Pre Cruise Holiday - second day in Fort Lauderdale

Next day morning I have found the bed in the hotel was so good that we called it a heavenly bed.
It is for sale if you want to have it.
$7,000?!$%# ;-{
I might have to think about it twice…hh
As we walked out of the hotel, another fine day was waiting for us.
There were many people on the beach enjoying sunbathing.
But, we were heading to town to meet up with Rico.
Rico was Assistant F & B manager from the world cruise 2010.
He sent me a message through Facebook that he will be in Fort Lauderdale.
Thanks to internet high-tech!
He now is working on Westerdam as F & B manager and would like to catch up with us for lunch.
We were so glad to see him again.
He was still in uniform as he only had couple of hours to spare in between his duties.
We found a cozy looking European restaurant on Las Olas Blvd. and had pizza and pasta.
It was nice to catch up with him after nearly 2 years when we saw him last.
After he returned to his work shortly after lunch, we caught a taxi to pick up the rental car on our 2nd day of Fort Lauderdale.
We got wheels and GPS!

Beautiful day waits for us as we walk out of the hotel
