We picked up our rental car which smelled of smoke, so we swapped it 3 more times until we found one which would have to do. The seats fold down flat so hopefully we can sleep in it.
Day Two – 25 June 2015 – Los Angeles to La Jolla (near San Diego)
We were up at the crack of 5am and on the road by about 6am. I’ve heard bad things about LA traffic and wanted to avoid it at all costs! We stopped for breakfast at Wilma’s Cafe on Balboa Island near Newport in Orange County.

Our next stop was Oceanside. There was a nice pier here with weird lifeguards.

A couple of stoned guys played us a really bad version of Hotel California.

We stayed for two nights at La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya) and found an amazing beachside hotel with a studio apartment overlooking the sea.

Day Three – 26 June 2015 – La Jolla and Mission Beach, San Diego
We hired some weird looking bikes which they call “Beach Cruisers” and cycled along Mission Beach.
