We visit the charming Central Florida town of Mount Dora. We take the Lake Dora: Air, Land and Sea package which consists of a great boat tour along the Dora Canal, also known as “the most beautiful mile of water in the world”, a seaplane flight, and a ride back on the Orange Blossom Cannonball "The Movie Train".

#211 Mt. Dora! I will include that on my bucket list. Thanks for showing, Robert.
I really enjoy the pace and structure of your videos, Robert. You have it down to an art!
+Phil Armishaw Thanks!
i agree !!
Me too! Love his accent, as well!
I went to Mount Dora with my mom for the first time in December of 2006 on a bus tour and indeed it is a beautiful and historic place.
I am absolutely blown away by your commentary, video editing, music soundtracks that you made yourself, WOW...all I can say is...WOW(so green with envy!) And I get to see things I would never see in my lifetime. At first I thought your videos were way too long, but you really do make them sooo interesting, I get sucked into watching them all the way through. and I do mean this as a compliment. BRAVO! Very well done!
+K. Bayquoi Oh I try to make them shorter sometimes, but just can't. Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed the video . Good work . Keep posting and keep exploring .
Mount Dora indeed turned out to be a nice place to visit.
l love living here I,m sharing this with my New England and Maryland friend's
Jesse Ray Derrick,knight
Nice footage Robert. It shows a part of the US that I have never been to (yet). Thanks for sharing again.
Lovely video.
Your videos are always so well done. I appreciate all your hard work. Keep them coming please.
+Jill Kurtz Thank you. I try to keep making them.
Five years later I found this video. Great subject, whenever visiting family in the Orlando area I would always borrow a car and come up to Mount Dora, so relaxing. Now that I'm retired, maybe it's a place to consider, so calming.
Restaurants understaffed and overcrowded, that's been my experience the times I've been in Florida. The most popular places always seem to be like that. We usually seem to find a nice out of the way place that usually turns out to be really good.
Robert, your videos are fantastic, it's -20 celcius today in Montreal and listening to your stuff makes it feel like it's summer again. Keep'em coming. Good job!
+Rob Bastien Hey thanks! Spring is around the corner.
Very nice video Robert. Thank you for sharing !
+Eddie Chavez Thank you!
Awesome Job Really Enjoyed It, Thanx For Sharing
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your travel experience.
I live in the mobile home park at the entrance to the Dora Canal (15:30) and I never knew it was built on top of a Seminole Indian camp. I knew that it had been a fish camp & trailer park back in 1950 with a beach along the canal. Now it's a lot of old trailers. You learn something new everyday!
We use to stop there all the time. Definitely a nice stretch when coming either way. U are right about spook hill, not so so spooky...
Awesome Robert, I've always enjoyed you road trips. Your song is great.
+Worldis crazy Hey thanks! Came one day as inspiration a couple of years ago... I believe after the Four Corners trip.
Thanks Robert for letting me know about Dora Canal. I have been crossing it for years whenever I visit my Mom. Even taken pictures from the side of the road (on the north end of it) and never realized where it went!
Thanks Robert for another great video......
ANOTHER GREAT ONE !!!!
So wonderfully done Robert!! Enjoyed it all so very much! Thumbs UP
That's Robert for the showing of Lake Dora. I will be there soon and now I have an idea of what to do in my spare time.
+Kenny Wright Hey, enjoy Lake Dora.
Robert you are truly amazing. Your videos are Post Card Perfect. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make these awesome videos. You have a very soothing voice and your narration is like listening to a story. Much appreciation, Patti
Thank you
Thanks Robert..Well Done!
+winsto22 Thank you!
Such a Beautiful little town. I’ll have to put it on my list ❤
Great trip, thank you !
Been to the hotel many times. Clean rooms,pricey. Haunted?
Renninger's is a fun flea market.
Those small white birds with the curved beaks are white Ibis.
Thank you Robert for sharing one more video. I love your trips, and the way you describe them. Everytime I'm literally traveling with you, and this time your trip had really many different point of views.
Ciao from Italy.
