The day began with a trip to the Rockside Laundry to do a few loads of laundry. While there we heard that there was a bbq at the school so we headed that way to grab a bite for lunch.

Rob and Joan Ross39s South African aunt and uncle who have been living in Fort Lauderdale for 15 years met us at the airport and took us to their home in Plantation FL which is about a 15 minute drive from the ocean. That evening 2 of Rob and Joan39s South African neighbors Maude and John came over for a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-752860.html We made our way to Fort Lauderdale the day before our USA departure.After we arrived at our hotel we had time to saunter along the main street and take in the atmosphere before heading to the beach.The beach was very crowded with families couples groups of young men playing ball sports groups of young women watching the young men joggers and people walking their dogs.We spotted lots of squar http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-750787.html Up at 830 breakfast yogurt fruit OJ cereal muffins and coffee at the hotel sat outside near the ocean. We went back to the room buttered up suntan lotion and headed for the beach. Pops rented a set of chairs and an umbrella.

Lola and I had fun as she http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-731709.html Sunday 10th of June A day truly of rest. We woke around 1100am. And because the last nights drinks were so expensive we had no hangover to speak of. Well what to do today we thought Nothing as we were in a place that specialised in retirement where old people go to die of boredom. We decided on going to the beach again. This time we were not able to get any nice chairs. The only ones left were http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-724990.html 9th June fort lauderdale After the biggest fail of a night out solely being rich's fault I woke up to a few very pathetic apologetic Facebook messages from rich. Some people throw up when they have drunk too much some people get angry happy or sad. Rich falls asleep. This wasn't good when we walked about a mile at 12 at night in the middle of a road in fort lauderdale. He wouldn't move.

A nice lye in was needed after one hell of a travel day. We got changed and went to reception where we found out we could hire bicycles for free for two hours. How awesome is that We took the bikes straight to the beaches broadwalk and rode along in the cycle lanes taking in our surroundings. It was a glorious day to be out riding a bike the s http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-724517.html Today we go on the Caribbean CruiseWe are down for breakfast at about 0800 and we eat outside overlooking the ocean watching the world go by.

Marcussorum that I call Purpullina but I couldnt find it. SK had mention the day before that one of the nudis was full of eggs and they might have laid them on the day that we didnt dive the bridge. And they did. I found the pink eggs but I could not find the nudibranchs. I was hoping that someone got a shot. And guess what Linda did http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-706063.html I went back to Lauderdale by the Sea to try to photograph the aquamarine spotted nudi we had found the previous Sunday. The tide was coming in and it was surgie and about 15 knots from SE. At the beginning of the dive I blew an oring and walked to the shop in my wetsuit. That was a pretty good sign right there.I know better than diving there in conditions like that. I tried anyway.

A beautiful and relaxing way to see the land of the rich and famous. For one fare we could hop on a off a water taxi stopping at stores restaurants and pubs where you could grab a drink and take it on the taxi again Our taxi driver gave a running commentary on http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Florida/Fort-Lauderdale/blog-670624.html
