Wow, what a day! I hired a bike from my hostel & took my self off heading to South Beach. My first destination was of course DASH & Miami Ink, however 'cause I was a keen bean I got there 2 hours ahead of opening time :( so I decided to continue riding this loooooong path which took me right to the end of the beach, with stunning views (check out photos). Little did I know I was actually at the bridge which takes you into downtown Miami! So I thought it would be clever to ride over this huuuuge bridge and get to the other side! Thank god I did! I ended up at 'Star Island' and 'Palm Island', which were gated community areas, home to the rich and famous. After a cheeky smile & a very cute, British "hello" the security guards soon let me in. Seriously the houses and accompanying yachts are jaw dropping!!! (Again, look at pics).
Of course, there had to be a comedown to all this excitement.... I got a puncture! Bare in mind I'm about 15 miles from home :(. Cut a long & hot/sweaty/disastrous story short I got the bus back to mine & collected a new bike!
Now DASH and Miami Ink were open so I trekked back to there where OMG I couldn't contain my excitement! First I thought I saw Kat Von D but by the time I locked this dreaded bike up I missed my opportunity to meet her (turns out anyways there's a lookalike of her that works there). Unfortunately, there was no Ami James or Chris Nunez so the shop was a bit of a let down. BUT DASH WASN'T!! The only items I could afford were a pen, pencil, keyring and nail file & that still hit my card hard. If you're a Kardashian fan read on, if not go to next chapter.... The store is not what you think it'll be like! It's actually a bit scruffy looking and dull- not doll as you'd expect. There was also 2 security guards following you around and the assistants were unfriendly! It was ridiculously expensive too, but they sold Robs Arthur George socks for like $20! Nevertheless, I still loved it and you can choose pens etc with any member of the fams signatures on (I got the Kim collection). I'm more excited to see the LA & NY stores really.
The weather today has been MAD. I've never seen rain like it. The streets flooded in about 2 minutes, but then cleared up after about 5, so weird! That's all of interest for today...I'm now back at the hostel ready for a shower & early night after all the riding & excitement!!
Sorry for all the Kardashian dribble... I hope you are all well & England's weather is better than here! Love you, Katie xxxxxxxxxxxxx
