Ok,so its not an Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi, the initial leg of my Journey from sleepy Adelaide, Australia is now complete, safely tucked away in what will be my accomodation for the next few nights while I await my noble steed to arrive at the port of Long Beach on the 10th of June and get the notification to collect it a couple of days after.

Things are expensive here in Los Angeles from an Australian perspective, the poor currency conversion rate certainly dosn't help the matter, so purchases will be kept to the bare essentials of food and water, maybe not even water, the tap water doesn't taste bad!.
