Los Angeles (USA)
21 Jan – 22 Jan 2017
Back at the now entrenched Banana Motel on Hollywood
Boulevard we were on the verge of making it to Central America, 'for real'.
Los Angeles had acted as our forward position, our rally point prior to making our final
assault, but, we still had one more thing to do before we drew a line through
Los Angeles and ticked the ‘completed’ box, Disneyland.

We’d purchased tickets for 22 JAN which just so happened
to coincide with a torrential downpour that persisted for most of the day.
Disneyland is one of the global epicentres of laughter
and joy but even it has a breaking point on days like these. For as much as
you do to wish the rain away, for as much you have the desire is to banish the cold
from your mind and think thoughts of pure starlight, rainbows and jelly beans, wild weather...it just knows how to defeat that attitude.

I love this photo - we're in the second row and the speed at which the roller coaster was going just made you feel like you copping small bullets of water to the face!
This is even better, the rain was brutal...but we were actually laughing hysterically in this shot
Inga and I made a spirited attempt but the park just
couldn’t handle its dose of water. Rides closed, sections remained deserted, it
was like walking through the town of Pripyat, that Soviet town that sidled up
to the Chernobyl nuclear reactor.

Eerie and desperately vacant we left the park with the
heaters in our car busting out as much warmth as it could muster to compensate
for the insolent behaviour of the weather and our stubborn yearning to make
things right.
Trying to be 'ard - just like Marky Mark use to be!

We’ll be back Disneyland, and next time we’ll be bringing
an Aiden Robert Elisher with us!
