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 \u00a0hopefully we can sleep in it.<\/p>\n

Day Two – 25 June 2015 – Los Angeles to La Jolla (near San Diego)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were up at the crack of 5am and on the road by about 6am. I’ve heard bad things\u00a0about LA traffic and wanted to avoid it at all costs! We stopped for breakfast at Wilma’s Cafe on\u00a0Balboa Island near Newport in Orange County.<\/p>\n

Mike and I had a little walk around Balboa Island to walk off our giant breakfast.<\/p>\n

We stayed for two nights\u00a0at La Jolla (pronounced La Hoya) and found an amazing beachside hotel with a studio apartment overlooking the sea.<\/p>\n

Day Three – 26 June 2015 – La Jolla and Mission Beach, San Diego\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We hired some weird looking bikes which they call “Beach Cruisers” and \u00a0cycled along Mission Beach.<\/p>\n
