So, here we are in Mexico, i dont know how many days it is into the trip. Been a few since i last posted. Am in an internet cafe in Ensenada, Baja Mexico. Really hot here. Hot and dry...and poor. cheap though which is good. last night we got a motel for $35 American dollars. about 7 pounds each for all you English. Wasnt too bad a place either- no roaches!
Anyway, last night during the drive here i wrote a load of stuff about LA and the last few days, all on another computer. I cant be bothered to reiterate all that stuff and boreyou all with "we went here, we went there etc" (what am i? Jack Kerouac??) hehe seriously tho, i will just give u guys a run down of the last few days of events:
Saturday night in LA was jokes. Went to a club on Sunset Blvd. This is apparently where Mischa Barton and Paris Hilton hang out. In fact we tried to get into one of those A list clubs but to no avail. There were paparazzi guys hanging outside with al the beautiful people. Theres me turning up with my pastey skin and beer gut.....hey ladies! Well we did get into some club down the road. loads of buff guys, plastic people, expensive drinks .($10 Gin and Tonic!).....about the drinks....they are sometimes expensive in a club...but! you actually get a massive shot. see, they dont measure them out, so often you are really getting a double.
Some girls we met bought us chili dogs! My first one in fact. Was a big pile of mess. Not really very nice, but we were drunk and hungry. LA clubs.
Sunday we drove around and went to look at the Hollywood sign which has been made really difficult to get to. We took pictures of it which i will post next chance i get.(theyre on damons laptop.)

Lets see.....Monday! Now 2 weeks into the trip. 2 weeks of sleeping in a smelly van, in dodgy carparks and illegal spaces...
on this scorching hot day we went to Universal studios, did the tour with the earthquake and jaws ride which you have probably seen on TV. that was kind of stupid but fun to seeall the same. I felt like a schmuck riding around in that tram with all these happy snappers. Middle Americans with thick accents and old leathery skin. Probably called George and Ira or something. Anyway, Univeral was good, even if it was touristy. Interesting seeing the film lots and set pieces. they were filming Desperate Housewives there and we got to see the set. Pics of the tour to come.
Tuesday was even better, we left LA and went to Orange County (California!!! Here we coooommmmee uh uh uh ome* theme from the OC) After having had a taste for roller coasters the previous day, we went to Knotts Farm theme park which had the most awesome and scary roller coasters ever. We rode them like 7 or 8 times each. I was pretty sick by 6 o clock. There was one where your legs dangle down. its so high and has like 6 loops. Insane at the front.
Also another one which accelerates at 0-80 kmph in under 2 seconds then goes up 250 ft, down to a vertical drop. Awesome fun.
Yesterday was ok. After spending the night in Newport (where the OC is supposedly set) we headed into San Diego down the road. The last city before Mexico border.
Newport was a strange place. Very affluent. But boring. I didnt see any Marrisas or Summers, just old ladies with collegen implants, jogging with their little poodles. Shops for the rich and bored. Nice Yachts though, if you go in for that sort of thing.
We knew it was time to get the hell out when looking for a pack of cigarettes, some guy drove past and yelled at me to get my haircut. The bloody cheek! He was probably some retired army guy. Twat.
So thats that and here i am in Mexico. Crosssed the border yesterday at Tijuana, like regular fugitives escaping from the law. Damon left his laptop bag in a supermarket and realised this when we were 60 km away, heading for Ensenada. Its a long story but it was thanks to Jesus that we got it back. I'' ll tell about it later.
thats a long post! Im gonna do the offski, but will post the new pics i have soon.
A riva derchi! or whatever they say in Mexico. Beuno! Ola something somethingxxx
