Oh dear, we woke up this morning and we didn't have anywhere to stay. We fancied moving onto to Santa Monica, but the only hostel there had no availability! We managed to book ourselves into a hostel called 'The Venice Beach Cotel' in...Venice Beach, although they only had dorm rooms so we had to settle for that.
We caught the bus down to Venice Beach and boy was that an experience! It was full of weirdo's. We arrived at the hostel at about 1pm. Venice Beach is cool, full of hippies. We saw Muscle Beach as well - where Arnold Schwarzenegger used to work out. We also sat and watched loads of people playing basketball - it was like the set of 'White Men Can't Jump'.
As we are trying to keep within budget more now, we took a trip to Ralph's supermarket to get some supplies. We bought tins of beans, bread, chilli, mashed potato, pasta and cheese - we're gonna have some cool meals!
Tonight we (yes! I helped) cooked some pasta in a cheese and tomato sauce for our tea, before going to bed and chatting with the girls in our room. They're all coming to the end of their trips. They went the other way around the world, and so they were able to tell us some cool places to look out for!
I have to admit, dorms aren't as bad as i'd imagined - I guess the fact that it was me and 5 girls made it easier!
