This was our first port of call back into USA so we had to present our passports and go through immigration. What a pain. They are so without a smile or sense of humour and with only 2 officers on duty it took forever to get everyone through, so our tour got away to a late start.
Our coach took us firstly to the Everglades for an air boat ride across the alligator infested swamp waters and the skimmed across the grass growing in the area. There was not much animal life around and we only saw a glimpse of a smaller alligator hiding in his hole in the trees. We saw an alligator sunning himself behind the bus when we returned so that was our close encounter. The boat ride was fun though. Holds about 30 people and can really move when it gets going.
We then went to the beachside suburb of Miami to see where all the rich and famous live, do coffee in the sidewalk eateries hoping to be seen.
Our next stop was for lunch at a Cuban restaurant. Veeeery forgettable. Actually horrible. We all complained. one of the worst meals I have been offered anywhere.
From there we went by coach to Biscayne Bay for a scenic cruise to see where the rich and famous live or play. We saw the house Elizabeth Taylor owned and many others lovely homes owned by the wealthy people of the world. Some have homes on an island only accessible by helicopter or boat.
It was a long day as we had been out for 8 hours and it was very hot. We were glad to bet back on board.
Australia is still the best place we have seen.
