Bayside on Monday :)
August 5, 2002
how many TB's could crash at this house...
The day was perfect. It was warm, but not too much, yay! It was narrated in English and in Spanish. The cruise went along Biscayne Bay. First we saw the downtown Miami skyline, the Port of Miami, etc.
Then we moved to the celebrity islands known as “Millionaires' Row.” There you could see the celebrity homes - so big and luxurious! The apartment buildings - if you could call them like that - where so lovely too. Didn't even want to think how much it'd cost living there, haha. Mmm, if I had that much money, I'd be traveling the whole time, haha.
The vessel had an air-conditioned lower salon, but the best was teh upper-deck where we were enjoying the fresh ocean breeze, perfect spot to take nice pics, hehe. Well, I didn't take so many. At that time I wasn't much into the photos, plus I didn't have a nice digital camera to make things easier... The cruise didn't last long, not even 2hrs, but it was fun, hehe.
After that we went back home to have lunch and then were hanging out with friends, just going downtown and a bit of shopping ;)

Enjoying Miami Biscayne Bay in a sightseeing cruise
If you aren't sure what to do during the day in Miami area, but know you'd like to see the bay. I'd recommend you to do some sightseeing, but in a cruise ;)
Just sit and relax as they would take you on a bilingual narrated sightseeing cruise along scenic Biscayne Bay. You'd see Miami's coastal sites; including downtown Miami skyline, Port of Miami, Brickell Key, Fisher Island and the “Millionaire's Row”, where all the rich and famous live.
There are tour operators over there. We took the Island Cruise Queen. The tour doesn't last too long, just 90min. Enough time to enjoy it. Visit their web for further details: http://www.islandqueencruises.com/
People start lining up an hour or more ahead of time, but it's pointless. On board, people get up and move around anyway. Plus you can skip the seats and head for the front of the boat (upper or lower level) and just lean against the railing - you get a better view that way because there is nothing over your head.
You will departure and arrive to Bayside, which is a nice area where you'd find restaurants and shops for later ;)
