♫♫♫ Here's looking at you kid..missing all the things we did.....♫♫♫

31 October..In Fort Lauderdale it rained all night and we woke to a flooded car park in the Motel which made it difficult to load the van. We got a bit wet :)

 

Flooded motel car park in Fort Lauderdale

We went to T Mobile to get my phone unblocked...grrrr....a glitch that stopped my phone internet for a couple of days. All fixed now. Set off for South Beach. I still prefer Daytona Beach. It was hard to see South Beach because of all the high rise housing along the coast.

Miami itself has had a lot of flood water today and lots more rain to come. Drove to Key Biscayne and the sky turned black black black and then it absolutely bucketed down. Traffic was just crawling along and the wipers could hardly keep up.

Miami is a pastel city...shades of Miami Vice lol. Lots of high rise buildings and condos.

Nasty weather over Miami  

We drove from Miami to Key Largo. The rain by this time was so heavy we came to a bridge and it looked like it just disappeared. All good Halloween fare lol. I said to Lee maybe it just drops off to nothing...then I thought maybe it does and scared myself :(

A Bridge to Nowhere

Now at a Holiday Inn at Key Largo. Key Largo is also like you might imagine it. Most of the motels are seedy little dives...the sort of places you could imagine people on the run  hiding out in. I've got to stop this Halloween stuff hehehe. Anyway our motel has the original African Queen in it's grounds but we can't see it till daylight. It's still raining. Coming from South Australia which is the driest state in the driest continent all this rain is quite a novelty although it makes for cautious driving. 

Now we are tucked up in bed watching Jamie Lee Curtis in the original Halloween movie. Up until now the scariest thing was the high waisted jeans but I just caught myself holding my breath as the bad dude broke down the laundry door while Jamie Lee Curtis was trying to break through a window. Gonna have the screaming abdabs tonight for sure :(
