Point Lomos

Lighthouse

Cabrillo National Monument

After the Zoo we decided to visit the Cabrillo National Monument, (i have no idea why).

Pete at the Zoo?

Peter "The Hawk Man" Elespe made a brief and rare appearance at the Zoo today!

Koala Bear

This one was playing musical chairs and i managed to get this picture when the music stopped and he was really still.

Hungry Panda

Not quite as popular as Hungry Hippo's

Norwegian Blue

Beautiful plumage!

I have no idea what this is, just thought i'd slip in a Monty Python gag.

Going to the Zoo

First stop today was San Diego Zoo.

Embarcadero Marine Park

The weather was a bit overcast today, so after visiting the harbour, we hit the shops for a little last minute shopping.

Seaport Village

As we were pretty wiped out from the day before, we decided to take it easy.

First we visited the Seaport Village which is located on the harbour.

Hotel Number Eight

Finally arrived in San Diego at 20:30. For the next three nights we are staying at the Park Manor Suites. Our room is massive, it's 1100 square feet and has two bedrooms, kitchen, lounge and dining area.

Cholla Gardens

These things are just weird! The things on the right.

Curtains Rock

That's not it's real name, we just made it up!

Pretty funny though, it took me 10 minutes to stop laughing when i first saw it.

Skull Rock

How cool is this!

Cap Rock

They like to name thier rocks in the park, this one is called Cap Rock.

Old Car at the Mill

Just outside of the mill, is this very old and rusty car, much like my own car at home.

Inside the Mill

Spooky!

Wall Street Mill

A 1.1 mile trek away was the old Wall Street Mill.

The Grave of Worth Bagley

Worth Bagley bit the dust at the hands of W.F. Keys on May 11, 1943.

Does What it Says on the Tin

As you'd imagine, the Joshua Tree National Park is full of Joshua trees!

Joshua Tree National Park

Today we started at the Joshua Tree National Park.

View From the Room

The room has a fantastic view over the golf course & mountains.

Hotel Number Seven

This time we had a suite at the Indian Wells Resort in Palm Springs.

At the top

Catriona at the top.

On the way up

View from the cable car with snow still on the mountain.

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway

The journey to the top only took 10 minutes to travel the 2.5 mile trip. The trip began at the valley station, 2,643 feet and travels up to the top at 8,516 feet. The floor of the cable car rotated which was cool.

Windmills

We saw loads of them on the way to Palm Springs.

Paradise Pier

Catriona, just before we rode the California Screamin roller coaster at Disney's California Adventure park.

Nemo

This is a glimpse of the new Finding Nemo ride. It's alot like the old 20,000 leagues under the sea ride, but much more up to date and fancy.
