Los Angeles 10th August
Hard to realize, but it is four weeks since we came on board in Dover.  Quite veterans of the ship now and manage to get to where we want to go without backtracking very often.
In Los Angeles today so caught a taxi to Long Beach, visited the old Queen Mary, (as if we haven’t seen enough of the inside of a ship!).  Would have been a life of luxury for those who travelled in her years ago.  Don’t think however I would have liked to have been one of the 800,000 crammed into her during the period of WW11.  Sure their accommodation was nowhere near as comfortable as pre and post war sailings.
Russian submarine tour was optional extra, but we decided that it wasn’t for us.
Visited two of the USA’s institutions – Walmart and the big M.
