Day 100 San Diego, USA

Quite a busy day today and it doesnt seem too hot so you can spend all day out rather than avoiding the sun around 2pm.
We walked down to the Seaport Village which is nice and peaceful and has a few shops by the sea and then found a small restaurant to have some lunch.I never realised San Diego had such a huge navy base and theres numerous amounts of ships that are docked and made here and this is where the marines come to train.
After a short walk around we decided to go on a 2 hour boat tour where we got to have an even closer look at the navy aircraft carriers and smaller ships.
The sun didnt seem that hot while we were on the boat trip but what i did forget about was how bad the wind can be while your out and after the 2 hours my face and head was glowing a rather dark shade of red.That will teach me to forget my hat and suntan lotion.
Once off the boat we jumped on a tram and headed off to Old Town for an hour where there are a few small shops and restaurants which give you the feeling you really are in an old town and cut off from the usual city life where theres numerous office buildings and skyscrapers.The houses on the hills here also have a fantastic view across town and it looks a lovely place to live.
