We didn't have a plan for today, we just wanted it to be relaxing allowing us to soak up those last precious hours of holiday bliss. First thing we needed was a good Cuban breakfast, so we headed to Havana 1957 which had great breakfast cocktails, Cuban steak and eggs, pulled pork and outside seating for that all-important people watching experience.
After breakfast we headed to Lincoln Road, a major shopping area in South Beach. It felt like a High Street in the UK with lots of big branded and independent shops along a pedestrian road and plenty of restaurants and cafes although unlike the UK, the weather was perfect for enjoying your meal alfresco!
It didn't take long for us (Lee) to get bored of walking around the shops so we decided to head back to the hotel, via the art deco buildings on Ocean Drive for an afternoon of chilling on the beach.
Our hotel wasn't on the beach but just a short walk over the road was a path which took us to the beach and once there, we were provided with free towels and loungers using our key card at the beach hut. It was a nice little perk to the hotel.
Whilst on the beach, we debated about what we should have for dinner on our last evening in the US. We could have gone for Chicken Wings (a staple for Lee on this trip), a classic american burger, a posh meal in an expensive hotel, or a road trip classic, a giant pizza. In the end we decided that we wanted to try something different and found a Brazilian BBQ called Fogo De Chao. The amount of choice on the buffet was unbelievable, I would have just paid to have that but then the waiters just kept coming with stick after stick of meat. We ate until we couldn't eat anymore before then squeezing in a couple more bites followed by a couple more!
We were so full up that we managed one cocktail in a local bar around the corner to the restaurant before waddling back to the hotel to sleep off an excellent meal and a fantastic day!
