This is a wonderful 2 hour historical tour of Naples and Old Naples. This is a great way to introduced to the history of Naples with over 100 points of interest this narrative trolley ride will surely captivate your interest. The best part is you can enjoy free re-boarding all day long, so my suggestion is to book the early tour and stay all day all you have to do is show your ticket and you are back on the trolley to the next location.

Fourth of July in Naples

4th of July Parade and fireworks.
Parade 10 AM
Fireworks 9 PM
This year will be the first time that we go and see the parade on 5th Ave. From what I hear it is a pretty good time, I really do not think that I have ever attended a parade where I didn't have a good time. I'll let you know next week how everything turned out. Maybe we can dine at one of restaurants on the bay while we are there.
Later Friday afternoon we will venture down to the Naples Pier to catch the forth of July fireworks show. We are told there is over 1000 shells of fireworks that will eliminate the skies that night costing the city more than $30,000. The City is telling us that they are prepared for nearly 20-30K patrons to be at the event. We have been to the fireworks show and I must say that it is close to one of the biggest "City" shows that I have ever seen. The fireworks reflecting off of the Gulf of Mexico and lighting up the Naples Pier. What a beautiful time.

1200 5th Ave South, Naples, FL 34102 • 239/263.2734
Last night we decided to check out "The Riverwalk Fish & Ale House" located within Tin City. As soon as you walk into this restaurant you will feel like you are at an "authentic old style" waterfront restaurant. With the outside waterfront dining tables to the fisherman's wharf style decor. The food was as fresh as it could be I had the Fried Grouper Sandwich and my wife ate a hearty portion of bay scallops. You cannot go wrong with this place great food and an exciting atmosphere to surround you.

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary • 375 Sanctuary Road West • Naples, Fl 34120
239/348-9151
Admission
Adults $10 • Students $6 • Child 6-18 years $4
If you love nature then this is a must see for you and the whole family. The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is a wildlife smorgasbord, on any given day you may stumble upon a great blue Heron catching minnows in the shallow water while a huge alligator is right beside him basking in the warm florida sun or maybe you will hear the singing of the bull frogs with their deep voices echoing through the swamps cypress tress while you watch a humming bird flutter from flower to flower extracting the nectar from each one. Anything in nature is possible when you visit the Sanctuary.
This is 2.25 mile long boardwalk which winds through a true cypress forest, that will take you back in time to the "Old Florida". This happens to be the largest virgin bald cypress forest in North America, if that isn't reason enough to come and visit then I do not know what is. When you leave the sanctuary you will have already planned your next visit by the time you make it back to Tamiami Trail (Highway 41)
