Sooooooooooooo South Beach Heaven!! Well after our cab ride from the airport (we figured this was a holiday so we were allowed a cab!!!) we got dropped off outside Jazz hostel on South Beach and as soon as our we set eyes on the big group of people drinking outside we realised we'd hit Party central!! HOW FAB!! After another mixed up check-in (is it our fate to always have messed up bookings!!)we we're helped upstairs with our bags by the security dude Tyson with one swift movement he had one backpack on each arm and made it look a-b-c easy!! We touchedd down and went and chatted with the guys downstairs (it was flipping raining can you believe it- this is meant to be the sunshine state!!) but it was night time so i guess allowed!! Our days consisted of hitting the beach big time- what can I say.. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Not neccessarily full of hotties non stop but a great atmosphere!!! We met lots of goups of Americans (all blokes can ya believe it!!) hehe and had a good time chilling and drinking with em (or rather them throwing beers at us, much to our movement of ducking from the throw rather than jumping up to catch like all the american athletic gals would!!) haha. On one particualr day we saw a group of three guys roll up, set up camp with their three umbrellas, ice box, three chairs in a row and IPOD speakers blaring out rap tunes....THE PIMP STATION HAD ARRIVED!!! Little would we know that Char would grow a soft spot for one of the yankee dudes (a 6foot5 basketball player!!) The weather was as expected Hot, but grew worryingly rainy in the second week and very unsettled (which pissed us sunworshippers off- So we decided sightseeing had to be done again!! We had a day trip to the Everglades where we saw lots of Aligators and held them... and went on a airboat in the river type swampy thing ahah, it was wicked!!! We also went to the Florida Keys, to key west to be precise- but sods frigging law low and behold it rained down here too!! We thought it was meant to be all picuresque and tropical but oh no we were wrong!! still the day was fab- we took in all the wonderful buildings and huts, they were so pretty and tropical colored, its it also lookked all piratey! We saw the little white house, the place where the presidents of the US used to go to holiday or 'vacation' and to the most southernest point in Northern America. I went to the Pirate shipwrecking muesuem, and got talked into taking the 'tour' of the muesuem. I was told the next one was in 10 mins so i thought great I'd wait for that. So I rocked on up 10 mins later and was greeted up a shripwrcker ringing a bell....AND NO OTHER TOURISTS... I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON THE TOUR!!! Its was soooo funny.. I had 3 actors all give me a prvate show.. I did my best not to laugh!! Charlotte was waiting for me at a bench outside the muesusm and I could hear her laughter from inside!!
So as for our night time activities... We were tucked up in bed from 8pm daily.. AS IF!!! Miami Rocks!!! We went to some great places... we've started a penchant for iced cocktails- the bar 'wet willys' began this, they were so strong though!!! We went to this Salsa latino bar called Mango's which had topless male dancers- the funniest and most cringeworthy I have seen!! We also went to Prive, to bed= no no to sleep but thats what it is called. It was great fun with huge big beds. We had met a group of guys from Manchester on a stag do, little did we know they would turn out to be proper idiots, they were not young but they certainly did act like the biggest kids going- doing it for the Brit reputationTHANKS!!! Amongst this group though was the Robbie Williams lookalike from the Las Vegas show 'Legends' we did not want to boost his ego so we claimed ignorance!!! haha. The night club Mansion was soooooo much fun, really big rooms and great music...We knew it was Brooke Hogan's launch party for her new show but not that there would be another of her family too.. Charlotte did her usual trick of getting us into VIP which was great work, we then spotted Hulk Hogan- THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!! haha we had to get a picture with him!!! We also hit Nikki Beach- this was fab, we went during the day on Sunday when the party gets going and stayed on partying thru the night in our Bikini's. We also hit Coconut Grove and the Nikki club there too, which used to be the former home of Mr Versace himself. it was fantastic!! the bars were great too... full of Preppy American college kids!!! Last but not least we hit the Hard Rock Complex in Miami- My first time at a proper Casino- a little warm up for Las Vegas!! This was a really good random night, after the casino we hit a bar where it was Ladies night- we drank for free!! The bar girls where crazy pouring shots in ya mouth and tabletop dancing. good fun. What a wicked Miami time was had!!
