Shit got real

After telling C for weeks that shit was getting real it finally came around including a bout of food poisoning. So after going to early to Wellys then finding plane was 1/2 hr delayed we made it to Auckland

Never have I been so pleased to be beside a toilet in a plane but after a half of granddads blue pills managed a fitful sleep. So we arrived in LA at the same we left home very easy through customs and hotel.  Hotel a typical airport hotel with everything and nothing. 

Went out straight away ubered down to Venice beach $10.67 US a distance maybe Wellington to Upper Hutt. Even cheaper on way home

First impressions all the large cars have gone except the big Utes the driving is very courteous and easy nothing like say Auckland traffic

Venice beach pretty cool 

After another pill to get into routine woke at 730 am.  Decided to do hop on bus tour which picked us up from hotel. Did 2 legs of it both sick of then not really a o there was where Shirley temple was born sort of person but as always a really good way to see the city and get your bearings. Got off down at Santa Monica and walked down pier where Route 66 finishes
