After a good flight we landed and cleared the airport in an hour. Things going so well until we rang the pre paid shuttle service. They told us we had booked the car for 6.30pm (flight wasn't due until 6.20!) and the driver had been waiting an hour for us and we now had to pay him $31 waiting fee! By the time we got to the hotel it was $41 as the original pre paid price did not include the tip. We did argue but ended up paying as we were too tired to take it further, but I will pursue this when I get back to the uk. We are staying at Circa 39 (recommended by some one on this site but I can't remember who?) the hotel is lovely, it seems to be very new, extremely clean, all the bedding and linen good quality and the staff very friendly. Had a couple of beers in the bar and called it a night at 10.30pm.

up at 7.30am and it's raining! The forecast is for it to clear up, so breakfast in the hotel and by the time we set off it was dry but very humid. On the advice of the concierge we took the bus from around the corner to south beach Art Deco district to go and have a wonder on ocean drive. Just noticed the time, we are having dinner at the Betsy tonight and have to dash, will continue later.....
