The longer I am staying at the Point Loma hostel in San Diego, the more I like it. Compared to the USA Hostel in Hollywood it just feels more like a home. Hollywood felt like a factory. People were in and out. New faces everyday, stressed people, sightseeing tourists. Here you have families, travellers of all ages, backpackers and people on vacation.
At breakfast I met Monia, a Persian-Canadian from Quebec. I made eggs and bacon and we talked about my upcoming diving class. After sitting outside and chatting to her for a while I met up with my Indian roommate to run some errands and made my way to the dive shop on my bike.
By now I kind of have the hour-long bike ride figured out without getting completely lost, and I got to really enjoy the areas I was going through. Somehow I have gotten so used to American streets, driveways and houses. It’s going to feel so different to be back in Germany driving through well-known streets on my Vespa…
When I got to the dive shop I got my equipment fitted by a really friendly girl who had the kind of charisma that a lot of people working in diving have. It’s such a cool place to work and you can tell that these people really love their jobs! I am now fully equipped, with a snorkel, mask, fins, a wetsuit with a hood, boots, a flashlight and a compass! Another thing I will be carrying with me is going to be my GoPro on a monopod, to get the most amazing diving videos/photos.
On my way back from the diving school I decided to take a little bit of a detour and ride along the coast line with frequent stops wherever I though would be worth sitting down for a while and enjoy views, sun and atmosphere of this awesome place! I can really relax here and it’s perfect as the final stop on my trip. This way I get to have a nice stressless ending to a trip full of excitement and adventure. Diving on the weekend is going to be great. After two years of not diving it is now finally coming true for me again!

What a great way to see the city!! I love biking around town. The diving trips sound amazing. Can’t wait to see the photos.
Did you go to the USS Midway? Fabulous museum.
