We visited Hank's house from Californication which is just by the beach front, and after a long walk around the houses (figuratively and literally) we found the Little Venice canals. These are beautiful and very peaceful. It's less so down the board walk due to the heckling from traders etc, but it's still fascinating.
After this we drove to the McKinley house where we just had a quick peek at the outside (awesome) then headed off to Santa Monica, as the Sat nav didn't seem to want to know the address for the Ray Kappe house we wanted to see.
After a seriously protracted search for reasonably priced parking (for a short stay) we finally were able to head down the pier. I believe this peer was used in Chuck where Morgan skives off work to go and play guitar hero against Laslow. It was super busy but good to see.
We then walked to the open air mall and looked around briefly before making the half hour walk back to where we parked the car.

Then came the serious Hell-A traffic on the freeway, which I thought would be fairly quick, and well...free. It took us an hour and a half to get twenty miles. Imagine the m25 just after an accident, and they've closed all but one lane. Pain!
Anyway we got to where we were headed - the outlet stores, only to find no trainers as we should have sought a mall rather than outlet stores! Oh, and every American person asks why we aren't sitting watching the Olympics in London. We did try to explain that not everybody gets tickets and that this is our honeymoon! Maybe they believe England is so small that all 55million of us can just turn up.
We ate dinner here - Emily went for a Teriyaki Salmon and I went for some Vietnamese chicken and king prawn fried rice - one of the best dishes I've eaten in America full stop.
We then took a snooze in the car (as we are so knackered) before heading down the freeway to San Diego where we arrived a bit before midnight.
Oh and we had to fill up with gas as we'd got to just below a quarter of a tank and the car was estimating only 50miles left! I think if you took the mustang fuel level to the red, you'd only have about 1mile's worth of petrol! Still, it only cost 45 dollars for 3/4 of a tank so the 22mpg average was a bit less painful.

Tomorrow, we try and catch up on some rest me thinks.
