Had a bit of time so we went for a drive to Venice Beach but unfortunately the weather was overcast so none of the beautiful bodies were on display. Saw the canals of Venice.
We then returned the vehicle and caught the shuttle to LAX were we caught the flight to New York. Good flight and got into JFK at 10pm. We then thought it best to catch a taxi due to the short distance, about 6 miles to the motel as we pick up the RV tomorrow.
Old mate was pissballing along the expressway when I thought he hit the curb and the old yellow taxi fishtailed down the expressway. As it turned out the rear tyre which appeared to be in good condition had a blow out. Crossed ourselves grabbed what we could and kissed our asses during the precision driving demonstration.
Old mate got the tyre changed as well as the colour in his face and we arrived at our destination with no more surprises. He had turned the meter off and said that he had had enough for the night and was going home. Gave him twenty bucks and he was on his way.
The motel at Queens is good and we are booked in here for six nights after the motor home. Near the subway for easy access to the city so all should be good.
Hiya
ReplyDeleteGlad you're both ok after that display of rally driving. The tyre probably melted on the tarmac from all that scorching hot weather you're having out there!
Sounds like you're having a brilliant time. You had a Budweiser yet?!
The kids are missing you - I have 1 permanent shadow around the house and even Hooch has taken to sitting near me! William is following me everywhere - even from one side of the kitchen to the other!
Enjoy your RV driving.
