Day 5

Santa Barbara trip today, booked a Hertz car for a few days, will pick it up this morning, the place is 4 miles away. Dailed up waymo, arrived in 2mins brilliant, as they only have 100 cars in LA. $14.65 fare. Hertz gave me a Jeep SUV

SB drive is approx 2hrs mainly freeway along the coast nice views. Have to drive through the burnt to the ground beach area after the fire like a bomb had gone off, terrible. Walked the jetty and marina area, full of mega bucks boats. There was a gorgeous very old boat in the harbour, a famous local boat now gifted to the Maritime Museum

Had some lunch in the main shopping street. SB is a small coastal town like Yamba, overlooked by a mountain range. Harry and Megan live up there, fab views out to the coast and the Channel Islands.

Went and drove The Gib a famous bicycle hill climb only for the very fit. 9klm 1080m non stop switch backs. Busy drive home, got home at 7.30pm to have to go and help Rhys wife Leigh change the tyre on her car parked in Santa Monica.Читать далее
