A 6000 feet climb in to Arrowhead revealed a forest wonderland - a beautiful "cabin" (thankyou so much to the Custer family!!!), local shopping (my goodness the beer is cheap!) and we settled in for a night in front of the open fire....
All conversation from Arrowhead remains secret property of the GSE team.
Some beautiful walks, a tour of the local town, several drinks, constant grazing and some quiet team time made for a perfect weekend.
Cabin in Arrowhead....tough life
What happens in Arrowhead stays in Arrowhead......
Off the mountain to busy LA - we're not in Barstow anymore Toto...!!
What a transition. Met with our beautiful new host families, discussed the action packed week ahead, and home for dinner.
Monday saw a busy vocational morning for Rhonda and Luce, Tim and Narelle having the chance to sleep in - typical of police officers who have 9 weeks' holiday per year. Lunch at Phillipe (french dipped beef sandwiches, that's a newey), plus some apple pie.
After lunch (thanks Jose for everything!!), a beautiful tour of downtown LA, Hollywood (saw the sign, yay!!), Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and Malibu Beach. Narelle and Tim had to leave from Hollywood to catch some bad guys for the night, and sadly missed out on calamari, prawns, beers, sunset, the Pacific Ocean, the romance, tranquility.....how's the serenity!!!?
After a splash in the Pacific, we headed home singing about Pina Coladas with Garth Brooks. A busy day and an early night. The journey continues tomorrow, with another full on day and anticipation of tomorrow night at the magic castle.
Stay tuned, bye for now, GSE TEAM (Luce and Rhonda) XO
