Having spend the night into a motel on the cusp of Silicon Valley, we felt suitably acclimatised to our urban surroundings. Comfortable enough to ride the peaks and troughs of undulating San Francisco. We rocked up at our next pit stop early, another motel nestled in the heart of Broadway, keen to spend as much of the day exploring the new neighbourhood.
We awoke with the sun risen and warming up the day, giving us incredible views of last nights sleeping quarters.
We awoke metres from the Grand Canyon… well probably a couple hundred. Lets settle on pretty close.
After our incredibly long flight we finally arrived in LA on the same time and date as we’d left, we assume we entered a time machine.
We headed off from our campsite in Matata and beelined to the destination for the day, Hobbiton. Remnants of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films, the set of the Tolkien inspired Hobbit village, sat a couple of hours drive from our coastal starting point.
