Change of plan. Due to us not being prepared for the memorial week / weekend rush we had to change are plans slightly. Basically we could'nt get any accommodation in Vegas...even the homeless shelter was full!!! So we decided to come back down to San Diego then onto Vegas. After driving all day back down the coast we arrived shattered. None of us could speak and the thought of getting back in a car made us feel sick. Based on the sickness levels we decided ...

Apparently its meant to be a hippie surfy town but I certainly wasn't feeling the peace and love to all vibe going on! However, ever the optimist im sure it is beautiful. You just need a bit more time to explore. Chow x x xx x x
