Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles

Mandag var en rigtig turistdag. Vores hotel lå lige ved foden af Hollywood Hills og dermed kun få minutters kørsel fra Univseral Studios. Det udnyttede vi til at besøge det berømte område fra dagens start. Det var alt for varmt med 36-37 grader og høj sol, men ikke desto mindre var vi i parken i næsten 7 …

HOLLYWOOD. HOLLYWOOD.

So much to see and so little time I had here. I had 3 nights here and I couldnt see everything I wanted too.

Honestly I was a little saddened by Hollywood - my expectations where a little high on the place being very clean. There where alot of homeless people around and the streets werent not what you see …

Well according to this blog i am still in Canada and that is most definitely not the case! So much has happened since then that I will struggle to remember it all.. Fortunately i wrote a little bit during the first week of my adventure into the States so here it is!
While it was extremely sad to leave the beautiful mountains of Canada with the …

Saturday 9/1/12:

Firstly, we had an interesting 14 hour direct flight from Sydney International Airport to LAX. After listening to our neighbour's entire life story we were not sure how we'd fare upon arrival at Los Angeles. 'Deloris' as we named her (the only thing she didn't tell us was her name) was a crazy red headed Art Teacher from …

Nach (mal wieder) einer kurzen Nacht brachten wir unseren Mietwagen in einer 2 Stunden-Tour zum Flughafen um im Anschluss unser Sightseeingprogramm zu beginnen. Mit der Metro gings nach Hollywood, wo glücklicherweise auch gleich der Walk of Fame begann. Nach gefühlt 3 gesehenen Sternen von Walt Disney (wir liefen nicht im Kreis da Bettina die Fü …

We were us early to catch the train to Hollywood. Incredibly busy place as we walked down "The Walk of Fame". Kids more interested in the entertainment and finding the Hollywood sign than seeing the stars on the footpath. After a couple of hours taking all of it in we caught an EXPRESS (1 half hrs) bus to Santa Monica Beach. We drove through …

Hi Guys,

Today was Sunday! We all woke up late at about 9am and our tour started at 11:30! We got up and went down to Cafe 101 to have breakfast! I had a hot cocoa with had so much whipped cream on it it made me feel sick! I also had this fresh fruit parfait which was disgusting! We then came up and collected our cameras and phones and set …

Lots to report on ! Thai soon arrived and we hit the road. We picked up two others, Kyra and Ralph. Kyra lives near Larkspur but goes to College in La and makes the commute at the beginning and end of each week. Ralph on the other hand lives in Orange County. Anyway: we set off. After a long drive we arrived at a place just outside LA, Camarillo: …

Vous trouvez là le Walk of fame (les étoiles sur le trottoir), et un certain nombre d'attractions liées au monde du cinéma. Les explications détaillées sont dans tous les bons guides. On se fait accoster sans arrêt, à la longue c'est un peu pénible... Y venir absolument en métro …

The Hawkins Family caravan headed to Hollywood for our first evening in California - the land of movie stars... Yeah, we saw plenty of movie stars; unfortunately they were all costumed impostors walking down Hollywood Blvd. The traffic from Anaheim to Hollywood north of downtown was just as bad as advertised - it looked like 5pm traffic back in …

After our last long bus journey of our travels we arrived into Hollywood on Tuesday at 5pm. Our hostel is on Hollywood Boulevard, not far from the Greyhound Bus station. Luckily they had a cancellation so we got our own room instead of a dorm. We walked ...

... she's got a sixth sense for knowing when I get in trouble... all too often! I spent the first day walking along Hollywood Boulevard (a 2 second walk from the hotel) and taking a tour of the movie stars homes trying to catch a glimpse of someone ...

... the remake of the Nutty Professor... the guy with the farting problem.  Anyway, from there we headed for a driving tour of Hollywood Boulevard and the Sunset strip.  We saw the Walk of Fame and the Grauman's Chinese Theatre as well as quite a few ...

... but Clint Eastwood's feet were much bigger(Margi). WEnt to look at Hollywood sign on hill and marvelled at what a dump Hollywood boulevard is-full of tacky souvenir shops and lots of stilletto shoe shops bizarrely- in sizes 4-17 (caters for everyone). ...
