Dec 2006

After experiencing a long ride on the American Public Transport system (an experience in itself) we arrived at Venice Beach. We strolled up and down the boardwalk and had a casual lunch at the sidewalk Cafe. We then checked out Muscle beach and then made the long journey back to our hostel. For tea we went to Disney's Soda Fountain where we had hotdogs and shared a bananna sunday (yummy!). We then walked back to our hostel down the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Today we slept in to try and recover from our jet lag. We checked out the Hollywood Farmers Market which was interesting but more of a local affair. We walked back along the Hollywood Walk of fame and pigged out on a huge American Hamburger! YUM! After lunch we bargained our way into a tour of Los Angeles and the sites of Hollywood in a Limo!! Way to go in style! The tour included star's homes, sunset strip, Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive. In the afternoon we took pictures of the Hollywood sign (the lookout was only a few minutes walk from our hostel).
