At 8:30 the first hop-on hop-off for the South Beach loop set out, in a light and refreshing rain. They sat on the to deck of the bus and were glad for the complementary ponchos.
On the way out the bus passed again the Freedom Tower, originally a newspaper office, then a processing spot for Cubans fleeing Castro, now a museum.
They also passed the cruise port
South Beach is a lovely area with many restaurants and hotels connected to movies and celebrities.
When they returned, they were joined by friend Terra, and the duo became a trio... A trio soon to board MSC Divinia and cut connection with the rest of the world...
Part 2
Our embarkation time was set at 2, but Mia read this was more of a 'suggestion' so we headed over shortly before noon and were on the boat by 12:30. The dining room was closed, so we dropped off our luggage at the bag check, then hit the buffet for a snack and were pleased with the variety and taste of our selections.
After taking in sustenance, we began our exploration by taking an elevator to the top deck - and nearly crashing a wedding
(In the room behind Terra there is a wedding ceremony in session)
So we fled downwards and found the three pools (third one was too big to photograph)
I grabbed yet another shot of the Miami skyline, the third most beautiful in the world
Then we sought out the spa, only to find that they charge for steam and sauna rooms :(
Then we found all of the snazzy bars
And finally it was time we could go to our room
After that, fire drill and then a 2-3 hour dinner (we hope) and a blissful week of no internet.
Bye bye!
What are the other two most beautiful skylines?
