Whales and Dolphins - San Diego, La Jolla and Del Mar

...On Sunday evening we arrived after our beach hopping day in Los Angeles via Venice, Santa Monica and Malibu Beach in San Diego. The area around Malibu is awesome and I can now understand why so many VIP's have their villas there...

Anyway, we drove in the evening to San Diego what is also a very nice city. It's directly on the boarder to Mexico which we did not cross. Our rental agreement prohibited this trip otherwise we would have gone to Tijuana.

1) La Jolla
This spot is a bit outside of San Diego and is a really nice village. There we went to children's pool to see the seals and afterwards we drove around in the village and up to a mountain were we had a 360 degree view over all the area. We also got a tour through Peter Lik Art Photography gallery which was very nice. One day, when I earn more money I will buy one of these pictures. You should check out the website...
2) San Diego
It is also a very nice city with already a really Mexican atmosphere - you can feel that you are pretty close to the boarder. On the second day we made a Whale, Dolphin and Sea lion's watching trip which was very impressive. We saw many Dolphins, Sea lion's and also some Grey Whales. They pictures are not very good, but I took some nice movies, but the reality was much better.
3) Del Mar
After visiting San Diego we also made a stop at the famous Del Mar. There is a great beach which should be one of the most beautiful in California - and it was awesome! We walked through the town and had dinner in a very nice Surfer bar ;)
Currently we are in Newport Beach - many of you will know it from O.C California. We will visit the spots here tomorrow morning and are afterwards heading up North to Santa Barbara.
