Tuesday 20th December – Welcome to Miami (buenvenidos a Miami)


Another long drive today.  We had a hotel reservation to make!  We made good ground on our old friend Interstate 95 before getting back on the A1A coast road from Palm Beach.  As soon as we got onto the coast there were police cars and security vans everywhere.  We were passing Donald Trump’s Palm Beach Mansion.  His recent rise in political standing meaning that no risks could be taken with his and his family’s safety, clearly!  The properties on this section of coastline are unbelievable.  It made us do some more research and we discovered that we may have been passing the homes of the Williams sisters or Rod Stewart that very minute!  The best mansions were set back from the road with a private beach onto the Atlantic and then a private jetty out back in the inlet so that you have somewhere to park your yacht.  Ridiculously exclusive.




Taking this route may have slowed us down but it was worth it for the sea views. We arrived outside the New Yorker Boutique Hotel and found that we could park the RV right outside what turned out to be our room!  It was very motel-like.  Basic, but clean.

On our way in we had passed some nice looking restaurants.  We had agreed that, as it was our two months on the road-iversary, we should go out for a meal to celebrate.  Plus, neither of us would have to drive anywhere for a change so we could share a bottle of wine.  We went to a lovely Italian restaurant and enjoyed a rare meal out.  I’d like to say we had a crazy late night out but after a heavy and pricey meal out we thought we’d make the most of our hotel room instead… and by that of course I mean use the fast internet connection to get lots of blog updating done!
