Friday 1st June 2007


We woke up feeling sad this morning - our stay in Las Vegas was over (boooo), but never mind, we were flying back to LA. We didn't have anywhere to stay yet, but we figured we'd try Hermosa Beach, which is not far from the airport. We'd sort of reserved a place in one hostel there - but we weren't sure...

After getting ready we sat in the Starbucks in our hotel before going outside to catch the bus (but not before having one last go on the slot machines). The bus dropped us off right outside the airport and only cost $1.25 so we went inside, checked ourselves in and then Nikki rang her Grandma Iles.

As we knew we wouldn't be getting any food on the 45 minute flight we, you've guessed it, went to get some food. We chose... yet another burger! This time in Ruby's Dinette. It was HUGE!

When we arrived at LAX, we rang the Surf City Hostel (who said it was fine to stay) and caught the bus over. Our hostel is very cool. Well, the actual hostel is ok (we got a private room) but the area is awesome. We're surrounded by loads of bars and restaurants plus we're just a few steps from the beach.

We went out and got ourselves a slice of pizza each and then bought some beer and chocolate to take back to our room, where we sat watching TV on the laptop. Once again there isn't a TV in our room - well actually that's a lie - there is one, but I think they've put it in our room to store, because its sat on the floor, its not plugged in, it doesn't have an arial and it's very dusty.

Just as we were about to nod-off, it started... the 2 clubs below us started having a music competition. We tried sleeping to the sounds of The Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' and The Black Eyed Peas 'Lady Humps' - what a mix. Oh joy!

Another day, another place to stay!
