Sorry for the delay in upadating but my last hostel did not have internet access!!! But ime here now so thats what counts!! (did u guys miss me!!,  hehe!)

Anyway i left the mooney household yesterday at about 12 and got to the station to find that the train was 3 hours late, but they were compensating for that by bussing us to another station. Mean while i met a really cool australian (and yes its another girl!!!, YEA BABY YEA!) so we kept eachother company on the buss and train journy! MB had also prepared me for the journy becasue my day sack was stuffed full of poptarts (the oreo cookie kind) and home made cookies!!!

In the end the train was only 1 hour late!, however i had banked on the station in miami having an ATM so that i could get some money (i had non!). However they did not so i couldent take the buss as planned, which is the cheapest option, like 2 bucks. The area around the train station is a really dodgy area! So i had to take a taxi wich cost me $40!!! i almost died! but at the end of the day it was my only option!

I arrived at my hostel, wich is quite nice and just dumped my stuff and went exploring! Which means i took a walk down OCEAN DRIVE! and back to check out the sceen, however i was truly reminded that i was only 18 by the ammont of security and I.D. checking. So i headed back to the hostel  and met an ausse in the room who had just come back from the beach and was heading out, so i joined him! (luckly he was 24 so could purchase drinks!)

Oh yea before i continue my hostel is right next to the Royal Palm, the hotel we stayed in last time and the hostel is right on the allyway where we ate dinner at an italian resteraunt one night!!! What a cooincedence!

Anyway we went to the same irish bar we had breakfast in last time we were here, which as it turns out has a great night sceen!! So we got trashed, played pool, played shuffle board and most importantly wached england get a TRASHING against South Africa!!

This morning i packed up all my stuff and walked the 2 miles (down ocean drive) to my new hostel, the jazz on south beach! Whcih is where ime wrighting this blogg now, and by the looks of it is a really nice place + the staff actually no what they are dooing! But for now ime probably going 2 go 2 the beach and relax after i find someone to go with!
