Learning To Breaststroke… The Swim Thing!!
Today we think that we possibly overdid it in the sun yesterday, and our skin may have needed a rest, so we head into the town to see what shops are there. We are quite excited (well I was) with the massive selection of beads available, and we soon picked a replacement for my copper […]
A Relaxing Day With Sun, Sand, Sea and…
We wake up to blue skies and sweaty armpits…. perfect!! Today we are off to the beach for our hit of sand and salt water and boy we couldn’t wait. We slapped so much sun cream on and donned a fashionable pair of my finest swim shorts, and Jane was still moaning about how she […]
We Are Off To Hawaii!!!
So today we finally leave the USA mainland yay!! We were very anxious as to what to expect from Hawaii as we were so excited. We land in Honolulu, and we had to find public transport (bloody hate buses) we find the local bus, and it was rammed to the gunnels with locals, and the […]
Earthquake Strikes Los Angeles
Today we spent the day doing odd bits and bobs. I chatted with friends and family on skype which was nice and caught up on all the gossip at home. Then we took our humongous pile of laundry to the laundromat to clean. It was the cheapest place so far that we had come across […]
A Windy Day At Venice Beach
Not much went on today. We headed to Venice beach today. The weather wasn’t as nice, a bit cloudy and very windy, so I found it quite cold. The sea was a definite no go, and we ended up just chilling on the beach for a few hours before heading back. Not a very exciting […]
A Day Apart From Each Other
We designated this day as our day apart from each other. Dan couldn’t be more excited and had been looking forward to having the day away from me. I was quite relieved myself and was looking forward to getting out and about on my own. So Dan, of course, was being a bore and decided […]
A Lazy Day at Santa Monica Beach
Didn’t do much today, headed to Santa Monica beach to chillax and sunbathe. We attempted the water, but it was far too cold for our liking. Dan thought he didn’t need sun cream everywhere, or in some cases, he misses big patches, and he ended up with burnt legs (especially the knees) and a burnt […]
The Hollywood Sign Is Over Rated!!!
Today we woke at our leisure to our first full day in Los Angeles. We decided to risk the public transport and find our way to Hollywood. Everything in LA is sooo spread out that Hollywood was over 20 miles from where we’re staying. After walking for what felt like ages, we finally found the […]
