We had booked the Marriott South Beach for one single
night. Oh how we regret not staying longer, but for being a stop before
our final journey, I now know I have to revisit this fantastic place.
When we arrived at the hotel I had forgotten how customary it is to tip every
single person, they do provide a good service in comparison to some places in
Europe! The room faced actual South Beach and provided everything needed
for a short stay. Literally two seconds from the beach, we strolled
through South Beach until we got to the best entertainment strip I have ever
seen, fantastic restaurants, chill out music and the best cocktails to battle
the heat.
After many cocktails and some fancy food, we continued our
walk through Ocean Drive and continued into the night. An early night and
an early wake up followed. We hit the gym of which is amazing, everything
needed and no one to disturb you, just the way I like Hotel Gyms. Before
hitting the beach and the famous outdoor shopping centre we enjoyed a
continental breakfast and some of the best omelettes I have tried. Ask
for Maria, she preps them to the way you enjoy yours!
The Outdoor Shopping Centre, Bayside, is home to many brands of
which I certainly enjoy, what a wonderful shopping Mall as my fellow Americans
say…. Lunch was our favourite, Bubba Gump, need I say more, to many people in
the USA it seems that it’s not very popular, and they may indeed be right, however
I was looking forward to shrimp, shrimp and more shrimp. We stuffed
ourselves and enjoyed every second of it, it really took me back to the actual
movie and how Bubba recited all the possible Shrimp combinations. I was a
very happy man after that.
Soon after this I was gutted when I heard that the Miami
Heat Basketball team were playing the playoff finals on that same day. Oh
what I would have done to see that match which resulted in the Heat wining the
season! Well I guess we had to board our plane to Cancun.
If I had to sum up Miami in 2 words I would put it down to
Truly Amazing, from start to finish the complexity of attractions and
restaurants will certainly be visited by us again in the near future, could
this be a possible visit in 2014!?!? Soon we shall be posting of our pending
travels, 2014 is going to be a continuous flow of travel blogging!
Happy Travels Friends
The Travelling Postcard
We could not have survived our trip without having this to guide us through. It is a fantastic collection of trip itineraries, attractions to see, restaurants to visit and places to sleep! Well worth the money and not as heavy as I thought it would be carrying it. Enjoy your South East Adventure!
FL is the best! I live on the other coast and have only traveled to Miami once, but it was a great time!
ReplyDeleteHey Krystal, Yep we were there for 24 hours and it was the quickest 24 hours of our lives! There was so much to do and see, so Miami is on our list of places to visit again.
ReplyDeleteWe would also love to roam around the other coast too and think of organising a route 66 trip to be able to see it all in one cool road trip!
