We haven't been able to update you recently because of the poor access to internet in LA. We're now getting settled in mammoth where the library is about a mile away, so we shouldnt have any trouble from no on. Heres a run down of whats happened so far. Our Flight to Auckland was delayed 2 hours so we got off to a pretty bad start. More flying and alot of waiting around got us to L.A at about 2pm on Friday the 8th. We went for a walk around the hotel which we would be staying at for the next 2 days and soon found out that we infact don't speak english. Aydan: "Excuse me, what does ralph's sell?

Accommodation - Igloo style

EDAF 2005

Gilly managed to blag a late breakfast at Best Western in Bishop - so even though we slept in we took advantage of the complementary grub... Eventually found our accommodation in Mammoth - the town is buried under 16 feet of snow and the entrance to the hostel looks like the doorway to a igloo!! The owner and her friends arrived at the same time as we did and it looked as if we would be spending the week with the Golden Girls - the actually turned out to be really nice and a lot of fun. We were finally able to cook for ourselves after a week of eating out for nearly every meal - simple things really do make to happy - like soup for tea and being able to unpack your rucksac instead ... read more
