Lesson learned today,
always try to book ahead by at least a few days. When we originally
planned our holidays we thought that we could go to the towns and
book when we get there or maybe the day ahead. Silly us. We learnt
our lesson today though. Driving towards Pismo Beach our intened
stop, I struck the bright idea that we might try and get a hotel
first as we were running a bit late. Unfortunately for us – Pismo
Beach seemed like its a really popular destination and all the rooms
were booked out or reaaaaally expensive. Yeah... not good right. I
thought so too. In the end though we managed to find a place in Morro
Bay which I knew was only slightly further away. In the end though we
found this to be an even better place to stay. Sure there were no
factory outlets here but the view was amazing, plus it was closer to
San Fran by a but . All good in the end :D
Another thing we forgot
to book was car hire. Something else we spent a long time trying to
sort out. The first place we went to was Budget and the only car they
had for us to hire was a Dodge Charger. Awesome car – but man its a
huge car. And crazy powerful and fuel guzzling as well. We definitely
did not need it driving along the coast. Eventually after trying for
10 minutes to get into the Aviz compound and finding it walled off
and guarded like fort knox, we ended up going to Hertz (mainly
because we found they had a front carpark and a bus to drive people
in. So we ended up getting a Chevolet Cruze (Holden Cruze?) and its a
really nice little car. Smooth engine, well equiped and very
comfortable. Definitely a great little car. Also really recommend
Hertz – The guy that helped us was fantastic.
So another thing I have
realised is that the food and drink here is so unhealthy! Well Ok, I
already realised that before I came over but the reality of it is
kind of astounding. The one thing that really hits you is the drinks
they have here. For one thing it's massively sugary... like drinking
cordial syrup straight. It's really rather scary...
