The photo really says it all- Randy’s Donuts- the biggest, the tasitest and probably the most fatening donut we have found on this trip- and you might ask– what were they like- well one word- delicious. it was hard to stop at just one. Sadly this is our last day in the land of donuts […]

Venice Beach is the other big beach in Los Angeles- This one is full of freaks weirdos and other interesting and unusual people. A bit of a hippie spot and many have had just too much weed. There is a mile or two of paved walkway jam packed with somewhat dodgy Tshirt and food places […]

Santa Monica is one of the beach suburbs of LA – it reminded us a bit of Manly in Sydney or even St Kilda. Laid back heaps of cafes and little outlets and a great beach with squid port. A hidden treasure in LA
