Lazy day today
Had another walk with Ruby and Neil. We went along Lakeside Drive, home to many of the uber rich locals. Their acreage sites run from the road down to their very own private beaches. If u ain't got a spare $50m plus don't both looking for a new pad

One of these had huge steel sculptures of a Bison, a Moose and a Bald Eagle in front of the properties gate house

Unfortunately my few pics were taken in the morning shadows. Had a nice black currant cider in the brewery pub in the arvo. Then went back to Neal's where Leigh and Jarrad, Rhys mate cooked up a nice pasta dish with garlic bread and salad.

Watched stage 2 of the TDF then off to bedもっと詳しく

Head off tonght for the 7hr drive back to Venice. Rhys & Leigh have found the night time drive the best option with the lads matching their sleep clock.

Had a nice lunch at the local golf club $220 per person for non residents includes a buggy to play 18 holes. Lovely views from the restaurant verandah. Rhys took me for a drive in Jarrod's rally car style restored 911 to Kings beach, very different there, not filled with the uber rich but that transformation is in the process of happening as the bay views are excellent.

Had a nana nap, packed the car and headed off 6pm ish. Stays light till 9.30pm so got to see 3 and half hours of the road that was dark coming up. The road is 7000ft up snow capped mountain ranges before its drops down nearing LA. There are 3 huge lakes along the way and saw a few guys fly fishing in the rivers that feed them

Lads slept all the way until we had to get them out of the car in Venice about 1.40am. Have a few more day's in Venice before heading back to Murbah, miss my bed and Annie thats for sureもっと詳しく

Day 40 back in Venice
7月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Lads woke at 7.30am so i had to get up. Helped rhys wash his car, covered in bugs. Took the ebikes and went over to a good burger bar on Main St. Yanks are very good at making burgers

Then rode over to Esplanade near Santa Monica and had a chili margarita which had a 4mm slice of jalapeno in it it. Then back home for a nana nap.

Back and knees have called time on sleeping on a futon on the floor. So i went to REI a large camping chain like BCF but more upmarket and bought a nice camp bed to leave at the house. Looking forward to tonights test sleep.

Indian takeaway and some TDF replays then bedもっと詳しく

Today's trip is to the Peterson Museum a famous car buff that created the Hot Rod magazine. This is my 2nd trip here my first being 3yrs ago. He has a huge collection and regularly changes the cars being displayed. Its a purpose built building of 4 levels and an underground floor and a pricey multi storey carpark $26 usd.

Spent close to 3hrs there
Could have taken 100 pics
What a collection

Waymo had a big display there, Apparently they started developing their system in 2009, a fascinating display explaining how the system works. They had their next car also on display, moving on from the Jaguars to a Chinese car made by Geely. Seen a couple around venice being tested. Its very utilitarian like big box 5 seats no steering wheel sliding door flat floor high roof. Going to have less sensors so will be cheaper.

LAPD also have police horses they were patrolling the Venice Esplanade when we were out walking. The last pic is of the local store a few 100m from my sons place have a good local beer and wine collection and a half decent coffeeもっと詳しく

Nana nap arvo then had an upmarket italian dinner at a walking distance restaurant on Abbott Kinney Rd. Ordered far too many courses all delicious washed down with some gin cocktails. Walked back home and an early night.もっと詳しく

Headed off early this morning for a 95 klm drive in Rhys 911 to a regular Cars and Coffee meet at a disused Roadhouse called Newcombs Ranch. Its 5400 ft up in the Angeles National Forest via a long winding road with huge drop offs, not accessible in the winter months due to the snow up there.

Quite a white knuckle ride i must say, lots of very expensive fast cars to feast your eyes on. Apparently Sat each summer week is the bike day.

Another ebike ride for lunch to Gjusts a great old Italian bakery with wood ovens set in an industrial area with a big garden alongside to sit in the shade of the trees. Make great baguette sandwiches.

Ride back home then some book reading before a Mexican food truck din dins so popular here and inexpensive. Never done so much ebiking and LA drivers seem to be better behaved than OZ driversもっと詳しく

Well trip comes to an end today, fly home tonight 10.10pm flight to NZ then to Brisbane. Annie my taxi, cant wait to meet up with her.

Had my last walk around the area another nice day weather wise, quite a few people on the beach. Saw a local catch a 1m striped sea bass off the end of the jetty, which the other fishos making him cut it free as they are protected with heavy fine. Had a late lunch at an interesting pizza place that also raises chickens and ducks with some funny chicken signs on their cage. Might amuse Jenny & Brett. So the lads were kept interested whilst we ate 2 very nice pizzas.

Walked back thru the older part of Venice which had the original 1900s housing which is gorgeous. Venice has undergone many changes over the years from being covered in oil rig pumps for as far as the eye could see to then being turned into a copy of Venice by the Sea with the canals being put in.

After giving the lads my last hugs, Rhys dropped me off at the airport which was unusually quiet he reckoned, he lives only 20min from the airport.

Might be my last penguin post, its a good system but it gets to be a bit of a pain having to update it daily... ...もっと詳しく
