After another thirteen hour journey and it was pretty terrible due to late buses, very unorganised coach and missing my shuttle to the hotel. It was by far the worst journey yet but I got there in the end. We all met up in the morning our tour guide was called Dameon, he reminded us all of Seth Rogan. We all had to introduce ourselves etc which is always a bit cringy. Our first stop was San Diego where we would meet up with another Trek America that were doing a...

Once I figured out how to work everything on the car I was on my way. I found the driving quite easy to pick up because I had spent so much time being a pedestrian I had been watching what cars were doing at different signals etc. I hired a satnav as well, I was not that confident but knew the rough way I needed to go. Within half an hour of being on the high way I got pulled over by the police, god I did s*** it. The police man got out the car with his hat on an...
