So, having finally found my hotel, I discover (admittedly whilst driving around looking for it) that I am just down the hill from Sunset Boulevard. Couldn’t see any of the houses in the dark as they are all hidden behind high hedges, walls etc. However, here I am in Santa Monica drinking coffee having finally found somewhere to wash my knickers.
And suddenly: the cafes sell kale, oat milk, fat free smoothies, vegan muffins and spirulina. Everyone is in sports gear having power walked before breakfast. A lot of them are accessorised with a small child and / or a dog.
Oh and I finally worked out what was wrong with the satnav. Better late than never but at least I will be able to find the airport tomorrow.
Leaving for Easter Island via Tahiti tomorrow evening…..
The Retirement Travels 
Safe journey for the next leg xx

I’m sure, amidst all those healthy things, you can find coffee-flavoured soft frozen yoghurt – a balm to the soul. There’s an expression that folk here use for the Common Ridings which is ‘safe oot, safe in’ – have a wonderful time on the next leg and at least you’ll know how to work the satnav when you next return to the/any mainland.
