Its 8.30pm and we're sitting by the fire round the pool. It's nothing short of spectacular. We are having the very best time. To the point I almost cried earlier. We've had a really long day of driving. We left early to beat the LA rush hour traffic. Although we beat most of it, there was still quite a bit. It took about 3 hours to get to Emma Jeans Diner, what with the coffee stops for me and smoking breaks for him. We've see the diner on the tele (diners, dri...

Now I'm right up sh1t street. I didn't write yesterday so now there's twice as much excitement just waiting to make its way to these pages. God only knows where to start. Going back to breakfast at the Best Western yesterday where we made waffles, much to our own amusement. We had cereal, waffles and toast before loading up the car. While staggering along with the stuff I accidentally trod on Nicks foot and laughed hysterically. I had tears rolling down my f...

Bugg@r me! Nick was up at the crack of dawn again! He was awake at 5 but managed not to wake me up til 5.40. He decided he'd treat me by rushing off down the road to get a Starbucks. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I love coffee but I could barely get my eyes open. It was still pitch black. It was a lovely gesture but if he really wants to treat me, he could just let me sleep in. Never, on holiday, have I looked or felt worse. The photos are a right treat! ...

Good news! Nick slept in this morning. It was 6.30 before we got up. I made coffee put on my hoodie and went straight outside. What a way to wake up on a monday. Looking out to sea, completely deserted beach nothing filling my ears but the wind and the sound of the waves. Sp perfect. We saw dolphins again too. It was chilly, blowing a gale and everythig I could have wanted. We headed straight to Fishermans Whaft for whale watching. We had a quick bit of breakfas...

Right, this isn't funny anymore! Nick was awake again this morning at the crack of dawn. Needless to say, I was too. I was in the shower before 6am. Partly because I wanted to get ready for our day and partly because I wanted to get away from him. Its just gone 8 now and we're in Starbucks over the road from our hotel. We've had a coffee and shared a cinnamon and raisin bagel with cream cheese and some oatmeal with banana, nuts and chocolate. We're off to Monter...
