Welcome to Miami
Saturday, January 06, 2007
So after a hard working start to our secondment we finally got our 3 weeks leave and the girls flew in to check out our pad and go on holiday with us.
We hit the much anticipated Miami on Saturday the 16th for 4 days. We stayed in a great little hotel called Hotel Shelley which was on Collins drive which is a block away from Ocean Drive and South Beach. We had free drinks every night at the hotel and breakfast every morning at Hotel Leon next door. We hit a club called Opium Gardens on the first night and the club was really amazing but the weather was shite, so it wasn't as busy as usual. The next morning we hit the beach for some long awaited sunshine.
South Beach:
We did a bit of shopping on Lincoln drive and went out the next night to Nicky's Beach which is a club right at the end of South Beach - it was packed with crazy people, but we still had a great time.
We spent most of our time on the beach which was excellent. On the last full day ther we took a tour of Miami which was brilliant - we drove through all the main suburbs and we went on a boat to go check out all the stars crib's. Coral Gables which is one of the most expensive suburbs was really pimpin and right in the middle of it is the Venetian Pool which is actually a pulic swimming pool - check it out:
The boat ride in the bay makes you wish you had a house there. We got to check out such massive machette party houses that I would give a left toe nail to own.
Check the gallery for all the rich and famous mansions we got to see - like the one below who belongs to the guy who invented Viagra.
So we had a great time for the little time we were there - we hired a SUV (a dud one) and hit the road for Orlando. The only thing that I was dissapointed about is that I didn't get to see Horatio *sigh*.
You must check the gallery out for the other 83 pics which explain it all.
