We ended our one day of sightseeing around Los Angeles at Santa Monica Pier. It was the perfect spot to watch the sun set and transform into different shades of pinks and purples… it does distract you a little from the windy, freezing cold temperatures we were standing in.

What will you find there? Several restaurants, souvenir shops, carts selling souvenirs or nibbles and one of the icons of the area is the world famous theme park on a pier, Pacific Park (which was oddly quiet when we went by…).

What a dramatic end to sunset hour

I won’t forget the moment when we were just pulling into the car park at Santa Monica Pier, Alfred exclaims, “I’ve remember this car park!”. -Me with looking confused- “…. I did burnouts here”. Then I realised he was most likely referring to a game of sorts… yep GTA. Ah boys.
