Last day in LA. The weather is hot, (90 degrees), there sky is blue and I'm off to the beach. Vinice beach in particular. Muscle beach was very quiet this morning, not much to report on there, other than it was quiet with few people, big guys with big chests and stick legs. Hollywood was disappointing. It full of tacky rubbish that no-one really wants or needs. The only colourful thing about Hollywood was my company. Hans. He left to return to San Fran...

Last few hours in San Fran. I have met up with my gay friend, Hans and I will be travelling with him to Hollywood. We will travel on the ever fateful greyhound bus.

The mountain ranges are truely spectactular. I have many pictures, so it will b...

I also cycled through Golden Gate park and stopped off at the Japenese Tea Gardens, which were impressive. I enjoyed walking back to my hostel, from Fisherman's Wharf via North Beach. The No...

At last, I have the picutes from Yellowstone downloaded! Hi there, Still in San Francisco. It truely is the gay capital of the world! My hostel is on the fringe of 'China-Town'. There are so many places to eat cheap food, I love it. There is a great cafe close by, that sells wonderful coffee and huge sandwiches. I also like the food markets within china town because I can buy fresh fruit at the fraction of the price that Safeway charges. As you c...
