Apple pilgrimage

Well having two Apple nerds so close to Steve Jobs' local Apple store we had to make the trip in to see it and buy a bit more paraphernalia.

Last night we had been for a walk down to Venice beach and quite frankly I was a bit disappointed. Mind you 15 degrees didn't help.

So this morning we took a cab up to Santa Monica. As we got closer the scenery went from crappy to nice. I started feeling better about being in L.A. A place I've never really enjoyed. $25 later we were on 3rd street Promenade. We stood outside the Apple store briefly then went and got some coffee and breakfast. While eating our eggs and drinking a passable latte we had the local busker playing "the Brady Bunch" on his trumpet. The waiter joked that with the entertainment we needed a ticket to leave!

Back to the apple store. Check email and first round of buying.

Next was a general shop around the promenade. Nice.







Then a quick walk down to the pier for a look.







Once we'd had a few more laps of the promenade and offloaded some more $$ into Mr Jobs' bank account we jumped on a bus driven by a very polite driver (NOT) and went back to the hotel. 0.75c !
Just a tad cheaper.

Notice no smart are comments about idiot bloody Gingas in this post either!
