Beach day today! It's going to be hot so trying to get some sort of tan before we head home. Santa Monica is very pretty, as it is a saturday we where expecting the beach to be packed when we got there, but it was nearly empty. Which was nice as it made parking a lot easier. It was nice to do beachy things as we haven't been to a beach since Florida, mainly because it hasn't been hot enough for a beach for a while. We walked along the promenade for a while, there...

After much research we finally narrowed down a long list of thing we would have liked to do while we were in Hollywood. We were up early this morning so that we were able to cram them all in in one day. Managed to find a really good deal on a one day pass for a number of attractions in hollywood so we were very pleased to save some money. Tourist places really know how to rip you off.

Don't think I will ever be able to enjoy Thorpe park again- just s...

We did stop a few times, we reached the entrance point to find out that as it was national earth day, we got free entry into yosemite. We are staying in an unheated tent like cabin, so we where glad it was a nice day. (it was too expensive to have a heated one) We stopped off to walk up to a big waterfall, which we got s...

Well we picked up the car, what can I say driving in this country is interesting. Took me a while in the car park to work out how to use an automatic, and there where a few times that I was driving across two lanes. Its hard when it's all completely opposite. I'm sure I'll get better at it though. We did have a few issues with the car pick up, we asked for sat nav thinking portable sat nav they give you, but no we had to have a car with inter-grated say nav. The ...
