We are coming to an end of our time in LA. The RV has been paid for (thanks to the biggest rise in a week for the AUD since Sept) and we should pick it up today or tomorrow. We can’t wait to get on the road. While shopping we have begun to stock up on some food supplies such as sushi ingredients that we have no idea how difficult will be to find once we head east. We have also acquired some new snowboarding gear ready to hit the powder.
While here we spent a day at Disneyland and a day at
California adventure world. We chose a very cold day for Disneyland with the
advantage being that it was quiet. The favourite rides for the day were Space
Mountain, Raiders of the Lost Arc and Pirates of the Caribbean. Symi met Minnie
Mouse. Yesterday we went to California Adventure world and it was quite busy.
Symi and Rob managed to ride the California Scream (big roller coaster with a
loop) five times, Fiona had a go late in the day without getting sick!
Some tips, get a fast pass for Cars or California Flying very early, single
rider cues can be much quicker and don’t ride the Grizzly Bear unless you want
to get wet (very in Rob’s case).

Other than running around trying to get RV things done we
have gone to Huntington Beach and Pier. There is a great retro diner on the end
of the Pier (Katie we thought of you). We went for a brief drive in Beverly Hills, saw the Hollywood
sign from a distance, spotted many, many expensive cars including a Bugatti
Veyron on Rodeo Drive. We then went to Santa Monica Beach and Pier to ride
another roller coaster! On Sunday we went for a buffet Mexican breakfast with
our AirBnB host Octavio and his good friends. It was a different experience,
the food was great but there were many unfamiliar things that we all asked a
lot of questions about. Staying at an AirBnB has been great, it’s a fantastic
way to experience a new place and Octavio has been very helpful getting us
orientated and answering our many questions about where things are.
