I booked onto the hostels free shuttle and we headed to Ocean Beach to walk the sunset cliffs. However, the weather wasn't on our side and was overcast with a forecast of rain. After spending an hour on the beach we divided to head to the Old town by bus. The old town felt like the real San Diego, we had a Mexican burrito and strawberry margarita in style. The clouds had parted and the sun was shining so we headed back to the beach. Within 5 minutes of lyi...

San Diego is known for 70 miles of beautiful beaches and mild temperatures. What better way to experience it and take advantage of the hostels free shuttle to and from La Jolla every Thursday. La Jolla is known as 'The Jewel' of San Diego and features an upscale hamlet of hotels, boutiques and galleries. We visited La Jolla cove, which is a tiny beach, sheltered by picturesque cliffs and offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. From here we headed along the ...

Today was the day we were looking forward too... Meeting the panda at the Zoo. The San Diego Zoo is a zoo in Balboa Park, housing over 3,700 animals of more than 650 species and subspecies. It costs $45 to enter but you can spend a good few hours walking around the zoo. Lots of the animals were off exhibit whilst we were there. It was great to see the panda but overall I personally wouldn't vote the San Diego Zoo the number one zoo in the world. Singapore and Aus...

Bobbi and I made it to San Diego, our last stop on the west coast of America. We had 6 nights in the Gaslamp Quarter in USA Hostels. We arrived at 4pm and checked into our room, luckily the two free beds were on the bottom bunks (I am counting down the nights left staying in a bunk bed!) The hostel was great and puts on lots of free activities for its guests. Today was Taco Tuesday which meant that those who wanted to join and head to a local Mexican restaura...

The sun was shining in Las Vegas and the perfect day to be a true tourist and get a photograph with the famous Las Vegas sign which was at south of the strip. I couldn't believe they had two horses there that tourists could sit on for a photo. Mary's friend had arrived the night before so we went to visit them at the Luxor, and Bobbi and I explored Escalabur, New York - New York hotels before meeting back up with Mary to buy last minute show tickets for tonight...
