We arrived in Miami at about 8:30am where we had about 4 hours sleep in 24 hours. All we wanted to do is sleep. It took over an hour on two buses to get to our hostel. When we arrived we were told that there was no room ready until 3pm which meant no sleep for us. The good news was that the receptionist upgraded us to a private 2 double bedded dorm with a flat screen TV and en suite bathroom. So we locked up our bags in the hostel and just walked around Miami for a bit.

The weather wasn’t great. It was dull and cloudy. Most of the side streets were flooded right up to the entrances of shops. There was a supermarket we was interested in going to which had a small bridge to get over the flood. Unfortunately, it was crap and still got our feet wet.

We really not much motivation to do much, but as we had s much time on our hands before check in, we decided to do the half hour walking tour to see some art deco examples around Miami. It certainly had lots of it.

The half hour tour turned out to be a 10 minute tour that we cut short. We headed back to the hostel we slept on the common room sofas and played free pool for the rest of the day. By the time we could check into our room, we just grab the keys and hit the bed for a few hours. We were so shattered. We got up about 8pm and headed towards Espanola Way and treated ourselves to a decent meal.

The next day, we just headed to the beach for a few hours to catch the sun before it hid away again. We had a dip in the Atlantic ocean which we shared with jellyfish.

We didn’t want to do too much this day as we were heading to Ecuador the following day. After the beach, we grab a few beers and some fod to cook at the hostel and just enjoyed a few games of pool, table tennis and watched a few films showing on the big screen TV.

Not a huge amount happened in Miami. Just the beach, some pool and mainly sleep.
