Last night we took a cab from the hotel to a recommended area called Lincoln Road which is a pedestrianised area with shops and food. It was too far to walk (2.5 miles) after so long on the bike.

So our cab driver says yup and sets off. No talking to this guy, he just sat and hummed to himself. We got stuck in lots of traffic and again kept seeing how the other half live – there’s money in this city judging by the women’s dresses and the multitude of Lambourginis.

So after about 20mins of humming and driving/sitting in traffic he pulled up and muttered, Ocean Drive. Nope says I, we asked for Lincoln Road! Nope he says you asked for Ocean Drive. Off with the humming again as we are trying to ask him to take us back to where we wanted to be. Then of course I asked about the fare on the meter that was still running. More humming and a muttered, pay me what you want, only 1 dollar difference. Grumpy guy. We paid him what we felt the trip was worth and no more and left him to his humming.

So, back to Lincoln Road through more traffic and to a nice area filled with outdoor restaurants and lots of people.

This is Miami beach, which is a big area, but to be fair is just another large overpriced city. Our restaurant was good but as with all cities, overpriced- £60 for two for pasta basically.

Nice to visit, not interested in the Art Deco district as we saw plenty from the cab- now get me out of here and back to the small places…
