San Diego

Wednesday cont...
The Girvan tour of the US rolls on. I must say if you ever get a chance to go to the states take this man with you. Not only does he know every cheap bar but he has googled all the interesting facts about the town so you dont go wanting.
On our arrival we got to meet the very lovely Juliet & her room mate Sara. We sat back and had a few beers talking about all the things that Australians do way better that the US :) It was a reasonably early night (about 1am) as we were due for a few big days coming up.

Thursday
Jane and I set off to San Diego Zoo. Natural home of the Panda and home to the grizzlies from Anchorman. It's set out a lot like Taronga Zoo but without the million dollar views. We spent most of the morning/afternoon walking around trying to push our way past thousands of school kids who were on their summer holidays.

From here we checked out the museum district before our tour organiser picked us up and took us down to Pacific Beach (PB as the locals call it) for some brews. First stop was La something or other which seems to be well known for it's endless supply of topless guys. John promises me this was a once off and normally it's pretty much 50/50

The Shore Club was next followed by the Fire House for tea, Moon Doggies & another pub which had peanut shells all over the floor was our last port of call.
