Fort Lauderdale - Florida

I'm back on the road again, and have left Austin and the many people I met behind. The trip here was pretty uneventful considering I had to catch two planes and two buses to get to the hostel here in Fort Lauderdale. I was looking forward to the sun and the sand after surviving almost two weeks of sub-zero temperatures in Austin. So today I will be working on those tan lines.

Last night I had to share a room with an older guy from Canada in a bedroom of four beds. It was just him and I. He snored, and boy did he snore. I couldn't sleep and then at 3.30pm he gets up, switches on the light and proceeds to pack his bags, shower and get dressed. After noticing that I was awake he proceeded to tell me that he was heading to Key West and wanted to get a jump on the mornings traffic. QUEEN! as if I care. He should have packed his bags before going to bed and got dressed in the common area. I now, so far, have the whole room to myself, and I hope it stays that way.

There are a few cute boys staying here, but that's what they are, just boys. I reckon they range from 18-22 years of age. Then at the other spectrum there are a lot of oldies here too, male and female, who appear to be long term residents.

I think I'll hi the bars tonight and see what this town has to offer
