miami day 2

the 'boxer party' ended at 4am and we woke up 730 for breakfast. i always get up late so i was really surprised that i was up that early on my vacation. the only bad thing about eating in the hotel is that the food is ridiculously over priced.and that goes for every hotel. after we ate our breakfast we went to the concierge and asked about the city and boat tour that i saw online. there was 2 trips, leaving at 930am and 1230pm. we opted for the latter one. so we walked around the boardwalk then took a shower and got ready for the tour.the bus picked us up in front of the hotel, the good thing was we were the first one in the bus together with the other people from the hotel that wanted to do the tour.he drove us around southbeach, art deco district, the marina, coconut grove, coral gables, little Havana and Miami. that trip took about 2hours and 30 mins. after the bus tour, the driver/tour guide dropped us off to bayside for our boat tour. the place looked so familiar and it was only after the boat tour and we were walking around Bayside that i realized that I've been here before. but that was like 5 years ago. anyways, the boat tour was extraordinary. it was also a 2 hour 30 min tour. we went up close and personal to the marina where they film the TV series and movie, Miami vice and i forgot the other movie with Mel Gibson?its at the tip of my tongue..aaaarrrggghhh!!cant remember. then we went to fisher island and where the stars lived...star island. the houses, oh I'm sorry , the mansions were unbelievable. i thought i would only see those mansions @ cribs (MTV show) ..it was a surreal experience. famous celebrities live in star island or has a mansion ova there. stars like rosie o donnell, elizabeth taylor, scarface, julio iglesias, tony mottolla, the guy that owns payless shoe store( who we saw fishing), shaquil o neal, tony parker, famous football players that i really don't know who they are coz i don't watch football, gloria estefan..and many more.it was a great tour!

we ate at bayside right after the tour, walked around and took pictures. i had to buy my bikini ova there since i couldn't find anymore swimwear in NYC coz everything in the store is now for the fall season. going back to the hotel was annoying coz of the traffic. i literally felt like i was in manila. its worse than the traffic here in NY.it was really a manila traffic alright.

when we got to the hotel we rested for like an hour and hit the pool. night swimming is the best.after 3 hours..lolz. we went back to the room and chilled with my hommie alan again..we didn't really finished what we were drinking the night before so ...he was there to finish whatever's left.lolz!we told him about the tour which he got really jealous and wanted to do the same tour we did. after a few hours he left and we went to sleep.
