Last day in LA and back to NZ






Our last day in LA was spent at Santa Monica and Venice Beach. We began with brunch at IHOP - American Chain, International House of Pancakes! HUGE meals and not as nice as we'd hoped. Kesia barely looked like she'd touched her chocolate chip pancakes! All left feeling BLAH! Headed straight to the bike hire place and hired tandem bikes for. Amazing cycle ways, over 24miles along coast between beaches. Spent an hour cycling round, awesome on tandems! Checked out Venice Beach and Muscle Beach. What a sight. Lots of strong men and women parading their stuff and skills on the equipment. Jordan & Kesia tried out a tight rope and some bars. Took back our bikes then spent time at Pacific Pier where Jordan & Kesia tried out yet another roller coaster. Time for shopping on 3rd Street Promenade and Jordan & Kesia had their last wetzel pretzel! They were definately a favourite of the trip. YUM! Took a drive along coast to Malibu and Scott and Jordan gazed and googled over lots of flash cars! Headed to the Airport and had fun trying to find where we left from, luckily we had lots of time. Had our last Starbucks and spent time looking at photos on computer and supposedly loading them onto CD for me to bring home - (unfortunately when i went to put photos on home laptop the CD was empty!) Sad Goodbyes to Scott before we made our way through to wait for our plane. Long wait and plenty of time to play cards and buy lollies for the trip! Jordan & Kesia managed to sleep 8 hours on the plane so great trip for them. Arrived home exhausted and shattered but with amazing memories and stories to tell. Hoping Scott will add some photos of our last day to this blog. Let's wait and see! Once again thanks to everyone for sharing our blog and look forward to catching up with everyone soon.
