Last day in LA

Hi,

Firstly Trek America was amazing!!! I'm going to write up here what we did when I have time but it might take a while so will need to get to a cheap internet cafe. Just thought I would try and post an update today.

So yesterday we spent about 2 hours in an internet cafe trying to dump all our photos onto an online storage site. It takes soooo long to do I only managed to get rid of a few. I think we will just have to buy new memory cards and put the best pics on Facebook since the internet cafe time would probably work out to be more expensive.

I've found LA is a bit of a dull place to look around. The place generally is quite dirty. Even walking up Hollywood and Sunset Blvd the area is nothing like I imagined. The order of shops along the street is generally sex shop, smoke shop, pizza place......and that's about it. So we've been to the movies quite a few times. The night life is pretty cool though, as Steve said we had a blast on Friday night.

There are also lots of crazy people here, as you might expect. There are alot of Scientology offices here. On Friday we were wandering around and saw (another) museum of death. Not the type of thing you would really want to go and see but we were curious as to what it was and so popped in. It was a very smart looking building, the staff gave us headphones and mic packs to listen to all the exhibits. We got inside and the first room was a life-sizes padded cell. Then they locked us in to watch a video. Very weird. Anyway, turns out the whole exhibit was about how Psychiatry is the root of all evil. They attributed psychiatry to the rise of Hitler and the holocaust, racism, terrorism, the list goes on. Turns out it was a Scientlolgy recruitment centre. Bad decision to go in. Their beliefs are so strange.

So today we have just packed up all our stuff to fly tonight. Flight goes around midnight. Gemma has left to meet up with another trek america girl. Wayne is staying here for a few more nights so although checkout was at 11 we managed to blag a free day with him in the same room which is a result!

Just got some lunch, its now 3.30. Just gonne chill for a bit until around 6.00pm and then head for the metro to get to LAX airport. Then onto Fiji!!!! Not looking forward to carrying my backpack. Im sure it weights alot more than it did when we arrived in LA.

We will try and message soon if there is internet access on the Fiji Islands we stay at.

Hope you are all well, bye for now
