Nous voilà enfin arrivée à Miami suite à une navigation de 20 heures en mer de Fort Pierce à Miami La semaine derniere. Nous profitons de Miami pour compléter nos derniers achats à faire avant d'arriver au Bahamas. On en profite ici, car une fois arrivée au Bahamas le cout de la vie sera très dispendieux. Nous sommes allés visiter un vétérinaire pour Rubia, car avant son entrée au Bahamas elle doit être vu 48 heures par un veterinaire afin de s'assurer qu'elle ne soit pas porteuse de maladie..... Au moment, ou on écrit ses lignes il nOus reste quequelques heures au Etats-Unis. Nous quitterons Miami cette nuit (16 nov) a minuit pour les Biminis avec l'equipage de Magie. Lors de notre premier voyage, nous n'étions pas arrêter à Bimini, car nous avions fait Miami-Nassau en ... read more

Geo: 25.7928, -80.1349Our last internal flight, our last rental car - a shiny blue Hyundai - our last going the wrong way out of the airport!Our hotel is as close to the beach as you can get, right in the middle of the Art Deco area with scores of small hotels built in the art-deco style after the depression of the 1930s to attract tourists. They served to house Jewish refugees, Cuban immigrants, troops during WWII and fell out of favour but have now mostly been restored and put back to use as hotels. (All that from a video at the Art-DEco area visitor centre). Miami Beach is tourist town par excellence, cars and motor-bikes cruise up and down, the side with the hotels is lined with bars and restaurants and clubs many of them pumping ... read more

Miami Beach - the area was a lot less glamorous than Annie has expected but Scott thought it was a cool place. The beach itself was nice with loads of unique life guard huts and clean water. After our first dip in the Atlantic Ocean we strolled along the streets of shops and restaurants and grabbed some $2 tacos. We walked along the shore and took advantage of our last chance to sunbathe on this trip. We are afraid to tell you all that we have had a burger king every night since we got here because it is directly across the street :) Tonight Scotty went out with a bang by having a double cheese burger, a chicken sandwich, some chicken nuggets and some fries…Augustus the Great! This Burger King made for some very unique ... read more

Miami, we landed on Saturday 1stSeptember after a 6 hour flight from Lima. We had booked 2 nights at a hostel on South Beach, yes they do exist. For $48 a night we ended up being upgraded to a private apartment with AC and a real hot shower, the bed was wider than it was long. This type of normal living is not what we have been accustomed to, It felt like we were on holiday! We meandered down Lincoln Avenue, the main pedestrian and shopping area near the beach, ice cream in hand after a huge Mexican Dinner. I made the mistake of ordering a large burrito and ended up carrying half around with me in a doggy bag for the rest of the night. We treated ourselves to some new sunglasses to fit in ... read more

Time to blog one off. This is my first blog on my 3 month trip. Currently sat in departures waiting to board for a flight to Miami!! I keep telling myself I should be massively excited, I am in a way, but it's the change and leaving my comfort zone behind that is scaring the shite outa me! You don't realise what you have until you pack a bag and walk out the front door. Makes me appreciate things a whole lot more already and I've only made it as far as Heathrow Terminal 3... I can't wait to throw myself into meeting new people and visiting places I've only ever dreamed of. Economy class bandwagon is being called so I'm off to watch films for 10 hours straight... It's now 8pm local time. All checked ... read more

Så er der billeder! + en video. I dag har vi været en tur i Dolphin Mall og shoppe. NØJ det er stort! Jeg fik købt et par sko(endelig). Herefter tog vi ud til South Beach i Miami, hvor vi skal tilbringe de næste 4 nætter, i det nok mest populære og berømte område i Miami. Søger man på "Miami" på Google, vil der komme rigtigt mange billeder af dette område. Det er her de hvide sandstrande ligger, med de gamle, flotte art deco-bygninger, som agerer hoteller, restaurenter og barer. Vi bor i en af de flotte bygninger på den turist-prægede Collins Avenue, som ligger ca. 300 meter fra stranden. Vejret har igen i dag været super godt, der er blevet svedt meget, og i morgen tager vi en tur på stranden og slikker noget sol ... read more

Friday 22nd of June We didn't end up going out the last night, as we never drink anymore before travel days. From experience nothing good can come from drinking before a travel day. Yet even though we didn't go out, we both managed to sleep through all four of our alarms. This unfortunately meant that we, us pair of silly fools missed breakfast. This wasn't good because we had a long trip to Key West and needed food and drink anyway no time for that we had to get a taxi straight to the bus station. When the taxi arrived we waved goodbye to our friends from the hostel. It was sad to leave them, but if we stayed any longer in Miami we would both die from exhaustion and alcoholic poisoning. Rachel didn't come to ... read more

June 21stSo after a very eventful night for Richard, losing his phone and all, he thought it would be a good idea to get a replacement. An iPad. I think he had a little bit of iPad envy that spurred to make this purchase. To be fair you need something for the buses to keep you sane and distracted from the window lickers on the greyhound. So we headed off onto a pretty long walk to find the nearest apple shop to buy rich an IPad. We arrived, rich took forever trying to pick which IPad he wanted. During this time we had an "interesting chat" with a women who worked there who loved the accents and all, interested in what we were doing back home but then she said do what makes you happy as ... read more

Wednesday 20th of June After so many late nights I was woken after having only two hours sleep by Michael. I don't think he has ever seen me that angry before I turned and swore agressivly towards him several times. I think I shocked him slightly. Anyway the fool thought it was twelve midday it was 7:30am. He needs to go back to primary school to learn how to tell the time. As it is the second time he has made this mistake he did it in Chicago as well if you read back. He left me be and I got up at the actual 12 o clock still feeling like absolute crap but at least functioning. After several cups of water it was time to reflect on the nights shenanigans with the other hostel goers ... read more
