On Thursday we drove from San Simeon to Santa Barbara with a short stop at Slovang a tourism town with a danish theme. After settling into our room at the Monteceito Inn we heading for the centre of Santa Barbara. We had an interesting afternoon walking almost the full length of State Street (main street) and the wharf which is a continuation of this road and back again. This is a town that experienced a high level of building in the twenties and as a result has some beautiful architecture.
We enjoyed Vietnamese for dinner before heading back to our rooms in Monteceito - it was unfortunate that this motel is right on the freeway so we experienced a lot of road noise during the night how it was the occupants of the next room who kept us awake with their nocturnal activities if you know what I mean.
Today we headed off to Universal Studios. All though we had a slow start to the day with a very long wait for the Studio Tour the wait times on the other rides/displays etc were not bad and we had a great day. If I come again I would definitely go on the VIP tour. To finish our day with a movie theme, we had a variety of shrimp at Bubba Gump's before tackling the 6 lane freeway at night for our short half hour trip back to David and Claire's home in Pasadena.
