Back from America

Hi!!

So obviously I'm back from the USA. All was good and the photos can be seen as below. Pretty amazing really. The highlights were San Francisco which is just an amazing city. If you get the chance go. It's good. Their cable cars are just the best, most risky form of transport ever invented. Vegas is as you'd expect. A city made for entertainment. Yosemite is cold (in October at least) we'd stayed in a tent and froze. Santa Cruz is the most chilled cool city I've been to. We only had a while there but had a hotel over looking the beach and I'd love to go back anytime soon. LA is BIG but good all the same. All in all a very positive experience of California. They have everything. Sun, Ski, Sights. Also I loved a little place we stayed in called Lone Pine. What we British expect of small town America, a bar, 3 restaurants, 2 gas stations. I'd like to live there one day. There or Santa Cruz. Or maybe San Fran. So that's about it. Hopefully the pictures (which aren't all uploaded yet!) tell the story. 2350 miles gets you a long way in Cali. Other than that the final preparations have begun for the big trip. It's scary and exciting. More scary at the moment really. Half of me can't wait. Half is scared this this is a ridiculous pipe dream. We'll soon see. It's less than 3.5 weeks away. So that's it really for now.

From Bishop California.

So I've been in America for 1 week. LA seems like a long time ago but was brilliant. Hanging out in beverley hills is certainly an experience. Today we've traveled through Death Valley and are halfway to yosemite park. all very exciting and amazing mountain scenery. Left Las Vegas this morning. The two halves of the day could not have ben more different. Vegas is Brilliant in its man made way. Death valley in its complete natural isolation. So it's back to nature or the next 3 days in Yosemite and around before we go on to San Francisco Probably on Sunday. We're hoping tomorrow will be a little calmer after lots of driving today. I''ve put some photos on Flickr. Anyway my time on internet is up.
