I can no longer complain about my alarm (yeah we'll see how long this lasts) because I have found a much stronger hate in my newest traveling discovery 'The snoorer'. TRAVEL LESSON NUMBER 3: always carry a pair of earplugs.
Last night we had the pleasure of a new room mate moving into our dorm, he was lovely when he was awake but as soon as his head hit the pillow he was shaking the front door of our hostel and loosening the tiles on the wall with his horrendous snore. Our dear friend Steph had to relocate to the common room to get some sleep. Luckily I slept most of the night through until a few hours before the alarm went off. A mixture of the sound of a man who seemed to be drowning in his bed and excitement for the coming day had me out of bed in minutes. After a long breakfast (I mean really, who buys ONE toaster for a hostel that sleeps more than 60 people?) we jumped into our shuttle for a suprisingly long journey to Anaheim DISNEYLAND!!!!! I say long because apparently it is a habit for LA inhabitants to lie about everything - mostly the direct shuttle buses that end up being direct to every hotel in the city before reaching the destination.

We finally reached Disneyland at 10:30 and purchased our Minnie Mouse ears straight off the mark. I cannot explain Disneyland, it is definately to hard to put into words. But if I had to try I might liken it to the most perfect place you've ever been but painted in your favourite colours and then covered with icing sugar. All day I felt like a child who had eaten too much candy, like I had boundless energy to try everything in my path. My favourite ride of the day was Space Mountain, which would be much like the Mouse Trap of Luna park on Speed and in the dark and ten times larger... it was excellent!

The bus ride home was much longer than the trip there and much less enjoyable. Eating a Hot Dog and going on thrill rides didn't seem to upset me, but being fatigued and riding in a bus had me focusing very hard on not bringing up the hot dog for round two. When we finally got back to West Hollywood Steph, Em and I made a trip back to the delicious chinese restaurant and ate until we nearly slept at the table.

Tomorrow we are off to Vegas. We have already packed and are anticipating the hotel room that awaits us on the other side. BUT FIRST the challenge of trying to sleep through the racket which I still cannot believe can be made by a human man.

Oooh Ok I battled snorers as well, bastards... there are ways you can convince your body its you snoring, and eventually you'll pass out. Breath in time with the snorer and eventually you're body thinks its you... thats how I got through it. Space mountain is the bomb. Have fun kids xo
