Hi,
We stayed in Santa Barbara for 2 nights. It was the best place in California. The town was spanish/mexican inspired, big bay with beaches and marina and mountains in the background. unfortunatley it was labourday weekend, so it was really busy. Eventually we found a place to stay, Haley cottage or like we got to call it "the cottage from hell" It is on the top of our most disgusting list... shower was minging....not gonna give any more detais.
We also experienced Americans going to the beach. Me and phil came with packed lunch and sarrongs and thought we were well sorted.....but the americans bring with: a party tent, big bbq, play-area for kids, food to last for weeks....
After that we ended up in LA, we stayed at the beach in st monica. LA is huge and it was boiling. We saw Hollywood, Mans' Chinese Theatre (where the Star Hand-prints are), Rodeo Drive and Venice beach ="LA's version of Camden". managed to take the wrong bus on the way there so had to walk about 7 miles in 39 degree C heat!!! Worth it in the end i suppose, Also like true dirty travelers we used the fountain in the middle of a shopping mall to wash the grime off our feet, ha ha.
Now in Vegas!! here I am pretty lost for words...unless you have been here it is very difficult to describe. Closest I can come is and Adult disneyland on acid! Just plain weird, but fantastic. No funds to gamble with but, the first night we were able to pay for all our beer, food and still came home with cash from just winning on the slots.
Needless to say, Sofia has taken photos of everything 10 fold! Every possible angle etc etc. Ok, I might have taken a few too. :-)
No posh hotels on the strip for us unfortunately, We were warned by the Taxi driver who dropped us from the airport not to walk around there at night. Ominous start. Upon checking into our very dubious motel, one particular guest was also checking in his two hookers for "about an hour". NICE!
Anyway, we are agin scamming the free net in the Apple store so will update our many photos when we get to the hostel in Mexico city.
Bye for now,
Och lite svenska:
De ar jatte miljovanliga i California. Atervinnings soptunnor pa gatorna, electriska bussar och $1000 fine om man smutsar ner ( Tone du far passar dej om du kommer hit, inga fimpar pa gatorna har inte!!!! ha ha) Pa samma satt sa har alla stora 4X4 som dar mycket bensin. Bensinen ar billig 6-7kr litern. De gillar ocksa att campa och de kommer med enorma husbilar, ( som lastbilar) med Jeepen pa dragkroken!!! helt galet.
Elen for las vegar ar nog lika hog som for hela sverige.
Folk i California ar trevliga och activa. Alla aldra surfar, joggar och ar ute o gar.
Kramar
Sofia o Phil
