My Medical Adventure
After a bit of a nightmare journey from Miami we finally arrived in LA a day late. (We had an unplanned overnight stay in Atlanta, after missing our connecting flight).
We now only had four days in LA so were on a misson to pack as much into our stay as possible. We hired our own little car, a Calibre 2L and set off on our adventure. After navigating our way to our hotel in Ahaheim, situated very near to disney land we decided to drive to the beach and chill out there for the evening. We ended up at Newport Beach in the OC. It reminded me of a typical English sea side resort with its arcades, fairground rides and cafes. The chilly wind also served to remind me of home!! We ate Sushi, drank some wine and ended up in a local pub playing pool with some rather odd guys. i managed to get myself chatted up by a 50 yr old drunk guy who would not leave us alone!!! Rynn and I also got our palms read, which was quite fun, apparently I am going to have twins.
Saturday we spent the day a 'Wild Rivers' water park. I managed to lose my top on the bomb blaster!! where you literally get blasted down a dark shoot vertically into a pool below. It was a really fun day, although I was gettign a bit chilly by the end of it. We spent the evening at a rather exclusive shopping mall, window shopping and people watching. Then Home early to prepare ourselves for disney land the following day.
I have never been to an American theme park before so I was very excited. We brought park hopper pass's to Disney Land and California Adventure and spent from 9am - 11pm there.
We mananged to do all the main rides, see the disney parade and electrical parade and finished the evening off with dinner and fireworks. It was very magical!!! My favourite ride was the Terror Tower, where you are in a lift inside a tall tower when suddenly the lift breaks and you plumit down. Scarey but fun. I think I lost my stomach somewhere!!!!
Sunday, our last day in LA we spent driving round Sunset Boulavard, Rodeo Drive, Visiting the Koodak thetre, where the oscars are held and doing the walk of fame. We ended up on Venice beach before heading off to catch out midnight flight to Tonga Tapu. Venice beach was quite scarey and full of some very interesing characters including a man walking on broken glass and a muscle man jogging in lepard print pants!!! NICE
