USA - DAY 1 - cont

So it is 8 am and i am laying in my bed at our Miami hotel - recovering from the long flight and also the late night last night. We were so tired but we decided that we would be in Miami probably only once in our lives with time to kill so we got walking to an awesome little irish pub to watch some ice hockey (am i the only one who cant see the puck?) and make some friends. So we only got in after 1 - but im up, and already one coffee down :)

The trip so far has been just amazing - since we last shared it feels as though so so so much has happened which is a great feeling cos we are less than 10% of the way through the trip. There are going to be so many memories and stories at the end of all of this....

We thankfully had the correct time for our connecting flight and landed in Miami at about 3pm. Caught a bus that took us into Miami Beach and had a very knowledgeable tour guide keeping us quite interested in a lot of factual information. I was amazed at the money in the place - there really is just so much of it, and the buildings are quite incredible! I tried to take a few photos but it is tough from the inside of a bus!




After arriving, we checking into our rooms and had a long overdue shower and grabbed some grub at a very awesome little eating spot right on the water of the harbour.

At this point my camera battery died - so the rest we have no proof about :)

AS exhausted as we were we decided to walk a little while to an irish pub we had seen from the tour bus - darryl was convinced it was only a 10 minute walk - it was more like 25. But well worth it to try some new beers and meet some very friendly people.



We made it home in the end for some well deserved rest. Darryl has just woken up next to me and he says he managed to make it downtown with a few other people from the bar downstairs. Good for him!! That was our plan before we found out that a cab would cost $20 each way... now it is time for breakfast. Today is the day im really excited about - i think the ship is going to be really incredible.

‘Till tomorrow.....
