One night & day in Miami Beach

We arrived to Miami around 9 pm after a long flight from Helsinki. Our flight was a bit late because a big thunderstorm north of Miami. When we landed to Miami we saw a bit of the thunderstorm and it was really beautiful.

We decided that we are taking a taxi instead of a bus to Miami Beach to our hotel Wynwood South Beach Hotel because we were quite tired from the flight and it was late. We went for a short walk and to buy some water. We took also a walk on the beach boulevard at the same time and it looked to be somewhat busy in the bars and clubs. The short walk made us thirsty and we took a beer and a wine at our hotel and went to sleep ;) The Wynwood hotel was quite nice. Clean and nice rooms, but it’s Miami Beach, meaning the noise from the streets around 4-6 am is loud so if you want to sleep, remember your earplugs :P
We had our breakfast at Hotel Princess Ann, Wynwood’s partner hotel. It might be because we are from Scandinavia, we found the American breakfast a bit, well, different :D It was good, but personally we would not want to eat such a breakfast every morning as in the picture below.

We had to check out by 11 am but could leave our luggage to the hotel for few hours so we could walk around Miami Beach. Markus found new shorts for himself and Edda visited Victoria’s Secret. On a Friday day, the beach looked relatively empty when we walked there. When you have only 3-4 hours to explore a place, you cannot expect to see too much. We had coffee, lost Markus’ lens shield (that was found later in our bag), bought a new lens shield and a filter for Markus’ camera. Of course we had to have the national food of USA! PIZZA! ;)  We went to a pizza place that looked to be in favor of the locals, and it was delicious! Other than that we didn’t have time to do.

That’s all folks!
