Sonny's dance!

Becoming a millionaire!

I came out of the club and thought I struck gold with what looked like a 100 dollar bill on the ground. As I soon discovered it was actually a 1,000,000 dollar bill with this God fearing message emblazoned on the back of it!

The million dollar question: Will you go to heaven? Here's a quick test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said who ever looks at a women to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart". Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on judgement day? If you have done these thing, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulter-at-heart. Read your bible daily!

I suppose I am going to hell then because I am guilty of the all the above. Thanks guys for the message and the broken hope of finding some real money!

Hermosa beach!



Here is Ted catching a Friday night power nap, before we went out. Scientists say that a 15 minute power nap prior to a drinking session equates to an extra 45 minutes on any busy dance floor!

Another mellow day in SoCal we passed Santa Monica and Venice Beach to arrive in Hermosa Beach on a busy Friday Night. With the one and only hostel in this small beach town fully booked we locked our bikes up outside and sneaked into the hostel for a warm shower. We threw on some clothes, threw back 6 pear ciders and threw some shapes down on the dance floor of Sharkeez bar. 2 am grabbed my sleeping bag and in an almost military display of tactical timing and planning I crept passed the beach police to my usual sleeping grounds underneath the lifeguard hut. I stayed with Alex while Ted slept under the barnicle infested peer 300 metres away!



The parrot!

Craziest bird I ever met! I spent about half an hour being entertained by this 14 year old Cockatoo called Sonny. Her owner was just as extrovert and wild as the bird. A fat old American lady sitting on the bench eating doughnuts!


Arriving in Venice Beach!

Shooting up vodka jelly shots in Hermosa beach. Our last night with Mr Nick Bjornson the badass Tuba player!



After cruising along Manhattan beach on the awesome bike path which runs onto and along the beach we arrived in Venice Beach. Unable to find a hostel and with the beach being way to busy for a stealth camp we had to pay up $125 bucks between 5 for a night in a motel. Well worth the investment, got showered up and locked our bikes up safely and went to a few bars!


The rope in Venice!

The Governor of California!

I warn you this shit is funny! Arnold goes crazy. " I am beautiful . This is how the body is supposed to look!" Must see comedy Gold!
