Venice Beach Los Angeles

Day started really late today... 9.30 we woke... And of course soon as we looked out the window the rain started. Back to bed.... Kids didn't want to move... So I cleaned up and did 2 loads of washing.... Made the kids egg muffins (no bacon, they have weird bacon) cornflakes with banana and strawberries.. And I think some peanut butter toast... …

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 einer hervorragenden Nacht mit Meeresrauschen machten wir uns auf den Weg ins Getümmel - Los Angeles, die mit knapp 18 Millionen Einwohnern zweitgrößte Stadt der USA - nach New York.

Wir kurvten vermutlich wieder als einziges Wohnmobil auf diesem Planeten durch den stark befahrenen Molloch bis tief hinein ins Herz (wohl eher das …

Unser heutiges Ziel war Anaheim, um dort das Konzert der irischen Band zu sehen. Natürlich nicht ohne ein paar Zwischenstopps. Die Fahrt führte auf dem Highway 101 Richtung Süden, auf welchem das Auto des öfteren an seine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 80 mph getrieben wurde. Der erste Stopp war für Malibu geplant. Aufgrund der hohen Parkgebühren (oft …

What to say about Los Angeles... it's not my city, but I already knew that from a previous experience, but it is the only way to go to the next destination (Flagstaff / Grand Canyon) by train, so thought I might as well give it another go.

Stayed in a hostel on Hollywood Boulevard for the first night, I arrived very late as the train was …

Het begon zo goed. Vanmorgen was ik er vroeg uit en ben ik een bank gaan zoeken om geld te pinnen en daarna op zoek naar een supermarkt voor een ontbijt. De bank bleek lastig. Mijn ING passen werken niet in winkels e.d. en dus moet ik geld pinnen bij een bank (waar ze wel werken). Maar die zijn niet dik gezaaid en door de uitbundige reclameborden …

The only way i can describe how good venice beach was, is to say that i missed my mates, and perhaps a little of my youth. WHAT A VIBE! Check out the clip …

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: …

A environ 20 kms du centre en voiture (possible aussi en transports en commun), voir Venice Beach, une des plus célèbres plages du monde, où vous côtoierez les gens les plus excentriques. Tout près de la plage, des canaux (d'où le nom de Venice) avec des habitations magnifiques. En haute saison on est obligés de se garer un peu loin …

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 …

... to get anywhere. It would suck to live down here. Big time. At least they have a/c in their vehicles. We spent a day at Venice beach watching the freakies, wandering around, and taking in street shows (ie a juggler on a high ladder and a group of ...

... 't seem to mind people using them to check email. A little further south along the beach from Santa Monica was Venice Beach. This is where the famous Muscle Beach is located, an outdoor gym where muscle men show off. Schwarzenegger had been spotted ...

... where celebs have been arrested. It was a very exciting, if a little sad, way to see the city. On Saturday 31st went to Venice Beach or as we now call it Camden by the sea. It was full of old hippies, market stalls and weirdos who'd obviously spent ...

... we would in The Cook Islands and we were sure the beach there would be nicer!! We got back in the car and headed down to Venice Beach which was much the same. We continued down Route 1 until eventually we hit the airport. We went to The POst Office and ...

... and gave the odd mumble back..just for the sake of it. The guy hopped out at the Liquor Store. Nothing special about Venice beach itself. The shops there are bohemian and there's a freak show which i could have entered after i bought $5 sun glasses ...

... singing I've ever heard in a church before, my contribution aside. After the service we drove down to Santa Monica Pier and Venice beach for a quick look albeit too quick for my liking as I wanted to wander around some more but Gary like almost every ...

... I really enjoyed it. The rest of our time in LA was relatively chilled - we got our own chauffeur to see Hollywood Boulevard, Venice Beach, Malibu and more.  We were also able to benefit from Rob's movie director status (aka student pass) and get a ...

... ).  Santa Monica Boulevard was interesting, but we decided to walk along the beach (it was really really wide) down to the Venice Beach area.  At the famous Muscle Beach there were heaps of buff guys all posing in the sun but the best part was ...

... I have stayed in up until now. The rooms were cleaned every day, regular tours were operated to Beverly Hills, the Hollywood sign, Venice Beach and plenty of other places. Everyone I spoke to was great, the bar was fantastic (you could even bring your ...

Jet lagged, we reluctantly dragged ourselves out of bed at 11.30. The previous evening we'd decided against doing a guided tour of Universal studios as we only have one day – we want to go out and see the city instead and hopefully spot Beckham. ...
