We had an interesting wander around Balboa Village on our first afternoon in LA – the village is on a peninsula/island off Newport Beach – very expensive eclectic mix of houses – prim and proper with beautiful gardens – many decorated along with the house for Halloween. Most fronting onto marinas with jetties and boats of all shapes and sizes but predominantly grand. We enjoyed a nice dinner back over the bridge.
Yesterday though we both came down with some sort of tummy bug and spent the whole day in our room – at least we are in a nice hotel and not still on the bus trip! A little disappointing though to catch this on the very last leg of the trip. Both well and up and at it today so all good – we had to postpone a tour around LA we had arranged for yesterday, and will do this instead this afternoon and get dropped off to the airport at the end of the tour.
We on the plane 10.30 pm Saturday night – miss Sunday altogether and arrive home early Monday morning!! Hope it is warm and dry in NZ – in the 7 weeks we have been away we have only seen rain on 3 occasions and each for only a few minutes to a couple of hours at most!!
