Pacific Coast Highway

10/08/2007 by Russell.

Emily and dad had a spat in the car becase of a simple but important misunderstanding, the air was blue because of a wrong freeway, 2 and half hrs later we arrived in Malibou.  I hate going in the wrong direction when it can be avoided, otherwise we have got to all our destinations really well.

Lunch at a takeaway sandwich bar - expensive but hey - the sarnies were delicious.  Greg met peanut butter for the first time on this trip.

Wanted to get up to Santa Barbara, but really wasn’t possible, so went on the beach and Pacific at Malibou.

DRove a bit further up PCH, and returned on 101 back to LA - some 55 miles back.

I would like to do the drive again, once you get in the hang of the freway system, it falls into place, but from Anaheim, we are about 1.5hrs from the beach.  LA is huge.  We have to move north by 35 miles to get to Universal today.

Will do the macabre today and visit some gravestones…

…and take a drive round the celeb homes in bel air.

Glad C and K had a good time and Phillip kept the house in order during your break.

Kids in bed as I write, but they are ahving such full days and don’t necessarily realise what a huge place LA is.  Forget public transport you need a car with aircon.
