Day 280 - Key Biscayne

Gregor and Ellen are still at the port dealing with immigration. It could take a while.

Meanwhile, we visit the Sea Aquarium on Key Biscayne. We arrived at the perfect time for the dolphin show. They seem pretty intelligent creatures and are great acrobats, jumping out of the water and doing double flips. Of course, they love to be rewarded with fish afterward.

After the show, we drove to the very end of Key Biscayne and enjoyed a lunch sandwich in the State Park by the sea. It looked so beautiful there with the turquoise-blue, transparent water. We briefly met a German family living in Massachusetts. They gave us their address and said we should come to visit sometime.

In the evening, we went to Miami Beach. The strip along the beach is extensive and straight. Hotel after hotel as far as the eye could see. We had never seen so many in one place before. We had a little “SwissTreat” ice cream at Howard Johnson, but it wasn’t as good as it looked on the menu, and the whipped cream wasn’t the real thing, either.

We spend another night by the mango tree in Nelleke’s yard.
