Key West Vlog | Amerika’nın En Güney Ucu | 42 Köprü 2 Okyanus

Key West Vlog | Amerika’nın En Güney Ucu | 42 Köprü 2 Okyanus

In this video, we’re heading to the southernmost point of America. Welcome. Good morning. We’re currently in Islamorada. Actually, that’s a slightly different pronunciation. It should be something like Islamorada. It’s like Islamorada, but I call it Islamorada. And here, the first thing we see is this 9-meter-tall lobster statue. It’s a souvenir shop right by the road. It attracts everyone’s attention. People often stop here to take photos, buy souvenirs, and then move on. We’re setting off now. We don’t want to be late. It’s 9:28. Let’s continue quickly then. We’re currently traveling along this highway, known as Highway 1. It’s one of the most impressive and photogenic roads in the world. This approximately 182-kilometer road connects 44 islands via 42 bridges. Thanks to this bridge, we’re crossing from one island to another. For example, on our left is the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Florida, while on our right is the Gulf of Mexico, now known as the Gulf of America. And there are many small islands here. As you can see, there are many islands ahead. There are many islands, both inhabited and uninhabited. But of course, on the way to Key West, we’re heading towards Key West, along with 42 bridges connecting 44 islands. Why are we doing this Key West route? Because it’s a route that’s on everyone’s bucket list. Key West is America’s southernmost point, its southernmost tip. So, since we’re in Florida, we wanted to do this route and see these roads and these places. The views are quite nice right now, just from the road. It’s just a one-way street, and it’s actually quite far. So, when we tried to get here from Miami, we set off at 6 a.m., which took us around three hours. It’s now 9:50 a.m. and we still haven’t arrived. It looks like we’ve got about an hour and 37 minutes to go. So, it’s a long route. They also say not to take this route at night. Usually, come during the day. The lighting is poor, and the road is scary. So, ocean on the right, ocean on the left. Only cars are driving like this. God forbid, if you get distracted for a moment, there’s a great danger. You could find yourself in an ocean. We’re currently on the Seven Mile Bridge. This bridge is 7 miles long, approximately 11 kilometers. And when it was built in 1982, it was the longest bridge in the world. It was very popular back then. Look, the old bridge is on our right. We’re travelling over the new bridge. And to our right is the Gulf of America, and to our left is the Atlantic Ocean . We’re travelling on the bridge spanning these two oceans. The route is quite beautiful, and they say this very bridge is the most iconic, most beautiful part of this route. And I really think so, would you look at the view? Oh, this seems to be the old bridge. Probably the old bridge goes from here. It’s really spooky. I just don’t understand what I’m saying, is that bridge across the street like a main road and a railway underneath? No. No, dear. It’s different. That’s all. Yes, the top is a road, in fact, the road has collapsed from here. The old road. Shouldn’t we be filming a Vlog over there, wandering around? I… How were they arrested or something? Look over there. They’ve already cut off that connection. I think it probably destroyed it if there was a storm or something. We’ve officially entered Key West, and our first stop is a stone here. It’s like a monument. Monument Point, the southernmost point of Key West. Cuba is 90 miles from here. So, they’ve created this tourist attraction. It’s actually a corner, a perfect cape. It’s about 140 kilometers from here, and they say you can see Cuba’s lights from here at night. It’s that close. That’s why border guards are constantly patrolling the area. We’re waiting in line to take photos. We’ll take our picture at this iconic spot and then move on. Thank you. We’ve just completed our first destination. We took our picture at the southernmost point. Now we’re starting to explore Key West. We’ve arrived at a beach just below that point. They usually say the beach here is rocky, but here there’s sand. It could be artificial sand. I mean, they might be feeding it with sand. It could be, but it’s very dirty. You can’t go in the water here. I mean, I don’t think it’s very clean either. It’s not very clean . It’s not clean at all . Not very. But there are canoeists up ahead. They rent canoes in this area. They rent Jeskis. There are activities like that. If we have time, we plan to join in. Overall, the view is very nice. And because it’s the southernmost tip, it has a unique value. By the way, here’s a cafe’s menu. There aren’t many options