The journey to San Diego was relatively quick, we stopped a few times along the way once for Ben who was still feeling unwell and once for fuel (gas), that was an experience in itself. The hostel at San Diego was very luxurious compared to the LA hostel we had stayed in previous and was set up in such a way as to encourage socialising. We checked in and, in preparation for the overnight camping we had planned, went shopping for camping gas and tents, (after Ben ham-handedly destroyed mine in Australia). The following day we crossed the US boarder into Mexico and Tijuana, the difference was instantly noticeable, shanty town style buildings, crumbling sidewalks and pushy market sellers. After fighting off a barrage of taxi drivers we boarded a bus, where I think the driver ... read more

I've had some good weekends out in san diego. During the week its mostly going to uni and doing uni work but weekends typically involve going out then sleeping the next day. Mardi gras was a highlight. Last week saw the strokes at UCSD which was really good. Saw Redman at a free concert put on by my university. Unfortunately haven't been that good at taking my camera out except for the big events and trips so not much to show you around san diego. The clubs downtown are decent with some good house. Theres lots of hip hop clubs which are really sleazy- the dancing is a lot more like dry humping than dancing. Theres a place called Dave and Busters which is like timezone with lots of video games and pool tables and has ... read more

Boo!! We wandered back over the mexico-U.S border in a still-quite-drunk-from-last-night-daze-state and are now back staying with our wonderful friends in san diego. It's my birthday today, yayyy! Last night we went out in ensenada to celebrate. Was a night of much margeritas and tequila, which did a good job of ruining me (see other entry). Mexico is a cool place, we made the most of the hot weather and the drink. Spent half the time in ensenada, on the pacific side of the baja peninsula, and the other half in san felipe, on the gulf coast. Grace would like to let her friends know that they will be disowned if they do not send her messages of love and worship through this website. She writes it as well. Bad friends, bad, bad friends.

One of those things is the "+#" thing, which pretty much means X how many nights into the holiday we are... so when I get to europe it'll be like +60etc whatever... so just incase you dont know what I mean heh. As I type this, it's our 17th night here... Ill write "this" journal in a week or so. I can't remember dates at this point, so Ill have to actually use a pen and jot down some of those more boring details (for your viewing pleasure exclusively) now let us begin .... Wednesday Morning we awoke from our slumber in the Santa Monica hostel at about 9am (quite early for us) and did the usual morning stuff like shower and ... read more

Old Town San Diego Hotel The first time we went to San Diego was back in 2001. We got a room at a hotel near Sea World in San Diego. It was a discount hotel that had low prices, low amenities, but was located near some great attractions and areas of San Diego. Eating vegan in San Diego is easy. Lots of restaurants to choose from and a variety of options. ... read more
