So I while I’m on holiday I know my fellow boot campers are sweating it out on the rowing machines, or the bicycle, or ski erg or whatever has been dreamed up.

Morning in Monterey and we hired some bikes and did some did the cruising up and and down the foreshore another pleasant day in California, we are certainly getting the good run with the sunshine. View Bike Ride Monterey Foreshore in a larger map Round the bay to Santa Cruz then we stuck to the coast and the highway one route via Half Moon Bay up to San Francisco, first time either for us traveling across the bridge so we took some tacky video footage have to upload it somewhere. In the rush of the moment I missed the turn off at the end of the bridge for the visitor lookout, so we’ll have to do that another time. We arrived at Dy’s early evening as usual she is a fantastic host, it will be great to be spending more than one night in the one location.

A great day and an early morning start we hit the 9am tour at Hearst Castle. The amount of money William Randolph Hearst must of had to get this place built is staggering. Even in this day and age getting the equipment and materials up the hill alone would be an achievement. Pay it a visit worth the time, I’d go back again. Left San Simeon just after midday and made our way up highway one toward Monterey. Definitely not the fast track but definitely the scenic one, a great drive with great views. We stopped in at Carmel to say hi Clint before talking the 17 mile drive via Pebble Beach round the coast till we finally ended up at our destination on Cannery Row. ...

Day two and we drove up from and we did a bit of the tourist things in Santa Barbara visited the Santa Barbara Old Mission. With some storm cloud brewing in the background we took a stroll only the beachfront and wondered out on Stearns Warf .

After a flight where the main cabin lights wouldn’t work, the lady in front of me required oxygen, and the young boy two rows behind us making use of the sick bag, we arrived in LA this morning. Close to being the last people to pick up our baggage, mostly due to the fact we had just got a queue at Immigration that moved at 1/2 the pace of the others, added to the 2 hour delay in leaving meant for a somewhat later drive from LA to Santa Barbara than expected.

Delayed departure so time for a final test run before we leave

Sessions 4 & 5 this week and my last session before we head off for two weeks in the USA. A two week absence in the middle of this camp was every reason I needed not to to it, but rather than put it off I choose to do it and work around it. I had good solid workout at both sessions but I need to work on pushing myself more. Weight in this morning at 103.45Kg thats 2KG down on my start weight, so a positive move.

So we are off the USA do tomorrow. Actually pretty exciting for me as I have 6 days at the LISA Conference in San Jose , something I have always wanted to attended by for some reason never have.
