The beach
bit cloudy but is huge Well here we are day one!
Firstly thanks to all my friends and family who have supported me in planning my travels, in particular Dee for her support throughout, marky metcalfe for the hours of entertainment and the shed project and nigel helping with the extractor fan project lol. As well as anyone looking after stuff for me!
Arrived safely at Miami, heard from a fellow passenger that Honduras has just gone through a political coup! watch out for men with guns!
Got to my hotel to find two doors up from a rstaraunt i ate at with my parents in the eighties!
Walked up South Beach (took an hour to find!) the beach is massive and found out chatting to a beach man that the superbowl is being played here next weekend and loads of parties etc being set up, took a few photos of Ocean drive with all the flash cars took some pickies.
One observation the mannekins in the clothes shops seem to be rather well endowed! Must be to reflect the local silicon content lol!
Went for dinner at an Irish bar, Waxy o'Conners, happy hour on Guiness!
A guy sat opposite me at the
bar spoke with a northern accent but had a pompey insignia on his trackie top, turns out he is from Halifax but been seeing a girl from pompey, photos attached! small world.
The travelling on your own definitely gets you talking, met Dr Shine on the street, mr beach man and a rap dude on ocean drive as well as the pompey fan.
Watched Charlton beat arsenal (2001 game).
Supposed to be in the 80s F tomorrow been warm today but cloudy.
Will walk up the beach to the footy stadium tomorrow then back to Miami airport for my three flightds to get me to La Ceiba Honduras ready for the ferry sunday to Utila.
Shortish blog justb to say i am here safe!
After all my planning the last day was still hectic right up top the last minute.
