This week we were both looking forward to as we just wanted to sunbathe on a beach after 6 weeks of sightseeing, however the weather wasn't that great - sunny but windy but we still braved the beach.
On the night we arrived we explored downtown. A nice place with trees and plants everywhere. The atmosphere was strange tho. It had all the "peace" people there and the worst buskers ever but it still made people dance around etc..
Day 1
We got up a little later than planned and just went to the main beach on boardwalk. To our surprise we were greeted by an amusement park ri
ght on the beach itself!!! It was like being in Blackpool except without all the gypos from Scotland and Newcastle lol ha ha. It was sunny but not too hot so we just sunbathed a little, bought a volly ball, then went on the rides - We still caught the sun and even got a little burnt.

A cloudy day but warm so we went to Capitola beach which was a quaint little fishing place - a bit like Robin Hoods Bay. We walked for ages around the place then played volley ba
ll before being kicked off by the owners of the nets - the group of people had only stopped for a breather and we just jumped on and were getting well into it.. we walked away dead embarrassed

A chilly day so we watched TV in the motel and just chilled downtown.
26/05 - 30/05 - Santa Barbara
We fulfilled one of our dreams and drove down highway 1 - an amazing drive with the pacific on the right all t
he way down. We stopped and swapped over driving s we could both admire the sea. This place we fell in love with straight away.. its class!!!! Its a beach place with a cool downtown. Its probably the prettiest city yet and even may rank above San Fran and New York.. The streets were lined with flowerbeds, fountains and palm tree's and the beach was gorgeous, even the homeless people had tans!!

We got to finally do what we'd been waiting for.....lay around on a beach all day, playing the occasional game of volleyball and eating ice cream
- just perfect. That night we went to the supermarket to get some tea in, a feast of stag chilli in a can and pita, all for $3!!

Day 2 - Another day at the beach, this time east beach where we spent the day people watching and had our first proper dip in the pacific. We walked up to butterfly beach where apparently a load of celebs live, there were loads of signs saying 'Private Keep Out' but we didn't see any celebs, all we saw was a baby seal dying on the shore, ahhh. That night we decided to treat ourselves to an Italian downtown, a great atmosphere at night, really lively.
Day 3 - Back to east beach for our last day of sun.
Before heading off to LA we had a stroll around the parks and a last look at the surf shops where rich bought himself some boardies......soz surf slang for swimming shorts for the senior people reading this!

Hello Team RA,
This is a fantastic site, really interesting - absolutely spot on!
Now a small favour. On behalf of all football loving people in Norfolk I have a big favour to ask PLEASE BRING BACK OUR HUCKS !
Yes, quite unbelievably Mr Roeder decided to dispense with the services of the great 'twinkle toes' and it appears that Hucks is heading to the U.S. instead - I'm hoping right into your laps !!!
If you spot him, sign him up for your world tour, cuff him to your rucksacks and deliver him back to the shrine of English football on your return - succeed and you'll gain the freedom of our fair City (there's only one City !!!) - though Mr Roeder will probably not be a happy bunny, but let's worry about that one later.
Many thanks in advance Team RA. We'll keep tracking your progress in the weeks and months to come.
Byeeee
Canaryboy + Team
