Day 12 - Las Vegas to Santa Monica - End of Route 66 - 290 miles

Todays song - California Dreaming

Set off from Vegas on our last leg of the route, first 200 miles on ridiculously straight roads through the desert done in 2.5 hours. Next 90 miles into LA, 6 hours 😳

The American grid system works up to a point, that point being when you put traffic lights on every junction you don't get anywhere 🤔

We called in Pasadena for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with our nod to the Big Bang Theory. Net was just hoping to see Sheldon really 😂

Finally arrived at Santa Monica and the official end of Route 66.

Went on to Santa Monica pier as there is another famous end of route sign there. Hit it on Saturday night and even though the weather was not great it was crazy busy.

Woke this morning to the sad news that a good friend had passed away at home. Once again it has made me realise how lucky we are. Life is too short 😢

RIP Ken you will be sadly missed.
