San Diego

From advice from other travellers, we headed south to San Diego, which is really close to the US-Mexico border. It is a far cleaner (less polluted) city that LA which was noticeable as soon as we stepped off the train. The hostel is in the Gaslamp District which is full of restaurants so we ate at a different place each night.

We headed to the San Diego Zoo (which is massive) and spent almost all day there. We caught a couple of their shows - one with sealions and the other with wild animals (which included a cheetah with its companion - a golden retriever!)

We also went to Pacific Beach for the day. The day had begun being a little cloudy but the sun shone through and I ended up getting quite burnt!!! Typical!

We're heading to San Francisco for our next stop.
