San Diego - The Review

So we have spent almost exactly two weeks in San Diego. In that time we have been to the beach at Coronado,  seen the Hotel Del Coronado and eaten in one of its luxury restaurants. We toured the huge U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier. We visited Loma Point, where Cabrillo first landed and where the lighthouse is, we also stood and watched whales swim past. We visited the Presidio Park and gigantic Balboa Park. We saw the Historic State Park and the Gaslight area. The highlight has undoubtedly been our sail out to sea on board America to go and watch whales.
We have really enjoyed our time here in San Diego, it has been quite warm for January, though the nights were still cool and it did rain on two days. It seems quite a cheerful place I think though that we found it to be one of the noisiest cities we have been in. The busy airport is right in the centre of the city, there are several military bases and helicopters are constantly buzzing around. There is a comprehensive Freeway network, which means that you are never more than a couple of miles from a motorway, good, but also noisy.
We are now ready to move up the coast a little way, we are stopping over at Oceanside before embarking on our cruise from Long Beach.
