24th July - DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!! If I had to choose between Disneyland and Universal Studios, Universal would win hands down.. Maybe we just got there on a bad day. The Matterhorn was closed (in the middle of the summer holidays) - Toon Town was closed - the Pirates of the Caribbean broke down and we got stuck in a tunnel- we couldn't go on It's a Small World because that broke down - they got it up and going later and we did eventually get the ride. The whole place seemed to be one big shopping mall of Disney clothes, toys etc etc Universal was brilliant - the queues were well managed and there were fine mist sprays to keep people cool and the rides were just the BEST - especially the Simpson ride Bugs# 33
25th July - Drove from Anaheim to Pismo Beach.. (202miles - 325 Kms) Bugs Bunny fans will remember that's where he was trying to go when he took a wrong turn a Albuquerque which was a good enough reason for us to stop there for the night. For those who wonder I don't think Bugs ever made it there. It was a reasonably good driving experience - I am feeling more comfortable about the size of the vehicle and with the help of some rhyming tips (left is long - Thanks Pat :) and right is tight) I am getting used to the wrong side of the road bit. That's not to say there hasn't been some OMG and WTF moments but I am getting there :) Bugs #47
26th July - Drove from Pismo Beach to Monterey- ( great place). Had clam chowder at Fisherman's Wharf. Very picturesque - seals in the harbour honking away - would like to have spent more time there. Then on to San Francisco - or rather the outskirts. Booked into a Super 6 for a few days. It's quite a bit cooler now we are further north - don't know if that's just a coincidence or normal. Driving wise - I have seen absolutely no tailgating - brilliant but indicating seems to be optional:) - 254 miles today - 409 kms. - Bugs #69
