Hi Guys Hope you are well. We have now left Las Vegas, it was eating a hole in our funds! We are now at the grotty Venice Beach hostel, Venice Beach, next to the contrasting beauty of Santa Monica. Not quite sure what we were expecting but the hostel is very dirty! The room smells of pee and yet it is more expensive than the MGM Grand in Vegas! Also, at night the homeless people congregate right across the road opposite the hostel. But we have a roof over ou...

Hi guys We have been camping for a week now since San Francisco. We stayed at Half Moon Bay, which was a really nice campsite right on the beach. We had Coronas and BBQ sausages on the beach whilst watching a beautiful sunset. People are very friendly on the camp sites. One couple who were staying in a massive motor home next to us gave us beer, I think they felt sorry for us in our little tent. We like it though. We did our 10k run in Santa Cruz, but it was...

I had a great time, Lindsey on the other hand has decided that bike riding is not her thing,...

MENDOCINO We are nearly three weeks into our trip now, seems so much longer. This is our first day of sun for at least a week. It has been raining a lot, so not much camping. After three nights in a motel we camped last night in the Redwoods with no rain which was a treat. We have been to see the Redwood trees, they are amazing and so massive, I can`t really describe how big they are, you will have to check out the photos! We have been burning redwood on the ...
