17/10/2010: Santa Monica

Another perfect day with a gentle breeze.

My breakfast did not arrive as the order form was still on the door in the morning. I ring Room Service and told them about the order form. They apologised and I told them that it is not something that I expect from the Hilton hotel.

I take a taxi into the Starlines Tour depot and collect my ticket for the 48 hour Hop-On-Hop-Off bus and Madame Tussauds.

I take the 9:00AM Red Route bus to Stop 7 and transfer to the Yellow Route. The driver stops a few times to tell us about things along the way including a hill we are going to travel down. He even stops to buy himself some water.

I got off at the Santa Monica pier. I had lunch at Bubba Gumps and the food was delicious. I went for a walk along the beach.

I spend the rest of the afternoon travelling the Yellow Route looking at the sights and absorbing it all in.

I arrive back at the hotel to find a bowl of fruit (grapes; apple; orange; pears) and a hand written apology over the *confusion* with breakfast.
