We carried on down Highway 1 until we reached Elephant Seal Beach, I don’t know the proper name for it but this describes it perfectly!! The entire beach was full of all sizes from youngsters all the way up to the Beachmaster, a giant inelegant bag of blubber and hormones fighting to keep his place as top dog. The breeding season was close and all of them were play fighting and sizing up their opponents in preparation for mating. I mean who’d want to lie on a beach all day in the sunshine and only occasionally getting up to eat, drink or have sex? ………………….Oh wait!! Well we finally got to Hollywood and sought out a cracking Thai restaurant were the shellfish were superb and the drink flowed like wine, well it actually was wine! After this oceanic feast we sauntered over to what we thought was a comedy club as it had a huge figure of a clown on the side of the building and we looked forward to rounding off an enjoyable evening with some sharp, satirical American humour. That’s not what we got but let’s just say my eyes were opened that night and cameras weren’t allowed in so you’ll just have to use your imagination. The drinks were reasonable though and the ‘cabaret’ was interesting to say the least. Anyway we decided to call it an early night as we were flying back tomorrow so at 2 am we quit and walked back to the hotel. Next stop LAX and the long flight home.
