Rare weather phenomenons in Los Angeles

Exploring Chinatown, Venice and Santa Monica – Travel log no. 28

After an extensive breakfast and chat with Dough we left Palm Springs to drive down to LA.

Again we were fortunate to experience a really rare weather in California. It was raining the whole day in the sunny state. We managed to return our tent at Walmart and drove to Chinatown to get some Pho at Pho 87.

Chinatown, Los Angeles, California
Not many people are out on the really cool central plaza of Chinatown LA.

With a full belly we drove down to Venice Beach. The weather remained the same. At least the promenade was completely empty, but some sun wouldn’t have done any harm.

Venice Beach, California
Venice Beach is completely abandoned. Even all the shops are closing early.

After 20 days I finally made it from the Atlantic to the Pacific! We checked out the Santa Monica Peer and checked into the HI Hostel. It’s suppose to be the best hotel in 2016 and my first Hostel stay ever! We just attended a comedy show and will check out the nightlife in LA in a bit.

Sunset somewhere in the clouds behind Santa Monica Peer.

Tomorrow it’s time to say good bye to Annika and Eric. I will need to figure out how to sell my car and slowly drive up North to San Francisco. Hoping for sunnier days.
