Day 72: Frankfurt To Los Angeles

---

Well the time to leave Europe has come and packing up as usual is a bit of a drama, still we finally got that done and it was off to the airport to catch the big silver bird to the good ol' US of A. Arriving in plenty of time we weighed our bags and found we were more then 10kg over weight so a rapid re-pack and chucking out of some less essential gear was called for. Joining the queue to check in we finally got aboard for the Lufthansa flight to LA. Some 12 hours later we arrived and caught the shuttle to our hotel, the Marriott at LAX. Deciding to head off into the Santa Monica area we caught a public bus to town and saw the pier, the famous beach and downtown Santa Monica. 3rd Street promenade was just great with stalls and shops buzzing.
