We'd set a wake-up call this morning to allow us plenty of time to get off the cruise. My mum was picking us up and so we had to be on time (if not early).
We chose to check ourselves off the ship, to save time. This meant Nikki couldn't have any breakfast. We made our way off the ship (which took about 10 minutes, when we were told it would take hours) at about 8.15am. We stood outside the terminal building and waited for mum and keith...
... and waited...
... and waited...
They arrived to pick us up at about 9am. Apparently they'd taken a wrong turn on the freeway and had ended up in suburbia. Those kids - it's a wonder that I manage to sleep at night, what with the worrying about them!
They drove us back to Westgate Resorts. Our apartments are cool. We have two - one for mum and Keith, and one for me, Nikki and Emma. Ours is the better one: it overlooks the beach. Emma got the best deal though - me and Nikki share a sofa bed (that dips in the middle), while Emma gets a room with a jacuzzi and a 6ft wide bed... to herself!
After catching-up by the pool and getting our bearings in the new area, we headed down to the Lincoln Street Mall to get a bite to eat. We ended up in Johnny Rockets - which was cool. The staff were giving us nickels to put old songs on the jukebox.
When we'd finished eating, we gave Emma, mum and Keith a tour of the South Beach area (which was packed) and went into Tattoos by Lou (another famous tattoo parlor). Emma and Keith are going to think about getting tattoos, my mum got one there and then... not!
Mmmmmmm, Johnny Rockets!
