California and Fiji

Greg Says,,,,, Sorry for lack of updates, however when you are in the wild west it's difficult to find a saloon with Internet access!
We had a great time in California, starting off in San Fran.....going to Alcatraz and Golden Gate. I did ask the guards if they keep the children locked away, but they said they were too much trouble, so we had to bring them away with us!
After San Fran travelled down the Big Sur, which ois the road down the coast to LA. It's really lovely, I could spend all day extelling it's virtues! We stopped in Cambria on the way, near to where they have Elephant seals on the beach... different world!
LA was big....managed to find Universal Studios, where we had a fantastic time....although Rowena kept losing her bag with her camera in! Foryunately managed to retrieve a week later!
The big boys left on 28th October, which was sad as I knew I wouldn't see them for 6 months or so!
Went up to Death Valley in an RV, only 27 foot long....small by US Standards!! Death Valley is incredible...colours of the salt flats and mountains are amazing. Then we left for the Sequoia National park, where we saw the Big Redwoods...again amazing stuff.
Finished in LA, where we found ourselves at Venice Beach...some interesting sights here, where life is very slow.
Have to go ...will update on Fiji later
