San Diego
After playing "cavemen" on the joshua tree boulders in the morning, we set off to Saint Diego.
On the long drive ahead we encountered some cultural differences between driving in the UK and US. One being bibbed and yelled at for leaving 5 metres of road between ours and the next car on the freeway. Another being how American cars indicator lights are exactly the same as they're brake lights!
We had a feeling the US roads were beginning to confuse Dan from the moment a group of 12 year old girls in a car drove by blowing kisses, he proceeded to catch one and slap it across his cheek. "it wasn't the 12 year old girls, it was for the older ones in front"...Ok Dan.
We arrived in San Diego at our 4 bedroom USA hostel. This meant that we were gaining an extra roomie for the night. Enter Thomas from Germany. As he was already settled in on a top bunk and with Biggie using his much used but still valuable "stay fresh because I'm driving" card - it was down to me and rich to see who would "bunk" with Thomas...
Knowing rich had a higher ratio of paper,rock,scissors wins than the average human, I opted we flip a coin...who won? Lets just say I slept like a King and Thomas slept over a earthquaking, loud, dribbling snorer.
Before bed we went and got some food on a beautiful pier restaurant and then went out to the gas lamp district to see central San Diego. At one point I thought there was a river running straight through the city centre but it just turned out to be rich and dan drooling at every woman that walked past. I think I heard rich state " there are so many fit woman here I could cry".
However it seems the men were all about Dan! Walking back to our hotel, Dan was practically grabbed by a gentleman of the night to comment on his "beautiful blue shirt". The hostel receptionist also hinted to Dan about a trendy wine bar in town, casually slipping in "my shift finishes at 12.00...".
Time for bed, Rich holding his breath that Thomas is fast asleep. Hopes all but smashed as we enter to a startled Thomas claiming "it's ok guys...I wasn't asleep". Goodnight rich.. .
