Arrived safely in Los Angeles after an impressive 13 hour flight on Qantas premium economy.
We took a bus to Union Station in downtown LA for the train to San Diego. The station is very fancy, looking more like a church than a railway station.
The train runs right along the side of the beach for quite a lot of the journey. By this time the sun was setting.
Next day we headed to the lovely Balboa Park which has many Museums, the zoo, etc.
The Museum of Man is housed in one of the many early 20th century beaux arts buildings.
