Where?
Ooh! That one looks nice...
Actually - this one will do ...Early up & head off to Santa Monica - just 20 minutes away. I think the people of LA are very lucky as the beach is so close and also there are lovely, leafy places like Santa Monica.
Filmed at Le Merigot which overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The GM - Paul Hortobagyi - was born near Budapest and once worked in a circus as an acrobatic! What a fantastic life he has led ... and now he runs this lovely 175 room property by the beach.
In the afternoon, we drove 60 miles to San Bernadino - to the California Speedway - home of NASCAR. Today, the track was playing host to Supercar Life. Basically, the company has currently 12 (soon to be 18) of the most fantastic production road cars in the world and they let people run wild with them! There are lessons on braking, under & over steer and then you go crazy in Ferraris, Lambourghinis, Aston Martins, Mercedes and Porsches ... My tutor Dag Grala, took me round the course a few times at great speed (upto 180 mph) in a 911 before letting me loose. I went crazy too ... high-speed ... much adrenalin & hormones were spent! Erm - it was awesome!!!!!!!! It was a crazy-good afternoon.
Back in the hotel to munch on a totally brilliant chicken Caesar ... I will sleep well tonight!
