well, yesterday we went to Santa Monica...very beautiful...i would live there definately if i ever lived here. we really want to try and get to Malibu beach at some point today or tomorrow..not sure just cos we keep hearing how beautiful it is...we have some british friends who have hired a car so we might go with them tomorrow to see Griffith National Park which apparently is amazing and gives you great views of the Hollywood sign...when we went to Santa Monica yetserday we had a look in all the shops and everything is soooo cheap...girls you'll understand these prices...for a pair of good brand heels instead of being $150 in australia you'll pay about $25 here. gorgeous leather boots for $59!! omg its toooo bad i didnt leave room in my budget for shopping lol...theres a shop over here called Pink Berry and we go there every single day and australia is seriously missing out! they have different flavours of this natural soft serve yoghurt and then you put whatever toppings you want on top like mango pieces, strawberrys, and my favourite pommegranites, or coconut and for a small which is about the size of a small bowl youd have at home its just over $3..its the BEST!!!
