Arrived via Virgin Atlantic here in LA on Monday Sept 1st. Staying with Joan , Graham, Imogen (Guy's Goddaughter) & her brother Finlay in their lovely house in Manhattan Beach, LA.
Sunshine & blue skies, on the beach, cycled along the coast on a tandem for 13 miles to Venice Beach past amazing houses, oil refinery, LAX & huge RVs & endless wide sandy beaches.
Played with the kids, found big Grapefruit on the tree in the garden, been impressed by the Getty Centre - stunning building, but views limited by smog/haze! Done our first LA freeway drive - survived! Off to Hollywood today & then inland to the deserts to one of the hottest places on Earth, Death valley
