The lure of low cost, lightweight & independent travel once again beckons. Living in youth hostels & pensions, eating off the side of the road with long cramped rides on buses, trains, ferries carting only what we can carry on our backs. The post GFC environment sees me once again hitting well worn tracks to explore cultures, sights and interact with people.

Venice beach
Well, this is it, a trip down to Venice Beach as the last day before a midnight flight to Brisbane. What a hassle to store the backpacks at the hotel, as it turned out, it was even more difficult to get them back, who would have guessed?
Venice Beach is always featured in American movies and TV shows, using public transport, it takes a fair effort to get down the beach, I get the feeling LA is an automobile city. There is naturally public transport, LA however is a city spread over a huge area and it appears the system is a little lacking. All in all, Venice Beach has plenty going for it, good facilities, lots of sand and grass - unfortunately, there is also plenty of weird people with a fairly major altercation on the bus on the way down.