anyway. There aren’t many options, but the prices aren’t too expensive. They aren’t. I mean, the prices are normal. Cocktails, for example, are $14. Drinks are also $13. Meals are around $18. Around $15, $18, $20. Of course, we still think with the Turkish mentality. You know, when we come to a place like this, we think the prices go up. It’s going to be very expensive, but it’s not. But it’s nice. Look at the streets? That helicopter is probably patrolling the area for border security. It might be patrolling the area. Because the gates are open. It was a military helicopter. This area is said to be truly protected regarding this border. Especially from the sea. By the way, there’s a real parking problem on the island. As on every island, roadside parking is the cheapest. It starts at $6 per hour. There are some parking lots, but they’re the most expensive. The hourly rate is around $9-10. That’s why roadside parking is better. If you’re staying somewhere else, you can also use the hotel parking. Of course, it’s a good idea to confirm the parking details of the hotel or place you’ll be staying before booking your stay. However, if most people come here specifically to stay overnight, there are places that park at the hotel and rent scooters, bicycles, or motorcycles. They rent motorcycles from there and tour the island from morning until evening. I’ll show their rental prices in this video. We’re taking a lunch break right now. It’s very hot. Extremely hot. Yes, let’s grab a bite to eat and then we’ll continue. Where’s the restaurant you found, dear? It’s called Blue Haven. I don’t know, they’ve recommended it a lot. Is it a Cuban restaurant? No. This is a normal restaurant. Okay, then let’s finish eating and move on. We came to this place. The reason we came to this place is actually because it’s open-air and has such a natural atmosphere. Also, there was music when we just entered. The music stopped right now. They say it ends at 1:00 . They say it ends at 1:00 in the afternoon. What is this , dear? Egg benedict . They’ve made something like shrimp and eggs together. There’s bread underneath. Egg benedict . Egg on top. Shrimp in between. We’ll try that. And of course, this place’s. Key lime dessert. The most famous dessert here, he said Key lime dessert. Isn’t it very bubbly? It’s very good. Then let’s start a test right away. When you cut the egg, it’s like that . Exactly. It ran. I wasn’t expecting anything like this. I’m really curious about how it tastes. I hope it’s good. Good. Is it good? Dilara couldn’t resist. She already switched to Key lime. What kind of Key lime? It’s very good. This place is like foam. It’s different. It’s not like the ones you get at Publix. It ‘s nothing like it. That was great. Yes. I liked that one very much, too. Look, the lime flavor is starting to come through even more strongly now. They did it very well. We just finished that meal. We paid a total of $42, including the tip. The total on that menu came to around $34. There’s a famous house right now. Ernest Hemingway? The house of a famous writer. There’s a famous book about “For Whom These Bells Toll” that says “These Bells Toll” and he wrote it. He lived in this house between 1931 and 1939. This author even had a six-toed cat. There were 60 cats in the garden of this house. They thought these cats were descended from that cat. Later, they built a private pool in the garden of this house. This pool was built in 1930 for $20,000. I suppose it was the first pool here? Yes, the first private pool. And the author wrote his books here. That’s why the house has such sentimental value. Many visitors come here. The entrance fee is currently $19. $7 for children. Isn’t $19 expensive? I think it’s too expensive. Yes, just a click. Right across from this, look, there’s a lighthouse. If you’d like, you can climb up to the top of this lighthouse. Let’s show you that lighthouse right now. From here, you can climb up to the lighthouse and explore. Currently, there’s an entrance fee of $17 for adults and $9 for young people. If you’re interested in maritime, you can come here and climb up to the top of the lighthouse. It was built in 1825. Then Hurricane passed in 1846. Then in 1848… They rebuilt it. Here, too, is the most crucial point of this lighthouse. Normally, a man named Michael was assigned here. He came with his wife. His wife would do menial tasks at the lighthouse. Of course, Michael fell ill and passed away. His wife stayed behind. She took over all the duties. He said, “I was already doing these tasks with my wife. ” I know. And she took on this task and continued it. Articles mention that lighthouse work is truly difficult for men. That’s why a woman took on this task and was praised for