Venice Beach Boardwalk Los Angeles

SANTA MONICA AND VENICE BEACH!

I stayed on 2nd Street at a hostel called HI (Hostelling International) This was a nice place however everyone kept to themselves ALOT! I didnt really have time to socialize with them as I was off doing day trips!

Walking Santa Monica to Venice Beach - Highly Recommend doing this - Its a nice walk …

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,

It was an early start today as we were up and out. We woke up at about 7 and got dressed. We walked down to Santa Monica Blvd which was really far away! On the way we got some McDonalds. When we got there we waited for a bus which we took to get to Santa Monica. We arrived in Santa Monica at about 10am and headed to Santa Monica …

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 …

Friday....driving o LA Today we were driving to Los Angeles, which should take 4-5 hours. We went to get their looking for an upgrade- this never happens us anyway, and this time it was no different! When we did see the car it was a massive Chervolt saloon car, a lot bigger than FiFi (car in Sydney), so we were happy that they didnt gie us …

So there I was flying into LA again...ahem..OK so the truth is I've traveled to LA quite a bit of times but this is the first time that I am attempting to write about it. I had previously thought that I had seen all there is to see but somehow, this trip was different. I'm not sure what it was but I suddenly found myself seeing things in a …

We have spent the last four days in LA, best described as a sunny, mixed bag. We first arrived on Wednesday and quickly gave in to jetlag, in the following days we have experienced the Metro system, went on a guided tour of Hollywood, saw a Lakers game, went to Venice and Santa Monica Beach and sunbathed next to our mini-motel pool.

We …

Colin: Na het hotel in San Clemente verlaten te hebben, vervolgde we onze tocht naar LA. The Pacific Coast Highway 1, een mooie weg, met om de 50 meter stoplichten. Om te voorkomen dat we aan het eind van de middag Venice Beach zouden bereiken, kozen we toch maar voor een (drukke) snelweg. Eerst even ergens wat gedronken en iets gegeten, en daarna …

First, just a quick update on the flights:
China Southern Air (No, I hadn't heard of it before either!)

Shared TVs playing what appeared to be playing Czech movies subtitled in Chinese and English.
Two seats to myself

China:
Two hour stopover in Guangzhao.
Couldn't …

Woke up at the crack of dawn to catch my flight to the US. Thinking it was an inernational flight I had to catch I gave myself plenty of time to get there knowing customs and immigration would take a while. After being told the my flight to Sydney was only domestic and that I could have slept in made me feel a little stupid …