+Alberto Formenti Thank you, grazie, ciao from Miami
Hi Robert, we really enjoyed your Mont Dora video. As always , you provide informative commentary and great video of the area. Thank you much.
Just saw this pop up in recommended and hadn't seen it yet! Coincidentally, just last night I was watching on old family tape we'd converted off of VHS onto digital, of a family trip to Mount Dora in 2000. Cool to see what's changed in that time!
"oooops!" Cracked me up! "it still flys" Awesome. Love your videos Robert. Keep'em com'n.
+AZ Boatscope :-) Thanks!
One of the things you have great in your videos Robert, compared with other youtubers, is you insert always the name of the spot. That's great for those like me, who like to follow the travel with an open map in another browser tab. Thanks.
+francisa751 You're welcome
Hey that's a good idea.
Nice. I think I am going to add Mount Dora to my bucket list for my new RV. Looks nice.
+just me Thanks. It is a very quaint little town. If you go in the RV try to stay at Trimble Park. Much more closer and I hear nicer. That was my first choice but is was already full that week.
Loved! the tour thank you soooo much :-)
great video of course
I recently came across your channel... totally enjoying your travels. Central Florida is my old stomping grounds, born and raised in Winter Garden. I lived in Mnt. Dora for a while so I really enjoyed this one. Growing up my family traveled all over the state, I had friends from Miami to Jacksonville, but most were in central FL.
Thank You Robert. We're going to Mount Dora this spring because of your video!
That's great. Enjoy!
I live in Arizona. I enjoy seeing the green side of our beautiful country. Thank you for playing the easier music. Es muy perfecto!
+Margaret McCoy Thank you.
The train was full of beautiful sites! ;) Hehehe.. Your the best on youtube. I fully enjoy your style.
+icollectstuffdude Yeah, I particularly loved the RV storage places. To be honest it wasn't that bad but after the boat and the plane... Hey thanks man. Hopefully we'll bump on the road some time.
Once more, I am enjoying your travels right through the county (Highlands) where I live. Also my daughter lived in Mt. Dora for a few years. Thanks for the tour. There are alternative train tours at Halloween and Christmas that are more interesting and picturesque. The Thomas Train also visits at times.
Good one, Robert! I look forward to your next one.
+bill baio Thanks!
Just found your videos tonight Robert, while looking for RVing in Florida. We are from Southern Ontario and absolutly love Mt Dora area. we come down for 2 weeks in April, and our rental comes with a pontoon boat to discover the Harris chain of lakes. including Lake Dora. We also spent 4 winters in our 5th wheel down there. Keep up the videos, great to see the Florida sunshine etc, while its snowing like crazy out, as it is right now. Thanks for sharing.
I love watching your videos, I really get amped when I see a new one posted. Thanks so much for the quality, style and content of your videos.
+Jobe Peevey Thanks. I love making these videos.
Nice as always!
+Bark Underjord Thanks!
Great job, Robert. You have shown me a different view (aerial) of the county that has been are home for years.
+Clermont Cubby Hey thanks! Beautiful Central Florida.
My home is so beautiful,ty Rob.
The path Ps.27:1, is MtDora still your home? It has been over a year, afterall.
Wonderful
I enjoy your videos . I get the inspiration to take off on my own journey, thank you so much for taking us along with you.
+Modesto Sanchez Thank you. Good luck with your journey!
Robert, as usual it was great..An have a great day
+bhhardgr01 Thanks!
The best music intro from TH-cam!
Love it! Thank!!
Thank you!
I enjoy the journey to mate.
You two certainly make wonderful videos!!
+starlight9716 Thank you!
You are doing a very valuable contribution to the State value
Beautiful and entertaining Robert......couldn't have done it better!!! TruckamperJim in Nebraska
Thank you!
You're more than welcome.....glad I found your channel!!!!!TruckamperJim in Nebraska
Seee un nuevo video de Robert!! :) Amo tus videos!! Me pone nervioso cuando manejas el dron sobre el agua jaja
As a Mt Dora resident from North Jersey, I can absolutely day this is a great town to move to. Copacabana has the best Cuban food in C. FL. 😋
Hay from Croatia, Robert. And thanx for all those wonderful videos .. Especially Alaska trip ..
