Lemon Grove to Bakersfield
We left The Plantation Inn after a stunning breakfast of sweet chilies in an omelet pie type of thing. Said goodbye to Scott and Marie and headed off to Bakersfield. We were only heading to Bakersfield so that we could get ready for the flight to Australia, wash and repack the bags. It would have been awesome to stay longer at the plantation inn and see more of the area around there but I felt that driving all the way to LA in one day would have been a bit much.
Min and I did some shopping in Bakersfield. and I have to say that without my iPhone we would have been lost a few times and never would have found the stores that we were looking for. We went to a Big 5 sports store and Min bought a nice pair of black runners. I was wandering around and discovered that sports stores sell guns. Not just any guns either but Automatic rifles and pump action shotguns as well as hand guns.
We then went to Action Sports Store, they didn’t sell guns but they did sell bikes very nice bikes. I wanted to buy at least 3 but, you know transporting them back to Oz would have been a little hard (let’s not talk about the price either). I ended up buying a long sleeve thermal base layer made from silk and merino wool. Also in the carpark outside Action Sports we saw a Humvee or Hummer H1 which is a stupidly sized 'car' that was never really sold in Oz. We only get the baby siblings the Hummer H2 and H3 here in Australia.
We also stopped at a Wal Mart, as Min wanted to show me how big they were. They are sort of like a Big W and Woolies rolled into one, only 10 times the size, and they sell Guns.
One bonus of the trip was that we got to eat at a Denny’s Diner again. I ordered a pan fried dish and the meat was so awesome. Really tender and only $5.50 how can they sell food that cheep, it’s just ridicules. Min got something from the $4 value menu then with a milkshake for me and a drink for Min the total bill came to about $12 Crazy.
We did laundry then went to the hotel and repacked our bags ready for the next day and the final drive to LA.
