Hey,
as you might know I was in Miami Beach last week. I travelled there with some friends and we seriously had an amazing time. We made a lot of unforgettable experiences and of course I took some nice photos.
Monday 12/15
We stood up quite early on Monday and took the train and the shuttle bus to JFK airport, where our journey began. Our flight was at 2:15pm and we had a little but time left over, which was better than being late. When we finally were in the airplane we had to wait until 3pm, because our Captain was late, yeay! But we had a good flight. 3 hours later we reached MIA (Miami International Airport), where we were immediately confronted with amazing weather. We took a taxi to our hostel and at the Check in we were told that we actually would save money If we would go out with them later, so we did it.
At first we were really surprised, but being under aged in Miami isn't as difficult as in New York. We actually didn't have many struggles to go out there.
The bar we went to was pretty cool, it seemed to be one of those all American bars, with neon signs everywhere and with dinner seats in the corner.
The party was good and me and the other girls had a lot of fun, until we went back to the hostel to get some sleep for the next day.
Tuesday 12/16
On Tuesday we didn't do much at all. We started our day with brunch at the beach and stayed there the whole day. I went swimming a lot that day, because I wasn't used to the hoy climate yet, so I really needed to cool down sometimes. The rest of the day I was just lying on the beach, getting tanned, reading a book and as I found out later getting sunburned. On that day we first tried the dinner in the hostel, but decided to go out for dinner the rest of the week, if you know what I mean.
This evening the hostel organized a pub crawl, but we didn't want to pay $15 for 2/3 bars and for a club we wouldn't get in to.
Therefor we stayed on the patio talking and hanging out with some guys we recently met. But It was fun anyway.
Wednesday 12/17
Today we decided to do an Everglades Safari, which was so much fun! At first I was really scared of the alligators and the crocodiles, but after the Airboat Tour. I was just excited and happy. After the Airboat ride we saw an alligator show, which really was interesting and calming, because the guide told us, that alligators aren't rooted lay evil. In the fact there are really calm and lazy animals and to my surprise the kill less people then dogs do!
After the show the guide showed us the difference between an alligator and an crocodile baby, which was interesting to, even if I can't remember it anymore. :D
Later that trip we had the possibility to take some photos with the Baby Crocodile Schnappi, which was sooooooo unbelievable cute and soft-feeling.
We were back at the hostel around noon, so we tried the lunch, but decided to buy some fruits in 711 again. Than we went back to the beach and laid there the whole day, until we were hungry. So we went out for dinner at the Ocean Drive again.
In the evening Henriette and me decided to stay in the hostel, while Lina and Amma tried to get into the LIV club. At first I was sad that I didn't had the opportunity to try to get in there, but than we met some nice people on the patio, who went out to buy some alcohol for us later. -> we just started our own party, which was so much better than the others party! because of course they didn't get into the LIV.
We really had a lot of fun that day.
Thursday 12/18
On Thursday we just laid at the beach the whooole Day. Because of all the jelly fishes and a swordfish I saw we didn't go swimming, but stayed at the beach instead, which gave me the possibility to finish my book "the Cellar", which was soooo good! Really, read it! In the evening when we got hungry we decided to buy some pizza and eat at the beach. BAD IDEA! At first the seagulls didn't care about our pizza, but out of nowhere a seagull attacked me and bit me in my forehead. Scared and shocked as I was I throw the Pizza far backwards, which was actually really clever, because the seagulls followed the pizza and let the other girls finish there pizza without being attacked.
That evening we were able to go out again, at least to the bar, not to the club.
The bar wasn't spectacular, it was the other hostels bar, but we got some booze and I had a really good conversation with a Canadian about cars and the Autobahn. :D When the others went to the Club "Story" we weren't allowed to stay in the a bar any longer, so went back to the hostel. And on my way I saw one of my favorite stores here in the USA: DASH! And it's not because of the karDASHians, it's because they sell my favorite brand wildfox.
When we we got back to the hostel a surprise hit me like a boomerang. Some guys we met on Monday were back in the hostel, and I wasn't sure if that was good.
Anyway, we decided to take a walk with them and they showed us the Versace Villa, in the middle of the night.
Around 2 am the day ended and we all went to back. Especially me, because of the Ski-jumping qualification the next morning.
Friday 12/19
On Friday we decided to go shopping in Lincoln Road, where you can find common stores as well as typical Miami Stores. We stayed there a few hours and ate froyo and Laduree Macarons, which were soo delicious. Afterwards we went back and went by the Espanola Way, a street with many spanish restaurants and bars. All of us really liked the flair there, so we decided to take dinner there later. In between we went to the beach for maybe 2 hours or so.
When it was finally dinner time, we went back to the Espanola where we wanted to eat at a Mexican Grill, which was overbooked, so we went to an Cuban Restaurant instead. BEST DECISION EVER! I looooved my food so much! I had Ropa Veja, which basically was shredded beef with rice and black beans and a delicious sauce.
Later that evening we went out again, this time to the bar from Monday again. And seriously we had a lot of fun. Before we went there we met some nice Aussies at the hostel, so we spent our time at the party with them. Unfortunately the evening didn't end that good for me, but that happens.
Saturday 12/20
On Saturday I stood up so early, too early. I still wasn't feeling better from last night, but I wanted to watch Ski-jumping so badly. Therefor I walked to the Beach to watch the stream. Afterwards I went straight to bed again, until the others stood up around 11 am, when we decided to go to the beach again.
I didn't stay at the beach long, because I didn't feel like lying in the ground that day, so I went back to the hostel, where I met the Aussies from the day before and skyped with my family. When I finished skyping. I felt like shopping and went to the karDASHian store, where I found a really nice Wildfox shirt.
In the evening I went to bed early, because I didn't feel like going out that night.
Sunday 12/21
Same as Saturday basically.
I stood up early and watched ski-jumping, before the others woke up. When they finally woke up we went out for Brunch, which was seriously amazing! Afterwards went to the Bayside market, where we spent our morning.
But in my opinion the bayside market wasn't that special and I think the others thought the same, so we went back to Miami Beach.
The rest if the day we were must lying on the beach and I went to bed early again, because I still didn't feel good.
Monday 12/22
Even if we our flight was late that day, I didn't feel like going to the beach, because I felt sick. Therefor I just stayed on the patio and chatted a little with some friends back in Germany. At 9pm our flight started and we flew through a Thunderstorm to the EWR (Newark Airport). From where we took a taxi back to the Campus. And finally at 3am the next morning our journey was finally over, sadly. But we all had a good time. And I'm looking forward to an reunion in Miami Beach someday.
See u.
P.S. Photos will be added later, there are still on my camera.
