Last day in the States


Today was the last day of our USA vacation as we’re leaving tomorrow morning. The Sandman Inn kept providing positive surprises still today. The breakfast was well better than our expectations. We thought we’d get just some cereals and toast but there was everything from different fruits, lots of breads, eggs, yoghurt, muffins etc. So for once we got a really good breakfast to start the day. After checking out we drove to the Santa Barbara beach to enjoy the nice weather. It was once again sunny with about 20°C. 

After a few hours of walking we jumped again into our Jeep and drove south for a while to Montecito. We found ourselves again on the beach because there were some picnic tables and we had a little snack. During the day we drove in several stages. After the snack we drove to Oxnard, then to Malibu. We thought to find a place to eat there but it was not made for our student wallets. We had the same problem in Santa Monica too so we decided to drive to our next hotel in Los Angeles and look there for a restaurant. That proved to be an excellent decision because we found a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant. We asked our waiter to help us to choose a tasty meal and he proposed us to take some egg rolls as appetizers and a noodle soup with a lot of well-done beef. We had no clue how to eat the soup as we got also some salad and sprouts on the table. The waiter showed us how to eat and once we understood the system the food was really tasteful and also very cheap :) Tomorrow morning it’s time to leave USA and move on to Shanghai!
