Touring Miami Baby!

We had a rest day in Miami and then tomorrow we have to return the bike by 5pm.

We had a busy day planned in Miami so got up nice and early and wandered South Beach.

We then went back to the hotel to get picked up for our tour of the Everglades.

Onto one of those cool boats with a bloody great fan on the back and we were off.

The boat took us through a river surrounded by long grass and at some points we were going straight through the grass.

We passed a few more alligators and then got off and walked down the jetty to a small arena where they were having an alligator show.

A man that worked for the park was getting the alligators to do tricks and then told us all about them.

We then went for a walk around there zoo which had heaps of alligators that weren’t in enclosures, they were about 5 metres away looking like they wanted to crash tackle us – so I put Harry in front of one for a photo.

The rest of the tour was on the bus with “Manny Miami” and we travelled through the city, the suburbs, Little Havana and then back to our hotel.

Had dinner at a shit restaurant called ‘Kitchen Restaurant’ on the foreshore at SOuth Beach – avoid this awful joint if you’re ever in Miami (read my Trip Advisor review here).
We went and found another place for a bit more to eat and some drinks and
