So, we get a leisurely late breakfast in the room and start to get ready for round 2 of ultra, very slowly, and I have to say its not with the same excitement as the first day knowing what it's going to be like this time! So the whole process is pretty slow, and eventually we drag ourselves out of the sanctuary of the hotel into a cab downtown. Helen is suffering the after affects of too much red bull!!! We have a bite to eat, and bottle of red wine to relax into the evening. The food is ridiculously huge portions, stodgy and fattening.... Neither of us can finish it, I feel like I ate a brick so dancing it off is the only option.
We head in and have a walk around to find a good place to get started, we arrive just for the end of Above and Beyond and then walk round to find Mark Knight, it's a difficult task because they have changed the names of the arenas today and the signs are for the old ones!!! Nice move. Eventually we find it and at least it helped walk off the food, the music is great and not as crowded as the live stage and Snoop Dog!
We have to make a sharp exit to catch the end of Seth Troxler, he plays good tunes but looks a bit distraught... The mixing isn't great, he is using vinyl which is a surprise and sounds like the needle has gone! He also keeps disappearing. Next stop Ferry Corsten.... The highlight of the night to be honest, we walk in to "rock your body" and some all time classic trance hits... You can't not enjoy it!!! Then PVD comes on, have to say its not a great start, and with only and hour left of the festival we head to see Swedish House Mafias final performance... The main stage is completely impossible to get near so we stand we're we can, but because of the sound control it's not great if you aren't up close to the stage... I guess that's the trade off when it's such a small venue!
All done, we head home.... To be honest, I'm quite glad it's over. I enjoyed it, but will never go again and at this point not even sure I like Miami that much! But think I haven't seen enough to make a final decision....
