We set off a bit earlier today to try and find Griffith Park. We had heard it was nice there and lots to see and do so we set off with high hopes! It was dark and cloudy out but we ploughed on but it soon started to drizzle! We had packed beach stuff in our bags as we had intended to go down to Santa Monica from the park, but didn’t pack any waterproofs! The further we got, the wetter we got and the more it rained! We found a barbers and Mark finally had his ha...

We had a bit of a lazy morning and didn’t get up until quite late! Oops! The breakfast was rubbish in the hostel so we headed straight out instead. We’re just off Hollywood Blvd, so headed in that direction thinking it would be a good place to start, not realizing that it is the main section of Hollywood!! We’re so close to the main attractions! We noticed the stars on the ground as soon as we reached Hollywood but it took a while to click what they actual...

Struggled to get out of bed this morning as it was so comfy and quite fancied enquiring about how much it would be to buy the bed and have it shipped home..pillows included but Mark wasn’t as keen on the idea!! We eyed up a café yesterday where we could get breakfast this am but when we got there it hadn’t opened! We had to settle for a choc croissant and smoothie from the station café instead! Our train was slightly delayed but we managed to get seats on ...

Up early again, seem to be making a habit of it!! Hmmm! Left the hostel for our journey back to Emeryville! The journey passed quickly and we didn’t have any hold ups. We were 2 hours early getting back to Emeryville so we went to the hotel to find out what time check in was. As it happened, we were able to check in there and then which was handy as it saved us having to carry our bags far! The hotel was very posh! This was a one off as it was too much hassle t...

We got up early and grabbed some breakfast quick before making our way to Yosemite. I was chief driver today as Mark has had a funny eye..not like his normal infection..just aching and bloodshot..we think it’s from the sun! The roads in the parks, and the ones leading up to them, are good roads and much better surfaced than the highways, was good fun! We passed through a few tunnels, many which go through the rocks! Our first stop was at Bridalveil falls whic...
