effective their efforts.
18:25So, here, it's become a sport.
18:27With a big derby contest taking place each year.
18:31When we do these derbies, we're removing, you know,
18:341,500, 2,000 lionfish at a time
18:36and each time that we do it,
18:38we are seeing less numbers on the reefs that we dive,
18:41which is amazing because we are making an impact.
18:44But these predators can be hard to find.
18:47So, Michael and the team are trying to work out
18:50where the lionfish are currently lurking.
18:54So, what we're doing here today, then, we're scouting for fish.
18:57Correct.
18:57Okay, we dive these areas pretty often,
18:59but a lot of the times the lionfish are moving
19:01or other people may have come and already fished them out of an area.
19:04So, we spend today going out and checking out the reef structure,
19:07checking out some areas where we've known the fish to be before.
19:10So, excited to see what we might come across today.
19:13So, how do you communicate down there?
19:14We communicate with hand signals
19:17and so, the fish that we're going after today is lionfish.
19:21So, we give this symbol.
19:23And if you have a really big lionfish, you're going to go...
19:27Whoa!
19:28Shh!
19:29See?
19:30You give some enthusiasm with it.
19:33Now it's the way to see what they've found.
19:36This isn't exactly finding Nemo.
19:39I bet they've had some good times.
19:41I reckon.
19:42How many fish do you reckon they've got?
19:43I reckon they've got two...
19:44There they are.
19:45There they are.
19:48Well done!
19:49We're here!
19:52Doug and Marilyn have finally resurfaced with their catch.
19:57So, this is what you caught, Marilyn?
19:59Yeah, between Doug and I.
20:01I can tell you one thing.
20:03Lionfish taste way better than they look.
20:05See, their bellies are very big.
20:08So, there's a good chance that there's egg sacs in there
20:10or other fish in their stomachs.
20:13So, they don't know when to stop eating, do they?
20:15They never stop.
20:16They just...
20:16They actually have fatty livers because they never quit eating.
20:20Really?
20:20They gorge themselves.
20:23What they've caught here today may be just a drop in the ocean.
20:26But it's vital work for the future of the incredible marine life in these waters.
20:32And I'm really glad me and Aidan have had the opportunity to take part.
20:36And it was free!
20:37Thank you, guys.
20:40Thank you so much for letting us come.
20:41You're so very welcome.
20:45You know what?
20:46It's so nice being out here on the ocean.
20:49You can't come to the Keys and not get out on the water.
20:52We are back on the highway, heading south to continue our wild road trip.
21:01I enjoyed that, you know.
21:02Do you know what?
21:03What a lovely bunch of people.
21:05It was actually really nice.
21:06So, so good.
21:07It's made me want to start diving.
21:09What about you?
21:09Yeah, I really want to go back and do my, like, diving course.
21:12Paddy.
21:12Is that what it's called?
21:13You want to do your paddy, yeah?
21:14It was actually quite magical today.
21:15They said it was a really nice day to do what we did today.
21:18Yeah, yeah, you couldn't get better.
21:22We've reached the lower keys,
21:24the largest of which is the wonderfully named Big Pine.
21:29This island is known for being the best for nature lovers.
21:33Nice little road, isn't it?
21:35These little houses.
21:36I love the little post boxes on the side.
21:40So cute.
21:43There's a noticeable change to the landscape here.
21:46More rugged and wild.
21:48Deer, you've got to be careful.
21:49What's the other deer running across?
21:52Deer are here.
21:54Thanks, dear.
21:56These little beauties are primarily found here on this little island.
22:02Key deer, or toy deer as they're known,
22:05are tiny compared to the ones we're used to seeing.
22:07So keep your eyes peeled, and like me, these girls are shy.
22:13Look at that deer.
22:14Oh, yeah.
22:16Look at the little deer.
22:18Do you know what?
22:19Shall we go up there just to have a look?
22:21Yeah, let's have a little look at the deer.
22:23Where's your camera?
22:23Oh, he's beautiful, isn't he?
22:28Getting a little bit to you.
22:32Isn't he lovely?
22:35Oh, how lovely is this?
22:37Part of our journey.
22:38You see, you never know what you're going to see, do you?
22:44Oh, Bambi.
22:45Ever since I saw that movie as a kid, I've always loved these animals.
22:49Get some nice shots.
22:50Yeah, I've got nice.
22:51Oh, I could cry, the little deer.
22:55So beautiful.
22:57I feel like I'm in a safari park.
23:00Another one right there.
23:02Oh, my God.
23:02Hi, you little beautiful one.
23:08Oh, he's so gorgeous.
23:10Look how close he is to be.
23:13Look at that one.
23:14What one?
23:15Oh, yeah?
23:16Oh, he's beautiful.
23:17Yeah.
23:19He's going right up to the car, man.
23:21He's not afraid, is he?
23:23Hey, mate.
23:24No.
