Day 176 - Fin Returns Home & Miami South Beach with Marina, FL

We woke up this morning with a heavy heart, it was time for Fin to return home. It was a stressful journey to Miami Airport with the rush hour traffic making a sad experience even worse.

The process for handing back Fin was really simple and far too quick! We wanted to tell someone about his story, all the states we had taken him to, the miles we had done and the adventures we had.  Instead we drove into an assembly line where we were ushered out of the car, signed a piece of paper and then he was whisked away to be cleaned and hired to the next customer.

It was sad and there was a tear or two as we walked away.

We had some time to kill so we headed into Miami Airport in search of somewhere to grab some breakfast. It had been a sad morning but our day was about to get better as Marina (who we met up with at the start of this trip back in May) was coming to visit for the day!

We met up with Marina and then headed back to South Beach. We spent the morning walking along the beach talking about the trip and drinking a very large margarita and then the afternoon checking out craft beers in some of the best South Beach dive bars outside of the main tourist area.

After a very competitive darts competition, we found a small sushi bar for dinner before eventually having to say good bye to Marina so she could make the journey home to the other side of Florida.

We walked back to the hotel via the lit up Art Deco buildings, discussing how what could have turned into a sad and sombre day was actually a huge amount of fun with Marina. We're so glad she came to visit us and be a part of our adventure for the day.
