When we got ready this morning we found that we were up in time for the free breakfast that our hostel provides, so we helped ourselves to some coffee and toast and then went out to explore Hermosa Beach.
This place is lovely. We think it is by far the prettiest place we have been to so far. All the houses are really funky looking and there aren't two that are the same. There are some that look like Spanish Villas, some that look like wooden doll's houses (but obviously bigger) and some that look like posh town houses.
We took a long walk up to Manhattan Beach, which is similar to Venice and Santa Monica Beaches: really wide, yellow sands and lots of volleyball nets - the beach goes on for miles!
When we got to the Manhattan Beach area we took a walk around the town and stopped in Jamba Juice for a smoothie, then looked in the shops before walking back through the streets - admiring the houses. We even looked in some estate agent's windows, but the cheapest houses were a cool £1million!
This afternoon, we took a walk in the opposite direction, along Hermosa Beach, and stopped for fish and chips in a little beach-side café (which were nowhere near as good as fish and chips at home). Nikki also bought a new t-shirt with some of her birthday money.
When we got back to the square where our hostel is we thought we'd go into the Lighthouse Café as they had live music. We sat and had a few beers watching a band called Yesterday's Child sing classic rock songs - they were pretty good, much better than the drunk guy who kept getting up to dance!
Tonight we bought some popcorn from the shop, which we cooked in our microwave and then sat and ate it in our room... rock on!
When I grow up, I want to live in Hermosa Beach!
