Florida Part 2 - Miami, Everglades and Florida Keys

Hi all,

the 2nd part of my florida trip covers miami and the area around it. After arriving inMiami at around 7 in the morning, we headed straight for a car rental company. We managed to rent a cheap car (US$170 for 2 days inclusive of $44 worth of petrol). We then drove directly towards south beach (a famous beach in Miami, and the US). Although it was a sunday morning, the beach wasn't filled with people. We later found out that because most people were busy partying for the past few days and thus did not flock the the beaches over the weekends. Well, the beach was ok, with a nice sky and a nice weather. Nonetheless, i find it similar to what we have in sentosa.

Well, before we checked in to our hotel, we had brunch at a nearby restaurant. We had omelettes and other breakfast sets. Its realyl quite comfy to just sit by the beach and have a nice meal. Here's what we had:

Egg Benedict (the 2 white lumps are poached eggs)

Waffles

Chef Omelette

Some Egg Dish... can't remember the name (and i had this)

Fish Wrap

Well, the next day was a llooooong day for you an and me. As the rest head back to Philly, the 2 of us drove to everglades, the only wildlife natural reserve in the US. It's really not too bad. We caught glimspes of crocodiles (a lot of them), different types of birds, and even a nice sunset! Well, all i can say is that you can really speed within the nature reserve... hahah!

The last part of the tour was a LOOOOONNNNGGGG drive to florida keys. Well, Florida keys is a whole chain of islands that are connected by a series of bridges. its about 230km from Miami and we actually drove there and back overnight. Well, it was cool having seafood dinner beside the beach and most importantly, we reach the southern most point of USA! It was really a cool place. It has many pubs which were still open at 11pm, and its basically a resort city... a cool place to visit if you're just here to chill out.

Rights, that more or less concludes my Florida trip. I think i might not be able to blog much in the days to come. I'm having an exam in 2 days time and I will be flying off to the west coast about 5 hours after the exam! haha... till then folks!