continuing it for so many years. This lighthouse has achieved such a significant position in the United States. It’s said to be the first lighthouse with a female keeper. You can walk up the 88 steps if you like. This island is generally famous for its Key Lime, its dessert. They recommend Cuban coffee. They say you should try it here. Because it’s close to Cuba, they recommend Cuban coffee and Cuban food. They say it’s more beautiful, but there are many in Miami too. But the island is truly beautiful. There are museums like this, but unfortunately, we’re not generally that big of museum enthusiasts. We couldn’t. We usually try to live in the moment, eat, visit, people-watch, and understand the culture. Just wandering around. We also tend to click a little more . It’s like, “We’ve visited this place, we’ve visited the landmarks.” Of course, while exploring the houses and museums, we make sure to watch videos and look at the content. Look, that flower is truly beautiful. But would you really look at the nature and streets here? It’s beautiful. By the way, these scooter parks are free. If you rent a scooter, these parks are free for scooters. Friends, here’s another detail: Dilara, let me share a trip with you. Now, this Duval Loop is free. It’s a public service of our municipality. Yes. Look, the route is also very nice. It takes you to all the tourist spots. There’s a lot of it. It’s like that red bus in England that takes you around in an open-air car. There are a lot of touristy things. But this one is free. Some are paid, others are around $10 or $15. But this one is completely free. This one visits the same spots. The only difference is that it’s not very windy, but you’re traveling on a public bus. Like, yeah. The route is very nice. You can also consider this if you want to travel for free. By the way, look at Duval Loop as an example. It’s a full-fledged public bus. But it was air-conditioned. I think it looks cool inside. I think it looks cool inside. So it’s worth considering. Just park the car. Don’t worry about the rest after you park the car. But everything is $1. The name of the cafe is $1. What’s the name of the cafe, really? I don’t know. I think it should be 1 dollar. I think it’s Willie T’s. We left it somewhere. Signed a Turkish lira. Was it in Milan? Yes. Like that, but everyone signs a 1 dollar here. Let’s say that, 1 dollar is 1 dollar . There were a lot of dollars . Thousands of dollars, I mean. The weather is also hanging. They’ve made a different place. But look, let’s go here. Cookie place . It looks nice. Honestly, yes, it looks really nice. Come on, come on. I was curious too. Of course, you have no choice. It smells really good inside. What am I going to eat? Nutella? Peanut? It could be peanuts and Nutella. But the smell inside is really amazing. Is there anything more? They also have ice cream. No, let’s not even get into ice cream. But their cookies look good. Yeah, look at this. What’s this going to buy? Oh, peanut butter. Do you like peanut butter? Yeah, we like it, but I’m not sure about the test. Can we try? Bro, we just wanted a test. Bro, he completely gave it away. Peanut butter. Dude, we eat like human beings. You don’t need to pay so much. This is good too. I wonder if it will be too heavy for the cookie, we might not be able to finish it, though? Then let’s get this one. Okay. I think I’ll get one of this . Yeah for here. Yes, we bought this cookie and we’re trying it with the cookie right now. The golden cookie is better. How much is it? $13. Expensive. Expensive, yes. But the cookie is better. The cookie alone is cheaper. Is it perfect like this? I don’t think so. The Key Lime was better. No, yes, yes. We were just curious. We went and tried it, though. No need to lie. There’s no need to say “this place is beautiful” or “this place is beautiful” just because we’re going to make a vlog. I mean, if you like cookies, just get the cookie. I mean, don’t confuse these. Yes. Wait a minute, tell me about his house. Tell me about his house. Now, this is his house. This man came here from Cuba in the 1800s. When he was 16. Then he did business here. He became the richest man here, and then in Florida. A hurricane passed through here. In the 1800s, called the Havana hurricane. Only 6 or 7 buildings in the city were left standing. It destroyed everything. A while later, a man started a fire here. It burned down 60% of the city. All the houses seen here were built around 1900. That is, in the late 1800s. By old, he means from the 1800s-1700s. He says there are only 5 buildings that survived the actual hurricane and the fire. One of them is this house. Yes, not 5, but 6. Then, when two major disasters happened, the municipality said, “I’ll give you 10,000 dollars.” He tried to lure everyone here. Because people left. There was no one left. He tried to lure people with money. Then 10,000 dollars per person? 