LA & Malibu

From Palm Springs we headed westwards on highway number 10 towards Los Angeles. The traffic got denser, the highways got wider - up to 5 lanes each way and the smog got thicker. There was this really brown haze at the horizon that gave it away - LA must be near.
But once we passed the civil commotion of the big city we drove through Santa Barbara and up along the coast to Malibu. There is this long wide stretch of beach, lined by houses, next to which is a 4 lane highway and next to this are cliffs. Not not much room and not at all quite like Cottesloe Beach here. We tried just stopping there to have a look around - $6 for parking!!


This is the Malibu Pier where we had a nice dinner watching the sunset and drinking Margarita - our new favourite drink since Mexico :-)
