eight: end of a hectic tour

so i finished my first tour and i feel fine. the drive back from orlando to miami was very hectic. some people on the bus had other itineraries than others with stops in kennedy space centre, palm beach and fort lauderdale. however, we got a delay in ksc and i had to drop of people at six different hotels. but enough of that practical stuff that i have to cope with and that is just part of the job i guess.

kennedy space centre is ok but not wow. it's cool to see the imax movie and sure it's nice to fantasize about going to space as well. but it's just a necessary stop for space geeks i guess or if you get the entrance ticket for free. i didn't need to make a detour in palm beach and fort lauderdale but i thought the tourists had to see them at least from a distance. i'd love to visit palm beach up close. it's probably the richest place in the US but it's all hidden behind fences. it looked nice though. fort lauderdale is just great. i love the drive up the las olas blvd from the ocean to the city centre. pretty amazing. however, no time to visit and no time to go out in the evening as i had to get up soon the next day

the tour was okay. i am happy about the tip amount i received. i did get pissed off at some people who just gave me 5 dollar for a week. fuck him. he was an old single guy from groningen. i thought he was ok though but when someone gives me money in an envelope you already know it's going to be less than what you deserve. come to think of it i had a nice group of people on the bus. a lot of young people as well. there were three really good looking girls on the bus. a turkish one who was single and with whom i hit it off really well. a dutch girl with curly hair who was just so incredibly sweet. and the french speaking belgian girl who had everyone gaze at her. her congolese boyfriend was cool too. we ended up talking a lot on the last night.

i already forgot about all the shitty stuff that happened. i just don't really like florida.
