We succesfully navigated down Highway 1 in California from San Francisco to LA (wothout getting lost, even though Jude was navigating).
A particular highlight was Santa Barbara, which is a lovely trendy Californian town with a distinctly Spanish feel to it. This was almost tarnished by "the Terminator" attempting to extort money from us by way of a ridiculous parking violation! Fortunately we were able to turn on the charm, aka tourist ignorance, at the police station and get the sentence overturned.
After a short stop in LA, which was as expected (larger than life and very tacky) we left California behind.
So here we are, in Hawaii. We're currently on the island of Oahu, staying in Honolulu near Waikiki beach. The beaches are amazing, very white sand and clear waters, and it is very hot. We hired a car today to explore the rest of the island which is green and lush and stunning - you can see why they filed Jurassic Park and Lost here. We're looking forward to going to Maui tomorrow as it will have a more deserted island feel, being less built up than Oahu.
Although we've only been away for 12 days it feels like longer, and we are both relaxing into the travelling mentality, we've lost track of the days already. But we are missing friends and family back home and hope you are all ok.
More news soon. Jude and Craig x
