Saturday morning we packed our cases for the last time before heading back to England, all be it with a slight hangover after those margaritas last night. Our decision to return to the bar with only enough money had worked, but only just!
The flight home wasn't until early in the evening, giving us most of the day to ourselves.
After checking out we went just along Riverside Drive for breakfast at the iconic Bobs Big Boy diner.
The Big Boy statue, disguised as a rocket was used by Dr Evil to escape into space in the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, it was also used in the sequel The Spy Who Shagged Me
After breakfast we drove to Santa Monica where the morning fog was still hovering above making it quite chilly. After driving up the PCH to Malibu it was time to head for the airport. We drove back along Sunset Boulevard from the coast until we reached the 405 freeway, taking it back down to LAX and the end of our road trip.
We clocked up 2,370 miles in the Sebring and it was very sad having to hand the keys back to the rental company.
Till next time.......
