Leaving on a rainy and sad Sunday!

August 12, 2008 · 1 Comment

Do you remember the first view out of my hotel window when I arrived 4 weeks ago?
That’s the version of my last sunday …You can hardly notice the yachtes wich are normaly very closed and right in front! So no beach or pool day – we had to spent the last dollars in the shopping mall!

Rainy, sad sunday morning!

And then I went straight to MIA airport to catch a cosy window seat for this overnight flight!
Waiting, waiting, waiting for this delayed Air Berlin machine ….

Waiting for departure!

Highlights at Coconut Grove

July 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Here are some spots at Coconut Grove where the after work life will take place. Some nice bars and restaurants are not far away and luckyly you don’t need a car to go there, it’s just a few steps away from the hotel.

I already watched Heath Ledgers last brilliant performance as Joker in “The Dark Knight” – you have to watch it, don’t miss it! This movie breaks already the $$ record at the box office here!

And finaly tried to find out what’s going on at hip South Beach on a sunday afternoon – but there was no chance coming through all that traffic at Ocean Drivce or even to get a parking lot ;-(
Gave up and drove home – will try again soon!
