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.

Tower of Terror

Super cool as always, only went on it the once though.

Trust Catriona to find the Petting Zoo

Made friends with a few goats in Frontierland.

Disney Day

So today it's Disney time. It opened at 8:00 so we were there when it opened. Not quite as busy as i thought it would be for a Sunday. Most rides had a 15-20 minute wait time with the execption on The new finding Nemo ride that had a 45 minute wait.

Weather was HOT again today with temperatures in the mid 90's!

Watch Out Elespe

MarioKart for the Wii was released today in the US, so i found a place that opened at midnight and went and got a copy for me and Steve Conrad. I hope Elesepe has been practising otherwise he's gonna get his ass whooped!

Marriot Suites Anaheim

This is the room. It has a nice seating area and seperate bedroom and TV's in both.

Hotel Number Six

Quiet day today. Decided to give Disneyland a miss today as it was Saturday. Just did a bit of shopping and then sat by pool and relaxed for the rest of the day before heading into Downtown Disney to see Richard Cheese at the House of Blues.

Hotel Number Five

Finally made it to the Hotel Menage (no rude gags please). The Room is nice and large with a 42" HD plasma TV. No nice view this time, but in Anaheim, there aint much to see.
