Miami No. 2

My recital is over... So I have time again to upload the...
promised pictures of the last day in Miami!
(Tuesday, March 11)


One of the few times on the beach. (at 8am, before the Chinese group wanted to leave for the main event of the day: Lunch! It's common to order many different dishes together and then everybody takes from every plate.


Than the group left for Tallahassee and Ai and I spent the day in downtown Miami. A mixture of tropical exotic athmosphere and cheap and ugly looking houses. On our way to this nice place (on the picture) Ai said, she felt like in a suburb of Shanghai.


The parks were very nice though:


And everybody was speaking Spanish! None of the busdrivers could understand us. (Hopefully not because of our accent) And we didn't have great experiences with the public transport. I mean, it was not a surprise, we were already warned about that. But at first it didn't look that bad, we found a bus-stop and even the schedule, that said, busses will come every "10 to 30 minutes" was roughly correct, as we waited exactly "just" 30 minutes. But when we wanted to go back to our Inn in the evening, the bus stopped after half of the way because it was too late and it didn't run further at this time. (8pm!) So we waited 30 min for the next bus of another line, that didn't arrive. Then again 30 min, but still no bus. Fortunately it was warm at least so it didn't matter too much, standing there for 1 1/2 hours until we finally got back. :(


Interesting looking house/shop on one of the not so pretty streets.

Park with palm trees and nice chairs, but with many weird people hanging around there.
