The One with the Sunburn or Stay Classy San Diego

I have to wander momentarily from my friends themed titles in homage of Anchorman set here!

As the train travelled down the coast and we realised that the sky is not pemanently grey in California, a weight lifted off my shoulders. We travelled along the beach itself with the blue water lapping the white sands and surfers silhouetted in the morning sun, riding the pacific waves on their journey to the shore. We even saw a pelican flying alongside the train.

San Diego was great. Out hostel was in the heart of the Gaslamp district - surrounded by Happy Hour bars and restuarants ( a Margareta is cheaper here than a Starbucks!)

We took the opportunity to chill out. We went to the famous San Diego Zoo and saw Su Lin the 14 month old Panda Cub, performing sealions and Cloud Leopards.

We also had a day lazing on the Pacific Beach (and are both now red to prove it!) H walks a bit like John Wayne at the mo!

A perfect Idyll compared to LA.
