Sunday 28 June Even though we've booked the 10 am bus to Las Vegas we still have to get up early and leave just after 7 in order to get there in time. We drive by streets lined with homeless shacks and tents. It's pretty sad - a village on the sidewalk. It's in a older slightly run down and industrial section on the central area. Apart from the homeless which we past there is hardly a soul on the streets. We get to the bus station and print out our tickets. We...

Saturday 27 June After a fitful night we get up early. We need to catch 3 busses which is about 2 hours all up! We just miss one so we have to get another. I'm afraid we won't get there with enough time. But we do! And there isn't hardly anyone there so it's a relief. The pastor is friendly and greets us. Turns out there are two services. First is 'traditional' at 9:30 and 11:30 is 'contemporary'. It's pretty quiet at 9:30 and we sing hymns A-Capella. An English...

Friday 26 June We awake early after a good sleep. Our bodies are still 2 hours behind in Mexico. So we have plenty if time to eat and get ready before leaving to catch the bus to the tour hop on hop off bus start point. We just just miss the bus by a margin. We have to wait another 30-40min for the next bus. We buy our tickets while we wait. A toilet stop is in order and see a squirrel on the grass making a dash up a tree. The bus is opened topped and we headp...

Thursday 25th June Morning feels weary, but we can freshen up in the bathrooms. The airport has some free wifi which is great and mal managed to use google maps to plan a path to the motel. With a walk and two bus transfers we get to the motel. We go and pay and store our bags then head off walking to the beach. It's at least 32 blocks! It's a nice walk though and is refreshing. The beach is very deep. We walk up to the shops and find some food. After breakfast...

Wednesday 24th June A long day ahead. We get up pack bags and have breakfast. Try and figure out some things like transport for LA. It's a bit daunting trying to find your way about. But we'll get there I'm sure. We survived South America! We head to the bus station and get tickets for the 11am bus to the airport. While we wait I buy some more pastries. They are so cheap and filling. We get off when the bus first stop only to figure later it was the wrong termi...
