:-)

I write this as we settle down for the night on our surprisingly still comfy air bed, in the back of our van. With only 6 nights left in here we are feeling somewhat relieved and sad at the same time. We've had some real adventures in this thing. 

New Mexico has been and gone! A very quick visit, yet still very well worth the visit. It was fascinating seeing the different architectural styles. We arrived late, and found a spot in the forrest to sleep. What a lovely spot to wake up to! 


We visited a small wildlife zoo in Albuquerque. This was really awesome as it is the only zoo in the world that has been built up by volunteer youth. They save animals that have been hurt or illegally taken from the wild, and that wouldn't survive back in the wild. It was a small place, but we were able to see a black bear, two baby mountain lions, coyote, wolves, alc and lots of birds with broken wings :-( 

We drove right through Arizona to San Diego in California. Here we visited La Jolla Cove which was a very groovy place. Checked out all the lazy, moody seals on the beach and strolled the beach trail admiring the beachfront homes (mansions!).




Next we visited Balboa Park. This massive park is in the middle of the city, it has something like seventeen museums and some beautiful gardens.





We are now currently in LA staying around Santa Monica. Today we spent the day at the beach and exploring the pier :-)




Tomorrow we have Venice beach and Hollywood on the cards. Eek! Very excited..it's nice to be back in the city!

Xx Grace and Theo

Koh Ta Kiev Island

We're back from Koh Ta Kiev Island! What a beautiful place. The last few days have been perfect. So relaxing, just what we needed after some pretty crazy cities that we have been visiting recently. We departed for our day trip on a boat from Otres Beach on Tuesday and that took us snorkelling around a couple of the surrounding islands. We visited elephant rock for some cliff diving..(Theo jumped but not I!) Spot the cliff diver! Then we headed for Koh Ta Kiev where the other people on the boat were just visiting for a few hours and then going back to the mainland, whereas we decided to stay. The tour guide spoke very little English so it was impossible explaining to him where we wanted to be dropped off (especially because we didn't know where it was exactly!) so he ended up stopping the boat and we had to get off right there. We had to carry our 18kg bags on our heads to get them on and off the boat dry Where are we??? !! We discovered that people br...

$1 Camper!

Hi all! Yesterday we picked up our $1 a day relocation camper from Las Vegas..we have four days in this lovely beast and we are driving it to Denver Colorado. There's a lot more room than our dodge caravan that's for sure! It's got a full sized shower, toilet, kitchen with fridge,oven , microwave. It even extends out once parked to make more room! We fly out of Denver on the 13th to Washington DC for a few days or so. We'll then head to New York. :-) Everything is swell!  Woohoo! Super excited! Breakfast this morning made by the fabulous Grace
