We took a drive north to Venice Beach today. It's on the outskirts of Los Angeles and has been a mecca for those who want to be free spirits or who want to shock/impress for decades. Along the Ocean Front Walk there are lots of shops & stalls as well as buskers and wandering entertainers of all descriptions. You can also get free tickets to be in the audience of some TV shows; today it was Dr. Phil and Let's Make a Deal.

As well as the more sedate and aesthetically acceptable!
Here are a few pics of the beautiful beach, the walkways and cycleways all along the edge, which takes you up to Santa Monica.
Then I reached Santa Monica Pier - the end of Route 66!

Another great day!
As usual we had a little help from our friend Garmin. I'm beginning to expect a little more of her now though - like she could say "Well done!" after we negotiate a particularly difficult manoeuvre!!
