Santa Monica//Last Days

The next day we packed our bags, checked out of our hotel and took a bus to Santa Monica! 
It was amazing there! Our hotel turned out to be in such a good location, just a few steps off the beach.



The view of the pier and beach fitness was to die for! Probably my favourite place we'd been to! 




Jenny and I decided to hire out some rollerblades.. Neither of us felt confident, so we held eachothers hand the whole time. Got a few weird looks from people, someone actually laughed at us.. But we managed to have a good work out ;)



The next morning I had a dream I was skateboarding.. So I rented one and managed to stay on it without falling, some guy actually thought I was a real skateboarder! Haha



We then took a stroll down Venice Beach where we saw the cast of a new TV Programme 'The Freak Show' and loads of old and tanned muscular men training at Muscle Beach. 






The next day the weather was amazing so we decided to hit the pier! Can't say it was as exciting as Universal Studios, but the view from the Ferros Wheel was incredible! 





Our last morning was spent chilling on the beach before heading back to San Francisco for our last couple of days!


The night we arrived in San Fran we were surprised by very cold weather! (Compared to LA :p) it was our friend Dan's Art show the same night so we were very excited! We even managed to fit a nice sushi in ;)


The Art Show theme was based on music Icons futuring loads of artists and  Daniel based his piece on Jay Z and it looked awsome! Check out his work www.danieljvaladez.com . After the show we went to a hip-hop bar and ended up having pancakes in the middle of the night! Good times ;)





Our last day was spent on a boat trip since we didn't manage to go to Alcatraz...



We saw this really cool restaurant which was based under water!


We were still annoyed about the fact we missed the change to go to Alcatraz and our tickets had now expired... But decided to give it another go and turmed out the people were very nice and let us hop on the ferry! We were so excited! 


It was a great trip and the experience was awsome, shame it was so cold on the last day but all in all a wonderful adventure to travel and see California! :)
