In the morning I got the bus to downtown Miami.\u00a0 Well, when I say I got the bus I did so despite some particularly grumpy bus drivers one of whom screamed at me when I didn’t give my transfer ticket to him.\u00a0 Mid-journey, not really knowing where I was going, I got off and decided to get a Burger King.\u00a0 This was a wise move in one way as the guy serving me did the whole, “Ewww I just Looove the English accent”, thing and told me which bus to get, but it was a poor move when I asked for a large meal.\u00a0 The actual food part wasn’t too bad but the drink was served in what would best be described as a bucket!\u00a0 I could only just hold it in one hand.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the food trauma, and another bus journey, I arrived in downtown Miami\u00a0and was impressed by how funky the place was.\u00a0 There was a great shopping area around a quayside and I got a C.D. burnt with my photos on.\u00a0 I pottered around some shops and, having bought the coolest zebra print fur bag, wandered around the shopping area.\u00a0 Having been around a few more shops, a flustered guy burst in with my credit card which I had evidently left on his counter having paid for my zebra.\u00a0 I was really impressed that he had taken the time to go round looking for me and slightly less impressed at my general incompetence!\u00a0 After exploring I sat at one of the quayside bars and had a rather lovely mojito looking out over the water and the boats on display.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back at the hotel I headed to Subway for dinner and then decided to check out the Spanish bar opposite the hotel.\u00a0 My one drink turned into a few more courtesy of a guy called Edwin and his friend who was particularly adept at karaoke.\u00a0 I also met a very keen, short, fat guy called Danny de Paz.\u00a0 That was a lovely description, but I doubt he’ll be checking my blog out any time soon so I hope I’m safe on that one.\u00a0 Edwin noticed my tattoo so I did one on his arm and one on his friend’s with a ballpoint pen.\u00a0 See I’m a classy chick.\u00a0 I received one on my leg in return which read, “Happy Hannukah” with a menorah, which I must say I’m not dying to rush to get done properly at a tattoo joint!\u00a0 After Edwin and friend left I headed out to a Spanish dancing bar with a couple of other people and danced away for several hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
