So, we woke up on our first morning abroad... well, Nikki woke me - AT 5am! and it was freezing - bloody air-con! I couldn't wait to get outside, where it was 67° already!
We decided that we'd travel to Downtown Miami today - to go hunting for Hulk Hogan. We caught the bus for $1.50, which was good because the journey was about 40 minutes long.
We arrived at South Beach, Downtown Miami at about 9.30am and it was really quiet. Hardly anything was open. We found this really nice coffee shop called David's Café, which had pictures on the wall of tons of famous people who had been there. We offered our picture for them to put on the wall, but they turned us down.
We spent the next couple of hours walking about, exploring. We stopped for lunch at an American Diner called Johnny Rockets and both had a Route 66 burger (cheese, mushrooms and onions).
After lunch, the temperature had reached about 85°, so we decided to take a walk along Miami Beach. On our way there, we were talking about where we thought the Miami Ink tattoo shop was, and then spotted it on the other side of the road. We crossed to see if we could go in, but they stopped us because they were filming, so we stood and watched for a few minutes, when all of a sudden Darren Brass came and sat outside. I went and had a chat with him and asked for a photo - he was cool, and told us that the shop is only open to the public from 8pm, when filming has stopped!
We continued exploring Downtown, and think we came across the hotels used in Scarface - but still no Hulk Hogan, so we went home... and had take away pizza for tea.
Mmmmm pizza!
