Just for the record, the weather today is... unbelievably un-Dutch-like and scorchingly hot!
Song of the day: Phantom Planet - California (what else?!)
We're here, we've already found the queer neighbourhood and we love it!
As some of you noticed, we started off our trip by having breakfast. Thanks again Geraldine for taking care of us and making sure we made it on the plane with a full stomach. I may actually miss it a little bit... but probably not. Haha.
So we hopped on a plane taking us to Heathrow Terminal 5 and let us just say... we were very very impressed! It's massive and beautiful and very Jetsons. Even taking our shoes off didn't kill the mood. Anf they have a Tiffany's... in the airport. Quite fabulous! Although, obviously, we didn't shop there and went to Accessorize instead to spend some good old pounds.
The journey from London to LA took us a total of 10 hours and 10 minutes, excluding the wait on the plane, the trip down the runway, another wait once we'd landed because another plane actually stole our gate (guess the crime levels really are up!) and embarking the plane. So that brings the total to about 87939 hours instead. But we were not to be driven off course and went straight to the car rental place, where we spent another 87939 hours to get them to give us a car. But we've got one now, a white PT Cruiser convertible nonetheless, and life is quite good.
After we drove down the 405 and Santa Monica Blvd to Merete & Dustin's place, not taking one wrong turn (don't even pretend you're not surprised), we dumped our things and decided to wander round the neighbourhood to keep us from falling asleep on the sofa. Little did we know what we'd bump into in this so called neighbourhood of theirs. The Roxy and Viper Room and literally around the corner, as in around the corner Europe style, not LA style, we can walk it. Millions of cool shops, coffee places and restaurants, which we will all be checking out today. Well, after we get up from lying by the pool, that is. Oh, right, we hadn't mentioned that yet, had we? There is a pool outside our backdoor. And it's calling us. So this is the end of update no 1.
We'll be back soon with pictures!
You know you love us! xoxo