10,000 dollars per house? What kind of money did he give? People want to buy a place and restore it. But considering the late 1800s, I think $10,000 is a good amount of money. And $10,000 just to get people to come here, and ugh. Exactly. Then this man bought this house. They restored it. This man was actually from Pennsylvania. Then he returned to Pennsylvania. When he returned, he was in a train accident and died. The woman said forty. I don’t know if they killed him. Maybe. Then when the man died, his wife never wanted to come here again. Then they donated the place. The woman told us inside for 20 minutes. She was really nice, very sweet. And she shows us around the place for free, telling us about it. He was so rich that he had the cutlery made by Tiffany. You know , that jewelry store, Tiffany’s. It was built in the 1900s. It’s unbelievable. It’s beautiful, but there are 5-6 of the most historic buildings. This house is one of them. If you come, they give you a free tour. Just so you know, it says “free tour” on the door. You just tip when you leave. I think it’s even better. It’s like a donation, so if the house needs repairs, they probably use that money to repair it. Apparently, this train ticket is sold here in Old Town. It’s $43. Oh, the train left. There was a train here just now. $43 per person. It takes about an hour and 10 minutes. They tour many places, including tourist attractions. We’re in Old Town right now. This entire area is called Old Town. It’s 3-4 degrees higher than Miami. They always say it’s hotter than Miami. Hotter than Miami. It’s practically hell. Yes. It’s really hot. It’s so hot. It’s an art museum. Dilara got burned from the heat. I’m miserable. It’s so hot. It always gets hotter here than in Florida. That’s why we’re so cooked right now. The entrance fee for this art museum is $17 for adults, $13 for locals, and $9 for youth. Right across from this art museum behind me, look there. There’s another museum called Mel Fisher. It’s a museum that tells the story of treasure hunter Mel Fisher and also the slave trade. The second floor is filled with artifacts related to the slave trade, including ships, shipwrecks, and the treasures Mel Fisher found. The entrance fee to that museum is also $17. So, there are quite a few museums on this island. If you enjoy visiting museums, you’ll really enjoy this island. But as we said, we’re continuing to explore the island right now to see its beauty and structure. It’s a bit more like this, a cute little town. It’s nice, but I mean, there really isn’t much here. Yes. People were saying, “Haven’t you been to Key West?” You should go to Key West. But Key West also has the same rooster crowing everywhere. You can come here once and see these places, but when you do, it’s the museums. So, there’s no need to expect much. Yes, it’s a sweet town, a small town. Don’t come in the summer. Come in the winter, January, December. It’s May 15th right now. Can you see the temperature? It’s 32. But it’s not 32, I think it’s more. It’s warmer under the sun. Now we went to this restaurant in Old Town. We only ordered one dish here. To try Cuban food . By the way, something like toast came out in the middle. We don’t know what it was, but we did. Garlic. Garlic? It smells. These guys put garlic in everything. I mean, I never… Bread, you know. I couldn’t understand the garlic thing, though. Bread. I guess you mean dipping it in this. They brought the bread toasted. Not much humor then. What kind of food should we have? How’s the food? Exactly. It came pretty quickly. We weren’t expecting it so fast, though. Now let’s try this meat… How long did it take? Did it take 5 minutes? It didn’t take 5 minutes. Impossible. It came really quickly. We were surprised too. It’s ready, maybe they heated it up and brought it. I think this is rice prepared with chicken. This meat is prepared with tomatoes and peppers. They always use… Black beans. Black beans and potatoes. Let’s taste it. Is it good? Your ordinary meat saute. Meat saute. Is it close to our taste? The same. Really? Holiday meat saute. Let me see, I was curious too. I just want to taste a piece of meat. Oh my. Your ordinary meat saute. We’re Cuban and we didn’t know it. Can we be Cubans? That meat? It’s our meat, really. I’m curious about the taste of the rice. The rice isn’t bad either. I think this is good too. The chicken is juicy. I’m telling you, if you come here, I think Cuban flavors are very close to ours. It’s similar. Very interesting. I was surprised too. If I were hungry, I’d gobble this up. I think I like it. Really, really good food. Then let’s eat it. We’ll continue our trip. There aren’t many places left to visit anymore, but… There aren’t. Maybe if we can, we can try a jet ski. A Key Lime here. Let’s continue. This is the house the woman was talking about. 