A crackwhore and a kayak!

Well this is the first blog from me (Elizabeth) so here goes..



In San Diego at the moment and we decided to explore a bit more and hop on a bus to La Jolla. Firstly, I have to mention the fact that every bus we have been on seems to also have the weirdest people in American society on too - we've had transvestites, mental old people, people who think taking a wash is a crime and our favourite..a crackwhore.

This particular crackwhore shared our journey to la Jolla and she kindly decided to brush past Aaron leaving a chalky residue on his shorts and sit in the seat behind us whilst sniffing constantly and looking as if she might at any moment throw up on our heads - oh she also smelt like a B.O. ridden rodent! After some stealth-like acting from Aaron we switched seats so we could breath through our noses again and get a better view of the crackwhore picking her scabs and our fellow passengers all with their hands to their noses!



Anyways back to kayaking..Two things we have realised about ourselves is 1. We are idiots. and 2. we have more faith in our kayaking abilities than is sensible. The Reason we are idiots is that both of us thought that we wouldn't get wet whilst kayaking - in fact we even thought that we could take our cameras and phones with us and not a drop of water would get on them..we were wrong..

As for our kayaking abilities we couldn't even get on the kayak without a wave coming and tipping us and the kayak over - 15 attempts and too many knocks on the head later we were both in and happily heading towards the caves. Unfortunately it wasn't long before a huge wave came and I was surfing along it all the way to shore until it knocked me off and I was back to the start!

Anyway we soon mastered it and were off to the caves which are amazing and the amount of sea lions and seals sitting on the rocks is incredible. The big beaked birds however were flying a bit too close to us for my liking but were still a pretty amazing sight as there were so many of them!



Despite being a bit battered kayaking was so much fun and La Jolla is one of the prettiest places we have been to so far. Also both of us trying to get onto the kayak is one of the funniest things we have done..although we do still have horse riding next week so it could be a contender..

  1. Good work little Lizzy! That crack whore description made me laugh.

    Have you got any pictures of you kayaking?

    San Diego sounds nice.
