The next stage of my trip took place in the USA.

Now as many of you know, the USA is far from my top holiday destination, but as this was a round the world trip I decided that I would go there, see everything I wanted and now have no need to return!


Coming in to land over Los Angeles, where a Fijian asked me if this is what Britain looked like (to which I replied "no, its much greener and denser at home") I had arrived the other side of the dateline in yesterday - my second 12th October.

Whilst everything had gone to plan on my trip so far, this is where the first problem arose...after doing some casual tourism around Downtown LA in the afternoon I arrived at my hotel in the evening only to discover that the room I had booked for the night had mysteriously been cancelled months ago, without being told and the hotel was now fully booked! - and with a Pink Concert nearby, so were nearly all the others...however after lot of phone calls, the very helpful man on reception had been able to find me a new hotel room.


After a stressful first evening, the following morning I eventually made my way to Union Station, taking a look at the nearby Pueblo, which felt very Mexican, before jumping on my coach to Las Vegas.
