Hello everyone,
I thought i had best do a blog to let people know I arrived in Miami ok.
Its been a good few days but we have been absolutley shattered from all the travelling! Big thanks to Liz's dad who at 2am Monday morning drove us down to London (and made us a packed lunch bless him!). We flew at 9.30 am and had a really good smooth flight - the 9 hours passed fairly quickly thank god!
We landed in Miami and it was absolutley pouring down - but the heat hit us straight away! We got in a taxi and went to our hostel and by the time we got there all the roads had flooded - he dropped us off and we had to get out into a small lake - straight away everything we owned was soaked! We walked into the hostel like drowned rats. The Hostel is fine and we have had the room to ourselves until today when 2 new people came in.
The first night we were really tired as we hadnt slept in about 30 hours so we just went to the beach (after the rain had stopped) and went for a swim and played frisbee. The water was so nice and clear! Ace! We then went for food and had an earlyish night.
Tuesday we got up and went straight to the beach - it was so hot but there was a bit of wind so was bearable. Went swimming again. I wish we hadnt stayed as long though as we came back in the afternoon and we were all burnt - Liz and Carol glowed they were that red. The longer we left it the more red we got. We shouldnt have stayed so long on the beach! Doh! Damn the wind and its deceptive ways. So yeah - Liz and Carol are now in agony - im not too bad apart from my ankles. And my side. And my right arm ha!
We have just been to Downtown Miami and walked around there - its a really nice harbour area and lots of nice shops etc. But the best thing was the air conditioned buses - heaven!
Its now the afternoon and i have come inside for a bit as again its to hot - im going to go to the beach tonight and might try and take a few photos also as not took many yet!
I hope everyone is ok - to the Ofsted Crew - i hope work is managing without me - on the plane the front page of the times was an article about ofsted.. a thrilling read for the journey!
Mum - make Amy show you had to use the internet properly so you can message me on this site and keep in touch - also can one of the family print this out possibly and give it to the grans etc.. Im sure they would like to have a read.
Thats it for now - we get the train to Orlando tomorrow and stay there only for a couple of nights - i think there is a pool at our hostel so cant wait!
I hope the weather cools down a bit though! When i have some pics i'll put them on here also!
Speak to you all soon!
