Day 8:San Diego, Ocean Beach and Bali Hai

Checked out the hotel and the rest of Shelter Island, on to the Crowne Plaza for a quick look around before heading to Ocean Beach for some shopping. Met Matt "Tikiman" at his booth in The Antique Mall on Newport Ave. Scored some great old Bali Hai chopsticks an early Tiki Farm shot glass. Awesome guy, great to talk to. He said most of the artifacts at False Idol are from him. He also has another shop near the sports stadium. Back to the hotel and a walk across the traffic circle to the Bali Hai. Another classic place with good food, drinks and their own over the top Mai Tai. Great location and views. Had a great night going through a lot of the menu, talking with fellow bar dwellers, not so much about tiki, more of a local institution.
