Tilbage på sporet af at få indhentet alt det som jeg ikke har fået delt med jer :-)
Nytårsaften i Miami var speciel!
Det var vores plan at bruge dagen på stranden og derefter finde en måde at klæde om til vores pæne tøj på inden vi skulle ud og spise. Efter middagen skulle vi tilbage til stranden hvor der ville være fyrværkeri kl. 00.
På grund af nytårsaften var trafik og parkering en udfording, og vi tænkte derfor det ville være bedst at komme tidligt - det betød til gengæld også at det blev lidt en udfordring at gå fra at være på stranden, til at skulle ud spise på en pæn restaurant.
(Især når man gerne ville have vasket alt sandet af sig..)
Vi fik det løst ved at gå fra stranden i god tid, og finde en restaurant hvor vi alle kunne sidde og få noget at drikke, og så skiftedes vi til at bruge deres ENE toilet til at klæde om (og så var der drengene som på mystisk vis fik et jakkesæt på i bilen....)
Jeg er sikker på at personalet på restauranten synes vi var lidt underlige da vi sad og ordnede make-uppen ved bordet, men heldigvis var resturanten jo tom (og jeg regner heller ikke med at skulle tilbage dertil), så det gik jo fint!
Imens vi var på denne restaurant slog klokken 12 hjemme i Danmark, og jeg kunne følge det hele igennem venner's billeder og videoer på nettet - det var lidt underligt.
Vi havde en super lækker (og dyr) middag på en fin restuarant som i øvrigt bød på underholdning fra en lille jazz-trio - det var helt fantastisk!
Vi kom desværre lidt for sent der fra på grund af noget bøvl med betalingen, og endte med at skulle løbe de sidste 3-4 blokke for at nå ned på stranden inden midnat.
Med ca. 30 sekunder igen, nåede vi menneskeflokken som var parkeret på Ocean Drive, og kunne derfra se fyrværkeriet - som nu altså ikke kan måle sig med fyrværkeriet i Aarhus.
Da fyrværkeriet var slut, blev stranden lukket (ja - lukket)! Politiet kørte simpelthen rundt på stranden for at smide folk væk.
Heldigvis var der en mindre folkefest i gang på Ocean Drive fra alle barene som spillede hele gaden op :-)

Back on track to catch up on all the things I haven't shared with you yet :-)
New Year's Eve in Miami was special!
Our plan was to spend the day at the beach, and then find some where to change into nicer clothes before going out for dinner. After dinner we would head back to the beach where there would be fireworks at midnight.
Because it was new year's eve, traffic and parking was a bit of a challenge, so we figured it would be best to come early - it did mean however that we had the challenge of going form beach wear to nicer wear without going back to the house - which was difficult because I really wanted to go sand-free..
We solved it by finding a restaurant where we could get something to drink while taking turns in their ONE bathroom to change our clothes (and then the guys of course just somehow put on their suits in the car...)
I am sure the staff at the restaurant must have thought we were kind of crazy to be doing out make-up at the table, but luckily we were the only people in there and I am also not planning on ever going back to that place, so it was fine!
While in that restaurant, the clock hit midnight back in Denmark, so I could see all my friends posting pictures and videos of their parties at home - that was strange!
We had a wonderful (and expensive) dinner at a very nice restaurant where the entertainment consisted of a jazz trio - it was amazing!
Unfortunately, we got out of the restaurant a bit late because of some issues with the payment, so we ended up having to run the last 3-4 blocks to beach to make it before midnight.
With around 30 seconds left, we arrived and had just enough time to catch our breath before the fireworks went off :-) I must add though, that the fireworks we have in Aarhus are better, but that's probably because 75% of all the people buy their own fireworks, so it truly lights up the sky!
When the fireworks were over, the beach closed down (closing a beach is very uncommon to me - I don't think I have ever heard of it before), and the police literally drove around making everybody leave.
Fortunately there was a big party on Ocean Drive because of all the bars playing their music loud enough for people (like us) to stand outside and make the street out dance floor :-)
