Today saw us leave San Francisco and start the journey south towards LA. We took route 101, the Pacific Highway. We ended up stopping in a town called Pismo Beach for the night. Funnily enough this town is beside the sea with some beautiful beachs dotted about the place. The drive took us about four & half hours and took in a lot vegetable crops alongside the road, many of which were being picked by gangs of Mexicans.

We ended up staying in a Quality Inn with a heated outdoor pool and massive jacuzzi with waterfalls in it. Nice and relaxing in the sunshine! Later on we headed round to a local laundromat to do some laundry as tonight we had to pack everything up for heading to New Zealand. As for the packing it has went surprisingly well so far with our stuff all fitting back into the bags and still a bit of room left over.
That just leaves us with one day left in the states! Its going to be strange leaving after 4 weeks here but also exciting as we get to start all over again in a new place. We have to drop the car off at the airport by 5pm and then our flight is supposed to leave at 9pm tomorrow night. The fun part is we won’t arrive in New Zealand until 6am Friday morning their time, lossing a whole day is going to fry my head.
Hopefully you have been enjoying our blogging as we’ve travelled across the USA. We’ve been able to update it a lot more than we originally thought with internet access being quite easy to get here. Not sure how its going to work out in NZ but we’ll try our best to regularly update you.
Chat to you all again in the southern hemisphere!
