inner sanctum at the casa
so - 2 days left ... and then ... it's over for this year ... yay? sniff? hmmm....
another fabulous day here though.
up early and out with festus (driver) and tanya (lurvely pr) and head to the nearby dock for the "south beach experience". we jump onto a boat/yacht thing and motor through the waterways to south beach. the mandarin has a little area on the beach for its guests - in front of the casa casurina ... a members club.
the casa was built in 1930 - basing the house's design on that of christopher columbus' son - deigo - there is even a brick that dates back to 1510. in 1992, designer gianni versace bought it and spent millions turning it into his miami pad. he was killed on the steps of the casa in 1997. it was bought by a chap & his wife in 2000 and has turned it into a 10 bedroom hotel/club.
you can't walk into this place though ... and its design is garish, bright ... & VERY versace ...totally amazing ...
back to the hotel for a rest before we headed out to crandon for the "hole in one" experience. the club/hotel pro alex took my golf game apart (very easy!) and assembled it again! the course looks amazing - it's on key biscayne ... there are crocodiles and mosquitos the size of houses on it! i joke not!
off to film some miami nightlife ....
