Last night we decided that today we'd travel along the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu. It would only cost $3 for an all day bus pass, so we thought it was worth a look. We got up and walked for about an hour along the coast to Santa Monica and caught the bus from there.
All along the PCH you could tell that Malibu is where all the rich people live. Every second car was a Porsche or something similar, and all the huge houses were built into the hills - all overlooking the ocean - with pretty spectacular views!
The bus driver dropped us in this small shopping area and told us that it was pretty much the centre of Malibu, so we had a look around there before going to check out the beach. For some reason we were both knackered and fell asleep there. When we woke up we went and got ourselves a bite to eat. We had a sarnie each (Nikki's was chicken salad and mine BBQ pork) and shared a drink and some crisps - the total was $20. Nikki said the person in front of her spent $40 (on 2 sandwiches!)
When we'd finished exploring Malibu we caught the bus back to Santa Monica and had a look around the shops there. It was pretty cool, there's one really long street with loads of shops either side and street performers in the middle - there was everything from dancers to acrobats - all in the street!
After finishing in Santa Monica we caught the bus back to Venice and took a walk along the beach. We found out today that they actually DID film 'White Men Can't Jump' here! When we got back, Nikki used up the ingredients we'd bought the other day and made us cheesy pasta... mmmmmm!
We then came back into our room and packed our bags. We have to be up early in the morning, we have a flight at 9.52am... to Las Vegas!
Goodbye Venice... we're off to Las Vegas!
