So my short stint of lone travelling on the Californian coast is almost over. Nick set me the challenge of meeting at least two new friends while he was gone. I'd love to say this has been a success, and I have met a number of people in the two hostels I've been in but I can't actually remember any of their names, and since that was the test I think we'll all agree that I've failed.

I'm currently in a little town called San Luis Obispo. Its actually really nice, but does have the odd distinction of its two major tourist attractions being an alleyway where the walls are entirely covered in chewed bubble gum (there's a picture of this in the set of new pictures that I've added) and a hotel that is famous for its urinals (really, I'm not kidding - look it up!).

Anyway, all is good. I'm driving to LA tomorrow to pick Nick up and then we're coming back as far as Santa Barbara before setting off again.

Hope everyone is good back home.
