Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills

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 3 Tagen konnten wir uns endlich ein paar Stunden Schlaf gönnen. Dennoch standen wir um 7.30 Uhr auf (hat mit Urlaub ja nicht viel zu tun), hatten ein Frühstück im Freien und machten uns auf den Weg zum Chinese Theatre.

Es war mal wieder Hop on / Hop off time, dieses Mal in Hollywood. So sind wir in 2 Stunden gefühlt durch ganz L.A. …

Did all the touristy things you gotta do in Hollywood. Walked the blvd went to see the sign, went to the Chinese Theatre, shopped! Was fun …

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 …

Summer in Santa Monica!

First ever entry for our travel blog... We hope that we can provide some useful information for likeminded travellers, a bit of an update for our friends and family and at the very least - some light entertainment!

Touchdown in LAX - The last four days spent in L.A (our short transit stop) has been a …

My flight over to LA took just over 10 hours, can't say I was fed too well and the entertainment system was old school – I guess I’ve just been spoilt! The seat next to me was free so I had extra space and slept for most of the flight. For a change I was in front of the wing on the flight just behind business class, never managed to get …

This morning we went on a 4 hour bus tour on which we saw Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Sign and Beverly Hills. Our tour guide was a weird old guy who looked like the Godfather …

Woke up at 3am today and couldn't get back to sleep... jet lag I suppose!

Today we decided to do a Starline Tours Hop-On/Hop-Off tour - it's a bus that takes you around LA, and you can get on and off as you please. We had commentary on the sights as we went past. We started in Hollywood/Highland, at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

…

Today we went back to the Hollywood area to see the Hollywood sign. You can really only see it from a bridge in Hollywood/Highland next to the Kodak Theatre. It was far away and small but we got photos. There were lots of Asian tourists around. On the platform where you could see the Hollywood sign, there was a lounge/couch made of stone that you …