+Zeljko Krstic Hey, thank you. Glad you liked it!
Magnifico!!!
Well done. I like the videos where you talk about your rv and camping with it.
+Todd Michaels Thanks!
I adore Mount Dora!
Cool little town for sure
Wonderful. The Mount Dora art festival is always nice too, although you need to get there early since it gets more crowded every year. Next time at Pointe Orlando, I suggest BB Kings. They've got great live jazz and it's always a great time.
enjoy your vlogs a lot .i went back and seen all of them .yours voice is perfect.thank you
+ioan Morar Thanks!
Good job Robert, im from Lake Wales. Good videos
Hi Robert, Thank you for this video.. It took me away from the 15 degrees temp that we're having in Pa. today. It was like a movie that I could sit and eat popcorn to. Two thumbs up! Can't wait to see what equipment you are planning on adding to Minitini..
+redjaguar100 Well, I'm thinking Fantastic fan, solar, and pure sine wave inverter to start. I want to get it ready for longer term boondocking. Thanks!
We will reach Mount Dora at some point of time, I promise: lol😁. Nice video Robert. Thanks
+Godwin Rath Thanks! :-)
Thanks for another enjoyable and informative video..
+James Comfort Glad you liked it. Thank you
I stayed at the Tropical Palms this past March while in Orlando for some sporting events (golf, baseball). Very busy/crowded campground, but well maintained. Price is high but compared to other campgrounds, affordable. Nice video -enjoyed it.
+Rick Martin Hey thanks! Yeah that Tropical Palm is a huge place. Very well located though.
nice trip Robert, i might add this as a day trip when i'm in Orlando, the boat ride especially looks kids suitable
+Rod Shepherd Thanks. Yeah the boat ride was great and there were a few kids on the boat. Great family fun.
We have been following you on our family account for a very long time, but this account is new as we are getting ready to full time. But, just have to tell you that my husband bought your song and we have to either play it or hubby will sing it as we begin each trip for weekends or vacations. Love your videos and can't wait to see some of the places you've gone. Take care and safe travels.
+Go Big AND Go Home RV Adventures Hey thanks you and may the adventure begin! Happy trails!
Hey Robert... nice video!.. I was born in Mount Dora In 1961... And I just turned 61 on March 5, of this year!... And I think I one of the best photo the anhinga bird ever drying it's wings....ha ha ha!..
I can send you a free copy if you wish.
Robert you are so inspiring! We are picking up our new Micro Minnie Thursday. We have never owned a travel
Trailer so this should be an adventure 😜 you sure make it look easy and fun!
Next time you are in NC we will show you around.
Congratulations! Now the adventure begins. Thank you for your kind words.
hey robert. i love ur videos. i just started watching them. at: 38:31 u show a hotel. its called The Castle. i was there a month ago celebrating my 50th birthday with my 2 daughters and son in law. i had a great time. was so serprised to see u had been around there. thank u for ur beautiful videos.
Thank you!
+James Miles You're welcome.
Really enjoyed this video Robert, we visit from the UK and have a home in Kissimmee (for 9 years). If you pass through the area on the US 27 try to stop in at Lake Mineola at the Tiki Bar on the lakeside for a gorgeous sunset. It's about 1/2 a mile past the Citrus Tower at Clermont.Tony.
Fantastic magical video. The town is like a time warp, looks like a good time except the KOA. The Dora canal oddly reminded me of the Its a small world ride at Disneyland
Yes, Mount Dora is really cool... the whole area. The KOA was meh, but it was the only thing available in late December
We love your videos! Thank you.never heard of mt Dora hope to visit during Christmas 🎄 We found your vlog while looking for "moving to Florida" were from Mi & cant wait to move to SW Florida!!
S Canales Rivera if you move go to Punta Gorda. It's beautiful. And only half hour to Englewood and Vinese beaches. Low crime.
I'm a new subscriber Robert. I've watching a lot of RVing vids but I really enjoy yours. Don't know exactly why....just easygoing I guess and feels much less like a contrived TV show.
