Day 317, 17 May 2013, South Beach, Miami (Florida). Spent a couple of hours down on the beach watching the beautiful (and not so beautiful) people frolic in the waves. Have come to the conclusion that Miami Vice, CSI Miami, etc etc are a load of bunk. Have seen many policemen in South Beach. They all wear knee length shorts, ride bicycl…

Ian and Karen That's a shame - may be next time? You will have to have a chocolate martini in Chateaux Whistles instead! X

NotBeingGrownups Ian and Karen, We have calculated that since we are 7 hours behind you and it's a two hour trip to Vancouver and a 9 hour flight to London then an overnight zip on the train and a couple of hours on the bus, that we might be a little late for dinner at your fabulous restaurant and thus must regretfully decline your kind invitation. Never let it be said you don't invite us over however! Cheers!
