Mr Skeng
I'm a London boy visiting the states for the fist time. What shall I do when I'm in San Diego?
Answer
Welcome to San Diego.
It's one of the nicest cities in the country. It's a major tourist destination and they know how to treat visitors right.
Mission and Pacific Beach are your best bet for fun in the sun. Belmont Park has a vintage wooden roller coaster (one of two remaining seaside coasters on the west coast) as well as other rides. There is a boardwalk that runs the entire 3 mile length of both beaches. It's a great place to rent a bike or skates.

Some must see attractions are the world famous Zoo, Sea World, and Balboa Park. Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the country. You can get a park passport which allows you entry to a dozen museums as well as the zoo.

My favorite museum in the park is the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. It has some of the largest model layouts in the world. It is really awesome and a real hidden gem. Kids get in free.

North County San Diego is home to the Zoo's Wild Animal Park. There are multi acre enclosures where herds of wild animals roam plus lots of hiking trails.

The Quail Botanical Gardens are in Encinitas

La Jolla offers great views, great surfing, great food, and great shopping.
Check out the surfers at historic Windansea Beach. At low tide you can walk out onto the tide pools. Walk along the Cove and check out the caves. Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. Take a stroll on Prospect St and check out the shops, galleries, and have some authentic Mexican food at Alfonso's. Then head to the Birch Aquarium at The Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It has a spectacular view of the bluffs over the Pacific Ocean.

Take the trolley from Downtown to Old Town. There is a state park there that recreates life in the Mexican and early American periods of 1821 to 1872. There are also a lot of restaurants in the area. Pizza Bella has the best pizza in town as well as homemade Italian food.

The Old Point Loma Lighthouse at the Cabrillo National Monument offers great views of the downtown skyline, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. On a clear day you can see all the way to Mexico.

Planning a free day around London?
gjgfojgog
I want to take my boyfriend around London, he hasn't really been before. All i have planned is to walk down southbank, walk until we get to trafalgar square and then i don't know what to do after that would interest him. he's not really a cultural person more of a uninterested in anything person.
Answer
If he's not really interested in much, maybe it's time to try to find something that excites him...?
Have you thought about:
- being a kid again and rolling down the hills in Richmond or Greenwich Park? Flying a kite?
- walking around the markets? (Camden; Greenwich; Borough; Pentoville Road; Roman Road; Covent Garden)
- journeying over to a number of the museums and galleries? (Natural History; Science; National Portrait Gallery)
- getting a read in the British Library
- hiring a bike (reasonable cheap) and cycling around the side streets to see the independent shops and stuff that don't normally get seen by tourists?
- looking at the grafitti tunnel by Waterloo station?
- taking part in a Japanese karaoke bar?
