We were lucky today that we had a nice slow morning before having to head off at around 1.15pm. We tied up our loose ends, giving tips to our favourite staff (a barman who had made us a lot of cocktails & a pool-slide attendant that was slack in his duties, which meant the kids could come down the slide however they liked !!) We also passed on our bottles of tequila as they were heavy & could not be taken on as hand luggage. The youngest children had their final dance performance at t...

Today we awoke to just another perfect LA day - not a cloud to be seen, and a forecast of around 27C. I'd hate to be a farmer here, as it never seems to rain. The Dads got up early and went to get our hire cars and we were off to Universal Studios after a quick brekky. The GPS was great to get us there with all the freeways going everywhere. The place was very quiet indeed, which was great for us. The waits for the rides were typically 5 minutes, with us walking straight onto most of them, ex...

Today we got up early so that we could get to our 9.00am Warner Brothers VIP Studio Tour. We were a bit spooked by the threat of the nasty traffic that LA is famous for, so we left at around 7.30 and used directions that Hel had mapped out looking at Google maps rather than using the GPS. Luckily we did as the silly cow in the GPS got all confused and even when we had arrived at Warner Bros she was still trying to send us back somewhere else !!
The tour went for around 2 hours and incl...
Today most had a bit of a sleep in as I took one of the 2 cars we had hired back to Avis, which was a short stroll on a foggy Satdee morning. After brekky we were all in readiness for our next adventure - a 4 hour tour of Hollywood & surrounding areas in a 1966 Red Open-top Cadillac.
Johnnie, our driver was excellent as he took us to many places & explained a whole lot about what we were seeing. In short we did :-
- A good look at Santa Monica & Venice Beach area (includ...

... a massive splash that saturated him from head to toe.<br><br>The day was a success as James had wanted to go on the Big Thunder Mountain when he was last there 1989 however never got the chance and Nicky has wanted to go since she can remember. Unfortunately we missed a photo with Mickey Mouse as we were a bit embarrassed to queue with very small children.

Santa Monica está situada a unos 10 km de Los Angeles, famosa por su pier y sobre todo por LOS VIGILANTES DE LA PLAYA. Mi primer baño en el Pacífico ha sido bastante excitante, ya que las corrientes y olas que habian han sido cañeras. Paseamos por su pier, donde una feria permanente y los espectáculos de los artistas callejeros, hacia que estubieramos en una película. Impresionantes vistas de la gran playa ...

... bus and this time tried to find Rodeo Drive... with ours eyes open! Again the bus driver shouted at us to jump off and we found ourselves right in the middle of Beverly Hills... and feeling very under dressed! (Combats, 'fiji-ed' tshirts and flipflops are not Beverly Hills attire!) After some window-shopping (Rodeo Drive does not accomodate the backpacker budget!) we jumped back on the bus back towards Santa Monica. We had seen the 'Avenue of the Stars' on the ...

I'm sure many people love LA. Go there, have great times, and leave with good memories. When I think of LA now, a total feeling of disdain washes over me and I can almost taste something bitter in my mouth. Its safe to say we didn't like it. It started bad and kind of went from there. We got the Greyhound Bus from Vegas to LA. Bad mistake. It was filled with every pimp, *****, and general bad person imaginable. The fact that ...

... sumptuous dinner at the legendary Musso & Frank's that I know best from the great Los Angeles crime novels of Michael Connolly featuring the hard-bitten homicide detective Hieronymus (Harry) Bosch. Andrew has a lot of good ideas to share with me and we have a lot of smiles talking about our pal Frenchy and how well his movie project was going. We had a nice joint on our way to Hollywood & Cahuenga and the Tom Morello night at the popular Hotel Caf ...

Bien sur, le jour de notre depart le soleil brille sur la ville qui tout a coup a l´air plus agreable, et plus ´comme dans les films et les series tele´... Prochaine etape Amerique du Sud ou on va passer nos trois prochains mois (on va essayer d´etre optimiste et de penser qu´il nous reste "encore" 3 mois et pas "plus que" 3 mois...). Bises a tous, bon courage avec la neige - c´est l´ete dans l´hemisphere sud! Annabelle & Antony
