Viva England! So...... I'm back in jovial England.
It's been quite a long day... around 20 hours of transportation, but all so so worth it. California my friends... the land of dreams. Getting sunburnt in October is a strange experience. Unfortunately I decided to shave my legs after they were sunburnt thus creating SEVERE pain for myself for the first couple of days of the 'vacation'. Alex's after-sun only seemed to make matters worse.
Bekka and I arrived at Los Angeles International (LAX) airport last Thursday and were met by an excitable guy who told us the best way to get to our hotel was to take the 'super shuttle' ... boy was he wrong! An estimated 20 minute journey took 3 hours 'coz the cretin driving the tank drove everyone else to their destinations the other side of California (or so it felt) first and ended up circling LAX 3 times. After this outrageous experience, Bekka and I decided to treat ourselves to a 'Sizzler's' meal. Here's something about California, EVERYWHERE YOU GO there are Mexicans! In fact, everything is written in Spanish and English as there are so many Spanish speaking people. The really really great thing about America though, is that you get free re-fills on soft drinks... so despite the over 21 alcohol age limit, we just got addicted to caffeine instead.
On Friday we went to Long Beach.... swam in the pacific.... I'll update when I can be bothered.
