Thompson Beverly Hills

... t half believe it when you play. And you sweat.

Taking the bits of bike out of the bag, I took off the various padded envelopes, plastic bags, and socks that had been used for padding and reassambled it. Coming to the back wheel there was a familiar chinking sound of a broken spoke. Damn! Should have put some socks round the wheels. My mate took me down to the local bike shop after he got home from work, and the wheel was left for ...

... stumbled across several beaches with hundreds of Elephant Seals in residence. These fellas were once (as allot of species have been around here, we've heard) hunted to near extinction, but with plenty of care the population has recovered and is once again strong - ugly bleeders though!! - but good to see. We crack on and unlike every other car decide Hearst Castle doesn't need exploring, plus its getting on and we still have miles to go as we want to reach LA tonight ...

I'm writing this whilst Lyn is driving on highway 101, which is the coastal route up north. It's beautiful, I can't imagine how the Big Sur will be better than this. The scenery out of the window is lovely now. Theres no sign of the highrises etc of LA, it's all green rolling hills. We've had a fab day so far. We went and had another buffet breakfast, and were on our way by 9am. We headed back towards LA, and up into Beverly Hills.. Call me sad, but I couldn't ...

... stretch outside in the nude? The photo shoot was quickly over when Dick shouted, "Good morning, guys!" A delicious breakfast and three cups of coffee later, we were headed out to Hollywood. Wilshire Boulevard has always confused me, so I think it took us twice as long to get there. We had two goals for Hollywood: Chris Farley's star, and purchasing obnoxiously-cheap retro clothing for Renee. I ...

... out the Boardwalk which is a big amusement park right beside the beach, and also got to go to a midnight showing of The Goonies which was brilliant as we had seen all of the locations in Astoria! Chunk even turned up at the start to give out prizes to the mega-Goonies fans (of which there were a few - very strange people!) The next day we continued along the coast and saw more than a few surfers along the way. Santa Cruz is ...

... a fifty foot drop at the end. The other ride was a ride only me and samantha enjoyed which was a ride called the mummy returns based on the movie. Its a High speed rollercoaster which goes 100 mph, backwards and sudden stops and speed ups. If you have watched the movie you will know about Scarab Beetles which eat their way into your skin and up to the head, and. the Roller ...

... Apperently she had cried before...many times (be that on the phone, at work or driving). So as I was feeling a little flustered cause I didn't want to miss my flight I was wanting to get places quickly...maybe a little too quickly. To land in the States i had to fill out this form with all my info and what-not. The first time, it was the wrong card but I had already given back the pen that I had borrowed to the Air Canada lady. Apprently green sheets of ...

... by the size of LAX. It w*s the biggest *irport I'd been *t since dep*rting from He*throw. And there w*s * long old queue for us foreigners to get through immigr*tion. Some C*n*di*ns behind me even got invited to their own m*de-up line for processing. So there were three c*tegories for p*ssport checking - Americ*n (5 minute w*it), C*n*di*n (2 minute w*it) *nd the Rest of the World (h*lf hour w*it). Well, wh*t c*n I s*y? My welcome to LA w*sn't quite *s ...

... Flatiron Building and the bridges perfectly. After that, we headed to the site of the World Trade Center (or Ground Zero as some like to call it). It's now completed cemented over and you can't see anything. We went across the street to Century 21 to shop, which I introduced to Edward as my favorite place in the world. Edward and I split up for half an hour of solitary shopping. I was expecting him to not have bought ...
