Day 15: San Diego!

Alright folks.. Getting to the end of the vacation. There's just tomorrow left.

But for what we did today! Drove early out L.A. to San Diego. Good thing we didn't need to go the other way around, a huge traffic jam to get into L.A. with some lanes closed and a pretty bad accident happened while we were watching the other side of traffic..

Anyway, after arriving in San Diego it was too early to check into the hotel yet so we went to Sea World! I didn't bring my camera since I wasn't sure it would withstand the wet so no pictures.. And am I glad I didn't bring my camera! We got absolutely soaked on some rides! In the Shipwreck Cove ride I was sitting in just the wrong (or right, depending on your point of view) place and got literally EVERYTHING the course got throw at us.. From the first few little waves to the waterfall and more.. I was soaked through.

We did have a lot of fun in the park though, it's a very nice place to visit and spend the day. Of course, no visit to Sea World can be without seeing Shamu.. The show with the orca's. We did sit in the soak zone, but unfortunately it was just a bench or two too far off to get really really wet. But the show itself was very nice, the orca's were very well trained and performed amazingly well, it was very nice to watch.

Afterwards we went to the hotel and checked in, waited a few minutes for my friend to come by before heading into town again, walking along the docks and coastline and into the Gaslamp Quarter before eating at a very nice Thai place. We walked around a bit more afterwards before slowly heading back to the hotel.

Tomorrow we'll be visiting the USS Midway before meeting with my friend again and we might head off to the beach with this heatwave here. He'll be bringing some surfboards and other kinds of things for on the beach.

After that we might walk along Balboa park and Oldtown and finish the evening and night with playing some games at his place before flying back home..
