Put Miami Beach on your 'list'

After Universal Studios we hired a car and drove to Miami Beach (about 3 hours away) where we stayed until Sunday lunchtime. First I will explain the title of the blog. Whenever any American finds out we're from Australia, they say 'Oh gosh that's no.1 on my list' or 'i've got it on my list', pretty much they refer to an imaginary list they keep of all desired travel destinations. Miami Beach was so fantastic that we're telling you to put it on your list (along with Erie, PA, of course!). Because it is so close to South America it is like stepping into another country - so many people speak spanish and there are Cubans in fluro g-string bikinis (or even topless) everywhere!!

This is Ocean Drive with all the restaurants and cafes on it. Each has its own style of entertainment for e.g. latino drag queens miming to songs and dancing, latino professional dancers on bars, topless cowgirls dancing on stages whilst singing.


This is our hotel. Great stay except South Nick Han Mel after we hung up the phone to you we got a knock on the door by some dude with big muscles telling us to shutup.... woops!! Hope you guys had a great night.


See what I was saying about the bugs!! This is our car after we drove from Miami Beach back to Orlando Airport. Check out the bugs on the bumper and windscreen. When we were driving it was like playing that Mavis beacon typing tutor game from Newy High where when you mistyped something bugs would splat on your windsreen - remember girls?!


We couldn't work out whether this guy is loaded or has hired an 'escort'. You should have seen her outfit from the front - it was a one piece number.

Here it shows the beautiful colour of the water and also notice the buildings aren't that tall. Due to the Art Deco history of the area there must be height limits.
