So if you
have been following me on Instagram you might have noticed that me and my
boyfriend went on holiday. On THE holiday. We went roadtripping for 16 days
through California and visited Nevada and Arizona too. Since there are so many
photos to show and so many places to mention, I decided I am going to split our
journey in 4 blogposts. So let's dive into the memories, shall we. :)
It all
started at 2 am on a Thursday, 27 April, when GoOpti picked us up and drove us
to Venice. We boarded our flight to Paris, where we (luckily) managed to catch
our connecting flight to LAX. I think I probably don't have to mention that as
we were travelling for 17 hours we were quite tired so we only grabbed
something to eat and fell into our bed. We woke up pretty early the next day
and headed to Hollywood Blv, where we walked the Walk of Fame, and soon called
an Uber to Hollywood Hills. He dropped us of at the foot and the climb to the
Hollywood Sign began.
In the
afternoon we visited Venice beach and Santa Monica Pier, where we enjoyed in
the magical sunset. This place was honestly amazing, especially in the golden
hour.
Okay,
*story time*. When I was in primary school, I was obsessed with watching MTV’s
Laguna Beach. And when I say obsessed I mean watching every episode a number of
times, wishing I was there. So of course, one of the places I was looking
forward most to visiting, was Laguna Beach. And since I have the best boyfriend
in the world, he agreed to make my teenage dreams come true. So on a Saturday
we drove there, and I was in awe. This city was even more perfect than I
imagined.
When we
took in all the beauty and tried an acai bowl (that was a must :D), we drove
back to LA to visit the Griffith Observatory. Another famous spot that attracts
many tourists, righteously so.
On Sunday,
30 April, we left our LA Airbnb and headed to our next destination: San Luis
Obispo. We decided to take the scenic route (ALWAYS TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE :D) and
marveled at the wonderful Mulholland Road.
Driving on Hwy 1 (famous American highway that runs along most of the
Pacific Coastline) we made many stops and enjoyed in amazing views and glorious
cliffs. We also visited Santa Barbara which in a lovely little town, full of
mosaics, flowers and colors.
Finally, we arrived in San Luis Obispo and quickly fell sound asleep
after a whole day filled with adventures.
