Headed out to South Beach and decided to spend the day looking at the shopping area on Lincoln Road. There was lots of shops and places to eat, really bustling area. We stopped off for a drink and some potstickers (dumplings) in the ‘Oriente on Cardoza’ owned by Gloria & Emilio Estefan. It was nice sitting on the sidewalk watching everyone passing us by.

Picked up a few bargains: a new compact camera, some clothes and some new sunglasses each as the exchange rate is really good ($2 to £1). Though food and drink is not much cheaper, you just get better value for your money. The food comes in large portions, thankfully we restrained ourselves from ordering lots of dishes.

Headed back to the hotel with our shopping and rested our weary feet, it is very humid and Li got a little sunburnt on her neck and shoulders.

We went out to dinner to an Italian restaurant recommended in our guide book, thankfully we only ordered a starter each and shared a salad as when the food was served, the plates were huge! It was lovely food and the place was very busy.

Headed back to the hotel and both very tired, decided to turn in for an early night.
