After careful deliberations , me and Moses decided to break our budget a wincy bit, and hop on a tour bus. Best decision ever. After all, we didn't buy honey and bread as a budget meal for nothing!
THE TOUR
We set off around 11am with 3 others, an Ozzie (Jess), a Frenchy (Julie) and this lovely Chinese dude called Michael. The tour guide was a German who had moved to LA. He was hilarious. Knew so much about Hollywood. He told us where all the stars hung out to hide from the paps. If I told you... I'd have to kill you... Hahaha! Only kidding. Apparently they like traditional, family businesses. Small coffee shops, pizza shacks, chocolate shops etc... One of Sylvester Stallone's favourite eat out spots was a steak house called 'BLT Steak'... Looked pretty swish.
We road around Beverly Hills and saw some crazy, crazy houses. So BIG. Because of how the state works, Beverly Hills has a completely different police force to the rest of Hollywood. The whole place just made me feel like a peasant from the squalor.
We saw some of the big star's homes. Apparently there are about 400 altogether, but we were blown away by the ones we did see.
- Michael Jackson
- Walt Disney
- Elvis
- Christina Aguilera
- Ringo Star
- Tom Hanks
- Mike Tyson
- Barbara Streisand
- Nicholas Cage (crap actor in my opinion)
- Johnny Depp
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- Elton John
Beach Time Fool
After that we drove to Santa Monica Bay to take some snaps. Lunch was next on the list, so we trailed off to Venice Beach. Fell in love with this place. They had the Muscle Beach (phore!!!), little cafes, bars, shops, basketball courts, the works! The basketball court along there was used in the film 'White men can't Jump', pretty cool, ehh?! We people watched whilst Moses got some chilli fries and I had the best Yogurt Ice cream thingy ever. Could've definitely stayed longer. They even had Weed Doctors!! (legal marijuana!)·
I won't bore you lot for much longer on this one... But it was $55 well spent... The only improvement would be to have stash of eggs and flour bombs in the tour bus for the celebrity cribs we didn't approve of.