1829. 1829. Yes. This is the famous place. Then let’s go in. What’s missing? It’s beautiful. We could sit here until evening. It’s really ice cold inside. It’s really good. They have some ice cream-like ones over there. I think we can get one of those ice cream-like ones. Let’s get one like that. And one like this. Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you? That was pretty reasonable, by the way. Thank you. 12.75. 12.75. Of course, thank you. Yes, this place is quite famous. That’s why we wanted to come and try it. And the price, I think, is quite reasonable. So, yes, it might be the best thing we’ve had today. Look, we had this ice cream version. And we had the cake version. But there’s no lime on top. Why not? Did the other one have lime? No, but it was different. This one was different. Of course, you try it first and see. That one also had a crust-like thing on top. Brown like this. Not a crust, that meringue. I’m going to try it too. I think that one was better. Hmm, yes. This one looks like Publix’s Key lime. Yes, yes. They said it was famous, but the Key lime dessert at that first place was actually better. We tried it there first. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know. Friends, it turned out to be standard here. We’ll hopefully check it out, I’m curious. They’ve dipped it in chocolate like this. They’ve made this very simple too. How? It seems a bit better, but let me see. I think they used bittersweet. That’s it. The first place was very good. Yes, the first place was good. Go there, eat there. Eat there. Live music is also on until 1:00. Go until 1:00. Hang out. By the way, folks, we’ve arrived at where we parked the car. There was a scooter rental office here. Let me show you the scooter prices from there. Let’s continue. Renting in the morning is even more advantageous. For example, if you rent for 7-8 hours, a two-person scooter is yours for 7-8 hours for $70 . Or you can rent for a single person for $45. Or you can rent golf carts. The advantage is that the motorcycles have free parking, so you don’t have to pay for parking. We didn’t rent a scooter. Why didn’t we? Because we drove. And we don’t have much time after we arrived . If you’re staying at the hotel here and want to explore different parts of the island, I think you can get a scooter. You can easily explore Key West. But if you ask me, there’s that free loop. You can also use the loop. You can also explore with that loop. But I wanted to show you the scooter prices here. So, friends. We’re ending the Key West vlog. But why are we ending it here? We found a spot here. You can rent a jet ski. They take you around Key West on a jet ski. They also stop at one point and let you swim. It’s a really fun activity. We were actually thinking about joining in. But it’s 5:40 now. A Sonic tour starts at 6:00. It’s 90 minutes long, and when we arrive 90 minutes later, it’ll be 7:30. If we left at 8:00, we’d have a five-hour drive, and unfortunately, we’d be very tired. That’s why we can’t join this tour. But if you come, I think you can try this place. Why do we recommend this place? Jet ski rentals normally start at $160 for 90 minutes. But here, they take you on a 90-minute tour with a group for $120. That’s why I recommend this place. They’ll be arriving soon. When they arrive, you can see the jet skis and the people. What can we say about Key West? It was a little below our expectations. Why? We probably had our expectations too high. I guess. Yes, it’s like a village you know, but beautiful. I mean, it’s a small town. Exactly. It’s a town right on the edge of town. Mostly, the only places to visit are museums. Yes. Museums, and I think they’re expensive. It was very hot. It was very hot. It was even hotter than our repairs. We also had a fire and parking problems . There’s a real parking problem. If you come, I think you should stay at least a day. Yes. And make sure the place you stay has parking. Make sure it’s free . Otherwise, you might have trouble. Because I probably paid around 30-40 dollars just for parking today. I only parked in the lot by the roadside. So be prepared for parking. Other than that, come. It’s definitely beautiful here at night. It definitely is. The weather is cooling down. Yes. It’s beautiful. Then see you in the next vlogs. Take care, sir. Take care. Don’t forget to follow us. Yes. Don’t forget to follow us. Look, we’re putting in a lot of effort. We’d appreciate it if you’d follow us and hit the like button. Take care.
