San Diego Day 1


SeaWorld dolphins

Mexican food and giant margaritas in Old Town

Today we got up very early to catch a train down from Anaheim station in LA to Old Town in San Diego. The train was very quiet, huge seats with lots of leg room foot rests - a real luxury train ride. It travelled a lot of the time down the coastline past beaches, and pretty seaside towns.
Once we got to San Diego in the late morning we had a quick nap then went to Seaworld for the afternoon until early evening. Seaworld is like an aquarium crossed with a theme park. We saw a couple of good shows, the first was a pet show with cats, dogs, birds and pigs doing clever tricks. The second show was a night time show next to a huge pool, featuring killer whales splashing everyone and jumping out of the water. We also went on a rollercoaster which had a big water drop - we thought we were going to get soaked but luckily only got a light splash!
After we got back to the hotel we travelled into 'Old Town' which is the original town settlers came to in San Diego - very rustic, lots of cobblestones and spanish styled buildings. We had dinner here and a few giant margaritas.
