We had a slower start today and decided to try the cafe - mini market next door for breakfast. The hotel has a buffet breakfast that is good, but we only wanted coffee and toast. At the cafe we got coffee, toast and fresh orange juice to take out, and walked across the road to the beach. Circa 39 has it's own area of beach so we grabbed 2 loungers and had a wonderful lazy breakfast in the sun. We have a car to collect today so grabbed a bus up to the airport. If anyone is coming to Miami the bus service is very good, it cost us $2.65 and took about 35 minuets from Collins Avenue to the airport. We only had a short walk to the car hire and so far so good. We went straight down to the garage (that's what we did in Orlando when we last used Alamo fast track) but got told we had to go back up to the 4th floor and use the kiosk. Ok no problem with this, but the kiosk would not let us register, twice we went through the whole process, having to re input drivers license details and home address and contact number, and when we got to the end it stated it could not accept our contact number. After the 1st attempt we asked for assistance and she told us to go over the process again but leave the 1st zero off the mobile number but it rejected us again. So she told us to join the queue and go to the desk. 45 mins later we managed to register at the desk, Mr M was fit to burst at this point as when we last used this system in Orlando it was so simple, but this time it took forever. Anyway off to the garage and waiting for is was a lovely sparkly black Ford Explorer. Mr M does love his cars and this really cheered him up, it has lots of toys to keep him busy, I'll post photos when I get to Pam's villa with a computer. We drove back to Miami Beach and had to cruse down Ocean Drive. We came back to the Hotel for a pool side lunch, then off to the beach for a wander around. The beach is very busy,the sand and sea are beautiful but I prefer the quite of the gulf coast beaches. Back to hotel to update my trip report then off to Ocean drive for dinner at the Betsy.
