My camera has a habit of taking pictures when it wants, the pic I have chosen today is a memory of all the pics i have had too delete, due to this - although some of them were quite good :)
Since my last blog I have had two full days on the big island and one day here in Santa Monica. My last accommodation on the big island was disappointing, it was clean but small and the host had no aloha spirit - I cant complain everything else was amazing including here in Santa Monica. The way air bnb works is that you leave a review and the host leaves a review of you. I have to be honest on my feelings to help the next person.
The accomm here is great and i have well and truly exhausted their bike today such a bonus to have it and this time the braking did not stump me!
My last two days were different my last day was great! I was worried as i left the ickle room at 8am and was not flying to LA until 22:00 ! That is a lot of time to kill so i hit the road drove into the mountains and found a nice organic cafe for a scrummy breakfast. There were also some galleries and a ukulele factory! After this I drove to another mountain village found a another coffee
Shop and purchased some ibuprofen for my neck! After all this excitement the beach was calling I wanted to go in the sea just one more time having already worked out that my next shower would be 24 hrs! It took some careful packing and this time my bag was 3lb under! Fortunately on virgin i can check in two bags! I only slept about 2 hrs so arrived here like a walking zombie! Fortunately I got a couple of hours sleep this afternoon and then spent 3 hours just exploring on two wheels!
The other day on Hawaii the one before the last day was just frustrating poor signs unpaved roads needing a 4x4 and then the resort I stayed in was hideous completely geared towards the cruise ship day trippers! I was also pretty tired which all lead to a quiet day.
My first impressions in La are there are a lot of empty volley courts i guess as it is a little windy! There are a lot of homeless around venice beach - brighton council could learn a lot from
Them about sports facilities! But i like it :) oh and lots of dogs one was wearing a baseball cap! The downside of cycling taking photos is hard ! Xx
