Miami

Waking up on our last day in the States was depressing, even more so that there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room 😞 Dad tried at reception to see if we could late check out but all they could do was extend it to 12pm which was no good for us. We checked out at 10am, shared my Dennys pancake and wheeled our suitcases 10 mins away to a storage place for $18. Next most important thing - a brew. It was hard work finding a place just for a brew and not food and still unsure we went for a place that had coffee on the menu outside. The coffee was served very modernly in a clear glass with a whisks for a spoon, after a free top up we made our way to Miami Beach.

It was a glorious but hot day, the sea was clear and the sand clean. Unfortunately it was a bit sloped so we couldn't comfortable walk on the sand with the sea to cool us down. After taking a few pics we headed back to the walkway. It was then getting close to 1pm and we were both in need of a drink. Dad even more so and by the time we got to the Public supermarket he was starting to feel a bit squiffy. We got a couple of drinks each and a fruit salad to share before making our way outside to a bench to restore ourselves. After a powerade and his fruit salad dad started to come round, we then decided to go back in and get a sandwich and crisps before our walk back. My sandwich was the best one I've had in the US. The bread was light and fluffy and was packed with soft beef and a spicy horseradish sauce. We ate the crisps but kept the chocolates.

We had three hours left until the Lyft pick up so it was time for last minute present shopping. Popping into a supermarket to see if there was a toilet I spotted the ice creams and decided to treat us. It was just what was needed the twix one had little balls of biscuit in and I hope one day they bring them to the UK.

All too soon our time had come to the end. With one last diet coke in the sun we sorted out our suitcases before our Lyft driver arrived to take us to the airport. The airport was quick and we were soon through security after a quick chat with the Welsh couple who were also on our flight we went in hunt for some food. The pizza place looked good and I ordered hawaiian and dad had pepperoni and cheese one. While they werent the best pizza ever they were certainly nothing to complain about it. After a quick nosey around the duty free it was time to board.

For the first couple of hours I watched Cyrano while enjoying the complimentary service. We had pretzels, I had diet coke and dad had vodka & diet coke (they were out of brandy). For the main I chose the vegetarian shephards pie and dad had chicken and rice. It started off nice but halfway through it had got too overflavoured and rich for me. Dad felt the same about his and didn't want to finish mine. He ate my bread though that was also hard. The best thing about it was the brookie, which was a new thing for me. Dad got a brew but I opted out deciding to try and get a few hours sleep instead.Leer más
