We went to hire a car from Hertz to make the journey to San Diego. Wanted a compact car but they were only left with full-size (which we will later appreciate! lol) so took it. It's a Buick Lacrosse.
Drop by at Dessert Hills Factory Outlet on the way there. And this is where we spent half the day...S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G. All the big brands are like sooooooooooooooooooooooooo CHEAP wor!!! A/X, PRL, Nike, Coach, Guess, DKNY, CK, Oakleys, etc, etc, and etc. So this is when our car boot start filling up! LMAO
By the time we finally reach San Diego, it was totally dark, partly cos it's winter time too. We had a late dinner before retiring at Days Inn Suites.
Day 5
San Diego is just like LA, I think. At least, the town is similar lah. Then we headed to this little island called Conorado. It's really slow paced and tranquil. Kinda reminds me of Tasmania lor, minus the lobster! lol So spent the morning there. Really nice ;> Then there was this ice skating rink by the seaside lor in front of this really ancient hotel. Can't remember the name liao. But it's soooooo cool....literally and figuratively heheh
Then headed back to mainland and went on to Balboa Park. Think it's supposedly the biggest man-made park in the world. Went to a few museums. And they also have these little huts, each representing one country of the United Nation, some were manned, some were not.
After that, we headed to their famous wharf. Can't remember what it's called liao. Sorry lah, STM can ;p Anywayz, took some nice pics then discover they were having this Festival of Lights event tonite. So decided to stay to watch that before heading back to LA.
The Festival of Light thingy was actually all these yachts nicely decorated with all kinds of lightings, some like Santa and reindeer sleigh, some pirates, etc. Quite a visual spectacle overall albeit having out butts frozen off seated on the stone cold breakwater throughout.
Then made the arduous night drive back to our Quality Inn & Suites in LA.
