Today was the best! We went to Universal Studios, it was fab especially the back lot tour but I think taking dad on 'The Mummy' rollercoaster may have been a mistake! Mind you I was more scared by a sphinx after the ride! We were all totally cream crackered! After a 3 hour drive to San Diego, we just about stayed awake for dinner at Denny's before collapsing into bed at 9 pm!

After the Hollywood Bowl, we went to the Chinese theatre, here we had our picture taken with Marilyn Monroe and searched for our favourites amongst the stars! Mine was Michael Jackson of course! Allan couldn't get over how tiny John Wayne's feet were!

Leaving the Chinese Theatre, we passed the hotel where John Belushi died and then the hotel where Pretty Woman was filmed. It was then on to Beverly Hills. Sadly we didn't see Posh and Becks! After Rodeo Drive we had lunch at the Farmers Market, we all had something different, it was like dining at the world restaurant! A beer or two was also had!

We finished the day with a bus trip to Santa Monica which was quite an experience! On the first bus we had the friendliest bus driver ever, shame that can't be said for the second who was a tad grumpy! We walked along the pier and then had a lovely meal in am Italian restaurant, served by an Argentinian, no there was no chance that he spat on the soup! We finished off with a beer in the penthouse bar listening to some jazz, not my cup of tea but the singer, Mi...

Having just arrived in LA, we spent some time on that car park known as Sunset Boulevard, we headed straight for the penthouse bar even though we were knackered as it was past midnight, our time! As they say a picture is worth a thousand words!
