Feelin still very tired i departed the bus in downtown LA, it was real early in the mornin and was 2 tired 2 be able 2 navigate the buses in this way 2 big city. I came to the taxi rank and asked a driver how much it would be 2 Venice Beach 'about 30 bucks' he says. 52 bucks later i was pissed. However in the taxi we pulled onto highway 10, i thought 2 myself that it was pretty amazin that i had been on this very same road right at the opposite end of the country. A might [View Full Entry]

Well i did it, i finally left Las Vegas (round of applause, i thank u) Well i best tell u all about my last day in "sin city" i got up and started chewin through 'on the road' by Jack Kerouac the book that really made me want 2 travel this vast country. After been in Las Vegas and gettin pissed off with it i perhaps needed a reminder of this mighty country. After readin 4 a while i took a walk up 2 the greyhound bus station, that old den of inequity where the lowest of the low and the [View Full Entry]

About now i should be headin off 2 LA on the old greyhound, drivin through the night. Ballin all the way through the state of California. Arrivin in LA as the sun begins to rise and checkin myself in2 a hostel, but alas it wasn't to be. Every hostel in LA is fully booked out for the saturday... FUCKITY FUCK FUCK!!! And i think i've done all i want to do in Las Vegas, that is without breakin the bank! I said goodbye to Alice and Tess as they are headin up 2 northern california and decided to take a stroll [View Full Entry]

With Ben in Diego with Debbie, me and the aussies headed off to the ominously soundin "Death Valley" the hottest place in the USA... i wasn't worried i knew as soon as i got there it would be known as "Lively Valley!!" Before we entered the park we explored a small ghost town called Rhyolite, which was an old minin town, which was made all the more strange by the sculptures which greeted u as u entered the town. Sculptures of Ghosts which u could climb inside... man i wish i could put the pictures up on here. Another sculpture was [View Full Entry]

By the time Alice arrived in the rental and we packed our stuff it was about nine. We headed out of Vegas and hit the highway, we crossed over the hoover damn where we took snaps (interestin fact: did u know the concrete has not fully set in the hoover damn, even though it was finished in 1934. Hope u were sat down for that fact!) We got to the Grand Canyon early afternoon and got parked up and wow!! That place is truly amazin, i mean in England we have what? The north yorks moors and dales, the white clifts [View Full Entry]

We rolled in2 Las Vegas about 5:30 a.m and were very releived to get off the fuckin coach. Travellin long distances on Greyhound sucks. There r people constantly sniffin... to the point where i wanna just say "BLOW UR GODDAMN NOSE!!!" But as they probably carry knives i bit my tongue. The first part wasn't to bad, crossin through New Mexico and Arizona, seein those big old cactuses but as soon as the sun sets u just wanna slit ur wrists. Unlike the train the seats r 2 small 4 u to ever become comfey especially if u get sat next [View Full Entry]

But don't worry i've wrote em in my diary so i'll try and bang em up on here at some point. Anyways got into El Paso early evenin and got a lift from the station to our hostel where much confusion did commence. I'd booked online in2 our Hostel and when we got there we sorted out our room and the guy [View Full Entry]

After the previous nights encountered we quickly made breakfast got in the car and began our journey up north, but this time on the west coast. After an hour or so we made it 2 Naples, where we chilled out on the beach for a while, being a lot more cautious due 2 the sun burn from miami. Naples was real nice and the beach was gorgeous. I was of course straight in2 that sea. The nice warm gulf of mexico. We then continued north, but inland towards Orlando for theme park fun. We pulled in2 a mostel just south of [View Full Entry]

This mornin we jumped in2 the car and hiballed it 2 florida city which is right next 2 the everglades national park. It was only a 40 min drive so we got there in good time, checked in2 the hostel and headed straight 2 the national everglades national park 4 a bit of steve irwin action. The everglades is really a really wide river, but real shallow which is full of all sorts of creatures that wouldn't think twice about bitin off a limb or injecting u full of venom. On this trip i half expected not see much actual wildlife [View Full Entry]

We got in2 the orlando area late mornin and after an all u can eat breakfast we headed 2 universal studios, which is seperated in2 two parks. On the first day we went 2 the island of adventure and within been there for 10 minutes i saw people dressed up as super heroes such as spider-man and wolverine and the first theme was about marvel characters so instantly i went from being 22 to feelin 8, which was cool. The coasters here were real good especially fond of the incredible hulk one and the spiderman one was real cool of course [View Full Entry]
