Yo - So We Continued To A1A Beachfront Ave!

For all you Vanilla Ice fans out there - Saturday morning we drove down the A1A down to Miami Beach. The boats that are moored literally next to the main road are huge! The street seems to be lined with small size cruise boats!

This boat/ship was moored right alongside the road

We parked the car and headed straight for the beach - its been so long since we have had hot weather AND a beach! We walked down the beach and went for a swim and a sun bake (Kristy got so so burnt!). Sea planes flew overhead, lapping the beach and promoting beer and parties at nightclubs (including the pink taco party!)

We walked up Beach Ave, along all the restaurants and shops. Miami Beach is very cool!

We then drove into downtown Miami and went to 'Little Havana' - a suburb with a high Cuban population. Firstly we went to Domino Park. This is a courtyard full of tables where the locals come and play domino's against each other, and it is not taken lightly! They have a security guard on site to ensure there are no fights. A fight between 2 men almost broke out while we were there!

We then walked down the road a few blocks to a cigar factory. The man there was really nice and showed us the machines they used to make cigars and let us take some photos too.

After a short stop at Miami wharf for a beer and pina colada, we went back to Miami Beach for more beer and pina colada's and some dinner.

We saw this guy as we were driving back to Miami Beach. We thought he was weird just by the Spiderman toy he had hanging from the rear view mirror. Then he pulled out a karate hand puppet and was making the puppet punch him in the face as he was driving! Strange man.
