Once our stay in San Francisco was over, the only thing left to do was to drive back to LA airport via a trail of interesting destinations. We left our San Francisco hotel at 6am so that we could make it to the early morning whale watching boat in Monterey (pronounced "mon-a-ray" by Americans, rather than "mon-ta-ree" which is what I had been calling it for weeks.) Whale watching was one of the things

The last big stop on my American road trip was, of course, San Francisco. If you hadn't noticed already, 70s style is kinda my thing, so I was dying to visit the home of hippies.

You guys, these might be my favourite photos ever taken of me. I felt so glamorous in this swimsuit and it turns out the colourful backdrop of The Saguaro is just what I needed injecting into my outfit photos. If only I could take it home?! I love plunging necklines on swimming costumes and luckily this one has an adjustable neck tie so I don't have to face the tall-person-in-a-one-piece dilemma of