23:25Hey, mate.
23:26I've never seen one that close at the end.
23:28No, neither.
23:30Well, that little moment was dear to my heart.
23:35Off we go.
23:36That was good, wasn't it?
23:38Yeah.
23:38This is the best journey of my lives.
23:44Our Florida Keys safari is nearing its end,
23:47but there's one last stop we have to make,
23:50and I've been told it's pretty wild.
23:54What are you doing now?
23:55Wow.
23:56We are off to a pub with no name, babes.
24:00A pub with no name?
24:01No, literally, it's got no name.
24:03Do you mean a pub with no name?
24:05Exactly that.
24:05And that's the name of the pub?
24:07Yeah.
24:09No, but it's the name of a pub,
24:11a pub with no name, or hand it out.
24:12It's got no name.
24:14Yeah, I get it,
24:15but does it actually not have an A?
24:17No.
24:21But we've got to find it first.
24:25This is right back and beyond, isn't it?
24:31This place is so off the beaten track,
24:34it's almost like it doesn't want to be found.
24:36Where is it?
24:38Right, right, right, right, right.
24:41Why are you not listening?
24:42Why are you not listening?
24:43Right, go around there.
24:45Right here.
24:46Yeah, you're good, you're good, you're good.
24:47Nice.
24:48Left, slow down, slow down.
24:54The sat-nav thinks we're getting closer.
24:57500 feet, 400 feet, 300 feet, 200 feet.
25:02It's roundy, isn't it?
25:03100 feet, and left, left, left, left, left.
25:06Careful.
25:07Over there.
25:15I have no idea where we are.
25:20Right, look for the pub in the room, eh, bub?
25:22It is.
25:25You found it.
25:28Finally.
25:29Come on then, let's do it.
25:30It might look nothing special on the outside,
25:40but this is actually one of the quirkiest landmarks in the Lower Keys.
25:45And we are here to leave our own mark.
25:50Let me tell you about this place.
25:51Now, people from all over the world come here on their journey
25:55and they sign a dollar bill and then they hang it up.
25:58So, do you fancy signing a dollar?
26:00Yeah, let's do it.
26:00I think I've got some dollars.
26:02You know, I've always got some dollars in here, bub.
26:05The idea is to add a pearl of wisdom.
26:08I'm going to put a day's wasted without laughter.
26:13Alison, Florida, unpacked.
26:15Something life-affirming.
26:17I've read I loved my journey.
26:20A-davond.
26:20Do you know what's so lovely is now we're going to hang these up in the pub.
26:24Yeah.
26:24No matter what happens.
26:26We're going to be there.
26:27Our journey will live on forever.
26:30Bill, let's go and hang it up.
26:34Now, brace yourselves.
26:35This is proper Americana.
26:38A lot of money has gone into these interiors.
26:41In fact, they say there's around $90,000 stapled to these walls.
26:46A tradition that's been going on since the 1970s.
26:52Where do you think?
26:54I think up here.
26:55Over here?
26:56This will be great, yeah.
26:57All right, I'll go first.
26:58Are you going over Hayley?
26:59Yeah.
26:59Sorry, Hayley.
27:01There you go.
27:02I'm going to go here.
27:05There we go, darling.
27:06Thanks, Rob.
27:07High five.
27:07Yay!
27:08We're here forever now.
27:10Everyone can see our journey.
27:13It's one way to leave a tip.
27:15A dollar well spent, I say.
27:18Oh, that's good, isn't it?
27:19I enjoyed that.
27:20Me too.
27:20Let's go.
27:23We've definitely left our mark on the Florida Keys.
27:26And as the light starts to fade across the ocean,
27:29it's a moment for us to reflect on a budget-friendly day here in the Keys.
27:37Do you know what?
27:38I've really enjoyed this journey.
27:40What about you?
27:41Yeah, I really loved the boats.
27:44That was brilliant, wasn't it?
27:45Yeah.
27:45Spear fishing.
27:46Loved that.
27:47Yeah.
27:47Really loved that.
27:48It inspired me to get my paddock.
27:49Woo!
27:50Woo-hoo!
27:51Yeah!
27:54I enjoyed the deer.
27:55Yeah.
27:56On the way here, on the journey,
27:57stopping off and seeing how beautiful they were.
27:59Oh, I could cry.
28:00A little deer.
28:02Did you enjoy the food?
28:04Oh, I really enjoyed John.
28:05Mmm!
28:07That is delicious.
28:08My pleasure.
28:09My pleasure.
28:11Do you know what?
28:11I've enjoyed everything.
28:12Going over that bridge,
28:13that was absolutely beautiful.
28:18It's just been an absolute dream.
28:20It really has.
28:23All of that,
28:24and we didn't break the bank vibes.
28:26And we didn't break the bank vibes.
28:26The wish.
28:27We'll be right there.
28:27Let's see you guys.
