The nice private area we had..

grilled pork chop is very tender, tried thyme ice-cream - interesting flavour..

Cabbed down to Ocean Drive with P and A after we visited VP's hotel room. He is SO lucky to get a suite (2 bedroom + spacious living room). His hotel room is located outside, like a mini apartment.. Walked around at Ocean Drive since i've nv been there before. took pic with cobra (USD 20). I was only supposed to help colleague take pic, in the end i was pulled in to take pic so that the photographer can charge USD 10 extra..
