I then went to the LACMA. This museum is very cool. There is everything in it. But i found the South Asia section the best. Another section which was cool was the Islamic and Tibetan Art. There was also modern, European, Pacific and some of Pablo Picassos works and art of his time. This ended our day and we went back to the hotel to go to bed after a long, long, long day.

... degrees +) and so so busy (I don't know why we hadn't figured this out considering it was July 3rd!). Good fun though and the rides are amazing. Unfortunately Rosie wasn't feeling too well by the end of the day so in the evening her and Claire decided to stay in the hotel while me and Sal went to Pasadena to get 21 choices (this amazing frozen yoghurt place I used to make people go to when I lived in Pasadena) with Ben and Rudy. Was so nice to catch up with ...

... wait endlessly until one drops by. They advertise with "you don't need a timetable when you want to ride with us". I wanted to go from Hollywood to Beverly Hills yesterday (you can probably figure out, that it isn't that far) It took me about an hour. So if you can avoid riding public transport: do it! (ok, if you're a backpacker with a limited budget, it's not really avoidable) That's also the ...

... Cupcake with Cream Cheese Icing.... its ok, you can drool, too. I did! Then I enjoyed a great baked brie, granny smith apple, and caramelized onion panini.... SO GOOD! I would recommend this little treasure to anyone (the place, I mean!) From there, we headed to her home in North Hollywood to hang out with the dogs (3 of them) and watch TV and just chill out. It was a long-overdue visit! AWESOME! The dogs, as you will see in the photos and video with myself ...

... morning, I wanted more! The next day, being today Sunday 8th July, me and the kids and 2 friend of Bryce, Mike and Duffy, went to Disneyland in LA. The rides were absolutely incredible, there is no doubt about that and the fire work after wards at the end of the show put the one on the 4th July to shame! But the most amazing ride for me here was the one called: It's a small world after all! I have attached the video of this ride among my photos on this ...

... to Punta Arenas Awoke at the crack of 9:30 with the captain announcing our route. Head is full of cotton. I'm not one of those who slept well. Breakfast with a nice French couple from Paris. As we left, my French started coming back. C'est la vie. Beautiful scenery through the fog and rain. The weather is good enough, so we will detour to see a glacier of the Patagonian ice fields. It is a whole landscape there in the glacier, with ...
