It was on the Los Angeles leg of our five-week road trip across the USA that we had perhaps the most (and only) terrifying granny experience. We had a run-in with Skid Row - an apocalyptic portion of LA - 50 blocks of homeless people living in tents, and we’d decided it was a good idea to just ‘nip through’. It didn’t seem so big on the map, Iska had pointed out. It was.
Ironically, two homeless grandmas, aggressively shoving shopping trolleys towards us, began to chase us down the street. ‘I’m gon’ get me a new bag,’ they cackled. We were the only people stupid enough to have walked down there. They meant our bags.
