Driving down to Big Sur in an Automatic round the long windy roads was fun. To our relief, the resort/cabin we stayed in was cute, cosy and clean. We went on a 2 mile walking trail (or TREK should I say), which led to the coastline. Big Sur is definitely a 'do nothing' place with stunning scenery - lovely.

Driving from Big Sur to L.A took around 6 hours. WHAT A DUMP. Well, Hollywood at least. Ketan and I were seriously contemplating staying elsewhere tonight, our hostel is a tad too seedy and unpredictable for our liking, as is the area. In the end, we've decided to soldier it out for one more night.
To make it better though, we saw the production 'Wicked' at the theatre last night, very nice!

Having a car in LA is SO useful; we've been to Venice Beach and Santa Monica, it was nice chilling out on the beach. At the moment we are back in the hostel to sort things out as we fly to Cook Islands tomorrow. In the morning it's a trip to the Hollywood sign, sunset strip and anything else left out.

P.s This computer doesn't allow me to upload photos either, so the wait could be a little longer :s
