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!

Boarding still in progress!

Jepp got it - so time to fall asleep!
Puh, got all the stuff safe through the customs – but now have to tidy up and get ready for the next trip

….after a quick beauty and styling session the farewell programm went on!
We went to Miami’s Design Destrict, an upcoming area with many galleries, interior design and art shops!
Not yet realy fancy and well known but wiht high potential…..it looks much more pretty at night!
Here you can find such crazy and special installations:

"The Living Room" at 40th Street

Good question: Would you love to live here?? I don't know..
But we were not looking for any propertie here – we just wanted to enjoy the “I love Miami Spice” Menue at the Grass Lounge! One of the best places in town, with an amazing only outside atmosphere and a realy cool floral interior …

Starter: Yellowfin Tuna Tataki

That was the best dinner I had within this 4 weeks in Miami – and for sure I had the chance to see lots of different restaurants and places! But our farewell programm did not end here…
Then we went to a fashionshow wich took place in one of these brand new skyscrapers also near this Design District and was kind of promotion for new investors or neighbors! So we went on the 7th floor to a beautyfull pool area and got lots of strong sponsored welcome drinks before the show! The Catwalk was right in the pool – a realy cool scenery and great fashion – especially the bikini collection of Kristina Ashley!

So cute bikinis - every was worth to buy!

It was toooo hot - we had to cool down!

And last but not least the “Harter Kern” went on clubbing in Brikell at a brazilien party! Olé olé olé!

Yesterday we just relaxed and hang around at the southest point of Key Biscayne. With its lighthouse and sandy dunes this beach is more or less similar to this special northsee atmosphäre. We were looking for lguanas which should be located there but could not find any! Luckily I had not to drive and could make more pictures during our ride – we took Miras super fast and fancy canary yellow Ford Mustang, awesome….

Paparazzi on the way...

Lovely Fotoshoot at the Beach
And on our way back we made a stop at the Rusty Pelican and had a nice dinner with a perfect view of the Miami Downtown skyline! That was a lovely fotoshoot, we could not get enough of this great atmosphere. And also enjoied a sundowner as the sun went down…….

Sunny Sunday passes by!

Holá chicas y chicos!
now I got great support of beach-, shopping- and clubbing-affine Sapies here in Miami! Mira, Thomas and Graham arrived last week too so we are a big Sapient crew here exploring day- and even nightlife wiht the Miami locals here 
It was realy fun….
Saturday first we went to a big big warehouse sale in the convention center and made some great deals! Bought fancy jeans and beach stuff for only a few bucks. After this stressfull shopping marathon we had to get fresh energy at Sushi Samba to be ready for the crazy and crowded South Beach!

Just walking down Lincoln Road we arrived at the famous South Beach very closed to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and found some place to put our towels ….
It was realy crowded and the water was like taking a hot bath!

Holá que tal? Hope you had a great and sunny weekend as I had.
Yesterday I explored the North Beach area a little bit more: first took a sunbath at Surfside Beach – I dont’t know why it is called so, there was no surfer at all – then stayed a little bit more south at North Shore Beach. So I could tick off two more beaches from the long long list of the offical greater miami beach guide!
But due to there was no shady palm at all I got too much of the miami sunshine.

Getting almost sunburnt
And after the relaxing afternoon on the beach I had to do my chores, little household things.
You can meet a lot of funny people at a coin laundromat here in Coconut Grove!

Waiting, waiting, waiting...
Luckily this was a very fast washing programm…
This sunday started with very heavy and rainy thunderstorm and I was wondering if the snorkling trip could be realised under this rough weather conditions at the Key Biscayne National Park.

Starting sunday like this....
But it pulled ahead and we could put out to the ocean more than an hour driving to the world’s third-larges reef! 95% of this National Park is underwater. It was awesome, snorkling very close to big barracudas, papageifishes and big swarms of other kind of colourful marina animals….

And luckily the shops are also open on sundays I started today the big shopping tour at the dolphine mall based on Melissa’s enormous list of local insider tips! What a crazy “Reizüberflutung”…

Shopping Marathon started at Dolphine Mall
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!
