Venice Beach #Day7

Today was spent soaking up some California sunshine!  

We walked from our hostle along Venice Beach Broadwalk up to Santa Monica Pier. Was a 7km walk there and back

    

The pier was packed full of people! 

    
 

Checking out Muscle Beach: 

  

Our hostel is right on the beach so we went back, got our bathers and spent the rest of the afternoon sunbaking!  

 

Sunset. 

 

Tomorrow we are going to Hollywood! 

Disneyland #Day6

Disneyland- the happiest place on earth!  

We left Venice Beach at midday and caught a 1 hour uber ride to Disneyland! 

 

I couldn't have been more excited for today! We met up with 2 girls from home who are going to be on the same contiki as us. 

Disneyland was everything I hoped for and more! Unfortunately we didn't have enough time there as we hoped but we checked out 3 rides and 2 parades.  

 

 

 

    
 

The parade through the main streets full of vibrant costumes and energetic dancers:    

All the props were amazing:   

The Indiana jones ride was a highlight: 

 

We grabbed some dinner at a diner across the street and came back for the light show parade: 

   

The castle at night: 

 

Unfortunately there were no fireworks due to dangerous winds :( but we still got to see a pretty neat light show:

 

All our childhood dreams came true!
