Day 45 - San Diego

---

After a long journey the train arrived in Los Angeles Union station directly through the arse-end of the city, literally miles of urban industrialisation and scrap yards, not the best intro to LA but we weren't staying today. The station was an art deco masterpiece, larger than any other train station we had seen in the States, and fairly busy for a change. We waited around and took the next train to San Diego which slowly punted it's way down the more scenic coastline overlooking the pacific ocean. The view coming into San Diego was much nicer and when we arrived at the rather exotic looking station with the downtown skyscrapers behind it, we thought this was a much nicer place to stay. We had booked into Ocean Beach Backpackers and were expecting a free lift as promised from the station, however on ringing the hostel we were asked to do something 'special' for them, that being take the bus ourselves! The hostel was ok and it grew on us, although it wasn't as nice as our luxury in Flagstaff and it had creaky plastic covered pillows. Worse than that was the smell coming from the sandals of one of our 'roomies', we were going to spray them with some deoderant.
