Eugh! A very early day today. We woke up at 4.15am and poor Jeff gave us a lift to the train station for 4.45. We got on the train and made our way to LAX the airport. It took a while, but we finally got to our station and got on the shuttle bus to the airport. Everything went fine, checked in our bags and went through strict security (body scans and everything!). The flight was pretty uneventful, they showed us a movie and some shows. We prefer it when everyon...

It's been a really great day! We woke up around 9am and waited for Jeff to wake up since he was going to show us around the area today. He took us to a diner where we had a really american breakfast. With food in our stomachs he drove to Huntington beach where walked on the pier and at the end was a placed call Ruby's Diner, and it really was like the diner from the 50's you see in movies. So we had to order a milkshake, and it was sooo good! Jeff had called his...

Today was our last day with Mike and our Trek America group :( We drove to Santa Barbara first where we had great pizza for lunch at Rusty's Pizza Parlour. Had to fill out some evaluation forms, then off to Hollywood! Mike dropped us off and we walked through the Kodak theatre and up some stairs to see the Hollywood sign. On the way back we had a look at a few stars and then said goodbye to the three Swedish girls. Back at the hacienda hotel we said goodbye to...

We left San Francisco early and made our way to our next stop. It wasn't that far away, but because of all the road works it took a bit longer. We stopped in monterey for lunch, Carro and Emelie ate in the bus because the seagulls were hovering around. We made another stop near a castle (the owner has a herd of zebras, that's right zebras!!). We had a look at the elephant seals on the beach, they were huge! Like 2.5m long and weigh a few tonne. Then we drove t...

Rise and shine! Another early morning, especially for Emelie who told Carro she would skype with her sister 6am. But what she really would do was to get a rose, some chocolate and a card she had hidden in Kristas room and put it on the bed from Carros boyfriend. It was a success! After that we all went for breakfast and took a cable car to the piers, to pier 33, where the ferries to Alcatraz goes. We had a quick walk around the island before we walked up to t...