Your video popped up as a suggestion and so glad I watched! This is my neck of the woods and really enjoyed your perspective of the area. If you head back this way, try Fiesta Grande for some great mexican food. Plus I prefer Las Palmas over Copa any day.
i really enjoys all off your videor try to do it in europe
Hi Robert...great video, as usual. Now I really want to go check out Mount Dora when we are back in Florida (Dec 2019). By the way, Tropical Palms Resort is where our cottage is located so it was fun seeing you film some of the park. I was hoping you would go past our cottage and get some footage of it ,but alas you did not! Oh well, still enjoyed watching.
My husband and I met you at Rincon Parkway this year (THOR Miramar parked behind MINItini). I sure hope we get to run into you again one of these days! Happy Trails!!!!!
Sure. See you on the road one of these days.
AI, Roberto!! La musica (total) estaba fantastico!! (Forgive me for being grossy inacurate with those accent marks !! (Me falta)!! 😳😃👣 Su videos son fantastico, Roberto...muchas gracias! Mas por favor!! 😄
Great video I live in Tavares Fl. Your Description of my home town and surrounding area was great awesome. On a another note the train's last ride is on Jan 29, 2017
+Robin Jackson Loved the area. We'll be back, maybe stay at Trimble Park
TravelingRobert Trimble Park is a quiet place you should eat at Gators in Eutis Fl. on HWY 19 not to far from park
Mmmm... Florida... Someday i will be visiting there (hope in this life :) ).
Thanks for your videos. It show places exact as i like to see it and make me feel like i myself was there.
See you on the road ;)
(I'm sorry for my not very well english, i'm trying don't use Google translater as much as i can).
+Alexei Kanzir Hey Alexei. Thank you! You + Google English is good. I hope you can travel. See you!
hi robert really like your background music .
+Carol Ray Thanks!
The news lately has been so jarring, that I had to come back and take the river ride with ya. I am calm now. I love your cool jazzy "undermusic" too. I chill out to your laid back mood and sounds. If you never went anywhere besides Florida, I'd say you should rename ur videos to "the anhinga channel" lol. It's easy to love Florida but you're making me love other places too.
@@Will-JC No I live Up in the North West!
@@Will-JC NP!
I felt the same way about the Sugar Cane train ride in Maui as you felt about the train ride here. Skip it!
+Dawn Lizarraga Yeah, some of this attractions are lame.
yep!
thanks Robert..from NMichigan
You're welcome. Can't wait to explore the UP
Hey Robert, love your videos. Been to Mt Dora a few times when over from the UK.
We stayed at the Myakka River RV camp Venice a few years back. Loved it, have you been there ?
+Dean Oliver I have not been there. So many places, so little time. It is on the list.
Love your honesty. Train ride....boring.Lol.
2 things, first you said you were getting 10/to the gallon while towing that awesome mini rv that’s rough and 2end you said you go sometimes to central FL area’s have you ever driven and saw Lake Underhill ,Orlando, FL ? If not yet I highly recommend seeing that lake it very nice
super rv
:-)
Update,they trains were moved to St. Mary's Georgia due to the high cost of maintaining and repairing the tracks which they are going to convert into walking and biking trail,no big loss really.
I saw your video re: hot water heater, if you turn on cold 1st does that make a difference? and another question, do you have trouble with animals getting in your RV? we are thinking of getting the 1706fb thx for your help
just the way you said lame for spook hill was funny in Mt Dora
hey, that's where i live..lol
Cool. Nice town
Your videos are awesome!!! Really professional!! I really enjoy them!! Next time your up in Lawrenceville Robert,,hit me up on here. Like to meet you sometime.. my fiance and I are planning to buy a Mini like yours but different floorplan. Take care.
Thank you! Enjoy that Minnie, and hope to see you one of these days
you were still in Kissimme, Osceola County a ways from Orlando. Old Town is between Kissimmee and Celebration, close to Disney but not on Orlando, Orange County.
I tend to call the whole area Orlando but of course you're right
next time try trimble park to camp, its right in mt dora
❤️
