So this will be my last ever travel blog it's actually quite sad :( I still havent reflected fully on the last 5 months and taken in everything I have done! The credit crunch has robbed me of being optimistic about jobs to consider and its more like who will consider me lol! Still I guess I will wait for it to ride out day dream about travelling and let a few months pass before I settle down in to a career.
So Miami the final leg!! I arrived a couple of hours before Nat and Sarah (who were coming from the UK) so jus tbummed around the lobby chatting to some guys from England and Ireland who thought I went to Havard because of my snazzy hoodie (which I had worn practically every day of my road trip haha) I could have blagged it but I think it was pretty obvious I was a tourist once I opened my cockney gob! Anyway I was very excited about seeing my best buddy Nat last time I saw her was two months before when she came to visit me for xmas and new year in Sydney (massive flight for her - was very grateful!) she brougt along her collegue and friend Sarah who is fabulous I am pleased to report! As soon as they arrived we checked in to a 3 bed room instead of a dorm (following a heated discussion about being placed in seperate dorms) - was happy we had our own room for the week as we could be messy and not have to worry about offending anyone - however I think I may have offended Sarah and Nat with my messiness lol!!! We dumped our stuff and headed to the beach to catch the last hour or so of sun and have a walk around. We decided to head out that night to a mexican resturant which also doubled up as a tequila bar! Several frozen magahertias later we decide to discover the night life and trot up and down washington avenue, when I nearly fainted at Nat's suggestion we go to the shisha pipe bar (very out of character for nat lol) so we ordered a big pipe of apple tobacco and a bottle of wine! Nat and sarah gave up half way through and left it to me which resulted in a very fuzzy head haha oh well, waste not, want not!
The rest of the week followed similar patterns beaching all day and then eaiting or drinking all night lol! We had total rest and relaxation and were little piggies!
We did a day trip to Orlando to visit Disneyland and we were very unimpressed that the bus journey was two hours longer than predicted and we had to leave half hour earlier than we thought so we basically paid 130 dollars for 5 hours of disney fun and it was soooo busy! But having said that I got to go on the Peter Pan ride and Nat got to go on Winnie the Pooh which were our main concerns lol! We also went on Pirates of the Carribean and discovered a new model of johnny depp which appears throughout the ride and he was verrrrrrrry hot!! The funniest moment of the day for me was sea gull gate!! We all got hot dogs for lunch in order to save time and Nat had a sea gull launch at her full pelt peck her and steal her hot dog!!! Then I see them notice me behind her and I threw my hot dog full pelt at the floor to create a diversion - sarah got away with it! Me and Nat went to the next hot dog stand and explained our ordeal in order to obtain a free hot dog haha! I dont think I have ever heard nat scream so loud and me get rid of food so readily!
One night we decided to be posh and go for a classy meal only to get dragged into an Italian resturant by a man dressed as Julius Ceaser and then get waited on by about ten Italian men, one was leading me to the table by my hand which was most embarrasing and then he tried to feed me my pasta!!!!!! CRINGE! One other waiter had a uni-brow that I really wanted to get a pic of but felt it might be uncouth haha!
On our last night in Miami (and my last night out on my whole trip!) we had a big night out at the Tropical Mango Cafe - it was a big salsa club and me and Nat had a little salsa dance with two guys even though we did not know what we were doing lol! There is a bit cuban culture in Miami and the people were really good at it! We managed to find some 'friends' in the form of three inappropriate men in the RnB room and I think the rest will be between me nat and sarah haha another cringe moment! Before we went to the main club we went for drinks at a bar a couple of doors down from our hotel and I got told lots of jokes by a random drunk and then we headed to an Irish Bar down Washington Ave which was brillaint we met two random Welsh lads and had some banter with them! We did have a great last night and week and we were seriously tanned by the end of it with some good sun bathing efforts had by all!
We had a day shopping out on a pier which was all open air and very nice, it had some live music going on too and on our way their we drove past star island where people like Will Smith live!
Miami as a place is really funny you see bad face lifts and over worked out men on every corner, dogs in couture (very cute if a little weird), art deco buildings that remind me of Vice City on the playstation lol and a lot of spanish/cuban influence! i'd like to go back but would take a lot more money then u can have a real fun time in Miami as its very showy so take ur best glad rags!
We all headed to the airport to go home on the Sunday and had one last mexican meal (haha) Nat had a cocktail the size of her head then we got on our seperate flights and when I woke up I was home...crazy!
It feels like I have never left and I am already longing for another adventure but I have soooo many good memories!
Everyone reading this go travel and explore!!!! xx
