Hurra ! Managed to sleep til´ 6.15 today. Maybe tomorrow we´ll make it all the way to 7 o´clock :-).
After checking out Miami yesterday, we started driving towards Orlando. Only drove a couple of hours though, since we´re not in a hurry - we´re not supposed to be in Orlando before Saturday. Had a lunchbrake for a few hours at IHOP , and drove a bit past Palm beach, were we had a quick glance at the huge mansions of the rich n´famous.
Quite disgusting actually how fast the scenery changes over here from these welthy, over-the-top fancy neighbourhoods to really poor slum type of ghetto areas , were you almost expect witnessing some drive-by shooting gang drama as you pass.
Yesterday evening we found a more budget-suitable place to stay. A semi-shabby motel at the roadside. The room is clean enough though (although the first cockroach was spotted this morning....:-) ) and there´s Wi-Fi in the room + a pool, so we´re good :-). After settling in, we had a quick drive to the local supermarket to fill up on our drink supplies, and then stopped for dinner at the local barbeque restaurant. Todays special : A rack of ribs with a choice of to side dishes.....9.99$ No need to say, none of us could finish this huge plate of ribs.....welcome to the US of A .....everything´s BIG.
Weather warm and humid, today even with sunshine :-)
Kids n´Patrick in the pool now, we´ll be driving a little further towards Orlando today....but no rush, we only have under 100 km left to Orlando, so we´ll see, maybe we´ll find something interesting worth looking at on the way
