We woke up late, but all we had to do today was go to the
beach!!
We stayed on the beach until 3:00pm and drove the 45 minutes
back to the hotel. We couldn’t take
pictures on the beach but did take one interesting pictures that we have
included below.
Along the way back, we stopped at a grocery market and drug
store to get some items to take on the ship. Then it was shower time and we
went out for dinner
The town and the beach front in Fort Lauderdale is really
crowed as there are 5 cruise ships in port today and probably another 5 ships
tomorrow. That’s about 13 – 15 thousand
people extra in town!
Barb wanted an authentic Cuban sandwich, so we drove about
15 minutes to a very local place called Nuevo’s Cubano’s and ate outside as
there was no seating inside. This restaurant
has been owned by the same family who started it 238 years ago. The sandwich we had was very, very good.
After that we drove back to the hotel and then walked along
the main road in front of the hotel that runs along the beach with the beach on
one side of the road and lots of shops on the other side.
The area was crowded – perfect weather for a great weekend.
Then it was back to the hotel for a good night’s sleep
before we board the ship tomorrow.
All-in-all, we have had fun at the beach, done a little
sightseeing and ate at some really good restaurants with local food. If the weather is this good during the cruise, we will be very happy!
Night from our last night in Fort Lauderdale.
