Surfing the coast of California - a roadtrip within a roadtrip!

Hey dear readers! We know you are there reading, even though there's not a lot of comments!? We have now had over a thousand views on the blog - impressive! Therefore we have added another feature - the music of our roadtrip! But enough of that...

As you read in the last post (our new post about LA) we have been on an amazing trip down the coast of California in the last couple of days in our beloved chocolate van. We left Tuesday around noon in our van - packed to the edge with sleeping bags, wetsuits, surfboards, clothes, CDs, etc... We firstly drove to the coast city San Clemente. We surfed by one of the beaches there and had a walk in the city - ended up eating dinner in a Thai restaurant before leaving for San Diego. Just outside San Diego we stopped in the town La Jolla, where we went to the cinema to see the movie "Fast Five" - an action packed nobrainer! After the movie we went to the beach to go for a walk before finding a spot to camp in the van for the night. We made ourselves comfortable there and made the van really cool and cosy!After a good night's sleep we went to Pacific Beach in San Diego to go surfing - California really has some wonderful beaches and some damn good weather! We surfed, relaxed and thereafter we drove to the San Diego Old Town - not really impressive, but we got to play some cards! When that part of San Diego was explored it was time for a place to eat dinner; we went to the Gaslamp district - a cool area with tons of shops, galleries, restaurants and bars. In the outer skirts of the district we found an nice little Indian restaurant - it was great! We got pretty fed up and drove off to the town Del Mar to sleep through the night - as tradition we took a stroll on the beach and a little walk in the town where we got some frozen yogurt (fortunately we came before closing time, the shop was actually closed but we were lucky!) before going to bed.


The day after went off with some surfing on the beach of Del Mar and a good smoothie from a cafe there... Mmm.... And then some more surfing on another beach in San Clemente! We came home both pretty sunburned, with one more great experience in the backpack! It was great to see all those beaches and experience the laid back atmosphere in Southern California!
