To finish off the absolutely fantastic weekend that we had in LA with Gemma, we took a drive along the coast road. We passed through Marina del Rey, where Gemma lives, then drove past Venice beach and Santa Monica, and could see Malibu in the distance. We met a friend of Gemma's for lunch and she took us to see a house that her husband is building. It is out of this world! Real celebrity-ville! Great weekend, Australia has a lot to live up to! Roll on...

All i could see was that there were no prices and that mea...

I'd never met Gemma before or even seen photos b ut Cate met her at Easter and still managed to miss her. But we all found each other in the end so that was good! We ve

Had the biggest Breakfast today in a quality American Diner. Afterwards we took a stroll down Ocean Drive and had a drink in a really nice café. We checked out the beech, I've never seen a beach as big, you couldn't see the end in either direction. We've had our fair share of beautiful beaches so far on this trip. We walked as far as we could managed and then took a stroll back along Collins Av where we found the shops. Cate managed to buy some shoes (sh...
