Benvenido a Miami

Sup Y'all. I have arrived safe and sound in Miami, got into Miami international airpost at 1am and after an hour at passport control arrived at our hotel on south beach at 2:30am. Maddy was waiting for me at the hotel as she had landed 3hours earlier. The next morning we had a slight lie in, and missed breakfast :(. It was a pretty relaxing day, we went for a wander along ocean drive, had brunch, got caught in a thunderstorm (very common at this time of year) and shopped for some food for dinner. That eve we had a very healthy dinner of salad with a cuban loaf (that should keep mum happy), then went for an evening walk down the main shopping and eating strip and had the one thing americans do best, a nice thick milkshake.
Yesterday morning we woke at 7am, had our complimentary breakfast (muffins, danish pastys and croissants served with cream cheese). We then headed out to downtown Miami to see some parks and explore little havana. The day was put on hold slightly while we sought refuge from a thunderstorm, but we fit it all in. Little havana was very spanish, we only heard one english speaker whilst we were there. Back at the hotel we had another heathly meal of salad and wraps, went out for an ice cream, and back to the hotel for an early night.
Today its been a scorcher, so we monged on the beach, as Maddy frantically tried to reduce the colour difference between us. Swam in the sea a bit, and we are now about to go to out to a swanky ocean drive bar for a happy hour cocktail. The fruitier the better! Hope you are all well.
