19 Jan 2020 – last beach day

Last day on the beach for a while – grabbed a couple of hours out on the beach front before heading to the airport. 80 here today – heading home to low 40s.

Next blog entries maybe not until the May trip to Prague…

18 Jan 2020 – Miami Beach pt2

Fillmore for our second go with New Order – different vantage point inside the theatre, and different setlist from the band – again a great show, wrapping their stay in Miami but not ours just yet!

In advice of a local we chatted with in a bar in Hollywood, we walked a few blocks to Mac’s Club Deuce – billed as the oldest bar in Miami (1926 doesn’t really seem that old, does it my Oxford UK friends?).

For a place with ‘Club’ in its name it is much more like a dive bar – and a very lively one at that. Place was packed, and had a nice rotation going in the juke box, while we played pool and drank until 4am or a little past. Fortunately, also as advised by that beach bar local, directly across the street is La Sandwicherie, a corner hole in the wall sandwich shop open to 5 – also crowded in the street, and extremely good at what they do – Italian sub I had was excellent- and that’s not just through 5am beer goggles…

Uber back to Hollywood, crash and sleep in until we have to check out.
