This morning we woke up when the alarm went off and got ourselves ready before packing our bags and putting them in the hostel storage room. This meant we could go out for the day before catching our flight this evening. We thought we'd walk in the opposite direction of Manhattan Beach and see where that took us.
Everywhere was really quiet - I guess that everyone was back at work this morning, and so there were very few people on the beach. We did see some people sat on their balconies, overlooking the ocean whilst working from home. When my business takes off - this is how i'm gonna do it!
Eventually we found ourselves in Redondo Beach and stopped to have a coffee in a café on a small fishing pier. When we'd finished we walked onto the main tourist pier and spent some time in the arcade. This place was ace! It was full of old arcade machines like Pacman, The Simpsons and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so I played on these and Nikki rode on the waltzers.
Rather than walk back along the beach we thought we would walk back along through the streets to see what was about. When we got back to Hermosa we went into Ralph's and got ourselves a salad each that we sat and ate them on the beach. It was about 4pm now, so we thought it was about time to collect our bags from the hostel and make our way to the airport.
We got to the airport in plenty of time and checked our bags in. Before we knew it we were boarding the plane and we had excellent seats next to the emergency exits so we had loads of leg room. After a short delay our plane took off and we were on our way to New Zealand.
I can't believe our American Adventure is over so soon. Oh, well - on to the next!
