Santa Monica

Luckily I had made sandwiches as there was nothing to eat on either of the planes. Staff more friendly thank goodness. Starting to tune into Peru…also wondering how on earth we are going to get everything back to OZ.

Funny to see the cities getting bigger and bigger as our journey progressed and LA was of course the largest.

Our luggage was some of the last to come off and I was starting to become a bit anxious but then it came tumbling down…rucksacks, golf clubs, Veendam bag and all! Phew!

Into a cab (which should have cost $25 but actually cost $50!!) and there was the ocean and the Huntley. A motley crew we must have looked - our bags draped off the luggage cart but finally we were in the lift to the 14th floor……..great view of the beach and the city.

Bliss of a shower – a half bottle of Veuve Cliquot and then off to the pier for seafood……..white wine in a tumbler and relaxation!

Home to check and answer emails - love getting them thanks. Left messages for Caleb and then to bed.
