We can see the sea

Morning in LA, no different to the night really. Breakfast at the hotel was... well odd and full of Germans but apart from that i enjoyed the cinnamon roll and orange juice!

Mission for the morning was to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood sign so off to the observatory we went. It was zoo busy we couldn't park so we just lept out of the car quickly snapped a pic of the sign and off we went. Reading the guidebook i found another location where there is a good view so we set the sat nab and we were off, again jumped out took a few snaps and off we went. By pure chance we crossed over Hollywood Boulevard so managed to also catch a glimpse of it in the daylight.

Now the sat nav is programmed for the pacific coast highway, it's so nice to see the sea again. We are heading to a place called Slovang, a Danish replica city in the middle of California. As we arrive i feel like i am in an Adult Disney land. All the buildings, shop workers, transport means look like we are in Denmark........ We enjoyed a perfect Danish pastry in a lovely cafe and then ate ice cream while watching the horse bus go by.

Then it's 50 miles to our final destination Pismo beach and the Cottage Inn by the sea. What a stunning hotel right on the beach. Me and Ben were straight in the pool and jacuzzi then the race was on for me to shower and wash, dry, straighten my hair before sunset. I made it and it look amazing as we watched the sun go down over the ocean. We then headed off down the beach in search of dinner. We went to Splashes cafe famous around the world for it's clam chowder in a bread bowl. I have to say i passed on that and had calamari and chips instead which was equally as good.

Then came the evening competition in the smallest, oldest bowling alley i have ever seen! The shoes were odd the floor was so slippery you kept feeling like you were going to fall over and to make it worse their league were bowling and putting us to shame! However it was fun none the least and surprise, surprise dad won! My tips from Andrew did come in handing and i still bowled reasonably well.

Back at the hotel everyone was tired and excited about hitting San Francisco tomorrow, the bed was HUGE, literally the biggest bed i've ever seen. Anyway it's 250 miles to San Fran tomorrow and the next part of the adventure begins.
