After a very lazy day yesterday in Las Vegas, visiting the Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur and Planet Hollywood and betting a whole $50 in total, today we drove back to Los Angeles.

It's a long drive - five hours - but luckily we were travelling against the traffic. Loads of Los Angelenos dash off to Las Vegas for the weekend on Friday, returning on Sunday night. Bit of a slog for Andy, and as we'd done it the other way a week ago, there wasn't anything new to see - just the Mohave Desert.

The hotel here in Laguna Beach is *right* on the oceanfront - a superb location. Laguna Beach is an artists' colony-type place - much more like the French or Italian Riviera than anything you would expect to find close to LA.

Unfortunately, the weather forecast for the next two days isn't great: overcast skies, and not terribly warm. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed!
