HEY BOYS AND GIRLS! Did you miss us?!
Apologies for the late updates... Seems so long ago we spent our last day in the polluted film bucket, Hollywood...
So here we go!! Buckle in tight!! Quick, whizz of a blog... Because to be quite frank, I've got much better things to tap about...
After our massive failure of a 'second to last day'... Hopping about dodgy neighbourhoods and dusty, berry roads, with nothing but a couple of weird clothes shops and a pretty good ice cream joint... We decided to have a chilled one... something nice and relaxed... Finishing off a couple of last minute bits.
We headed off to Hollywood. By George! These L.A bus drivers sure don't mind cramming the b*****s in!! Me and Mo were sat next to strangers... The guy I was sitting next to kept me fully entertained for the duration of the journey.
He was The Black Rapunzel of Hollywood.
I did take a few strikes to the face with his massive, firm dreadlocks... And if it wasn't for his outrageously funny laugh/giggle/squirt??!... I would've been tempted to wrap those locks right round his neck... But his amplified phone conversation and weird ways had me creasin'... So I was helpless. That may be the best story I've ever told... Maybe I'll tell you it again sometime.
Moving on... We had a browse and hung out there for a bit... Taking one last look at all the crackheads, burnouts and chubby Djangos waltzing around the strip. We then headed back to the Hostel... Made sure we had all our belongings packed like good children... And invited our Italian friend, Guessepi to join us for a Gumbo feast before flying out.
Whilst at the hostel... Moses (the absolute genius) managed to get a picture of our 'Dorm Friend' ... The 'familiar looking' chappy I was previously telling you about... I think it's 'UBER' creepy... Haha... Apologies for that... Couldn't resist the pompous quote... Tell us what you think...
There were some right cranky, numbskulls staying in our hostel... For example; there was this lady who reminded me of Calypso from 'Pirates of the Caribbean'... Who LITERALLY, no word of a lie... giggled her way through life. Every person who tried to have a normal conversation with her, had to battle through this thick, wall of 'crack giggles'... Even when she was getting a f***ing cookie out the vending machine... Giggles. SHE WAS ILL... VERY ILL. I like giggles... I like laughing...But this woman gave 'Giggles' another meaning... She's put me right off giggling.
The shuttle was booked for 7.30pm. That was the only time we could get. Either that or get stitched up big time by the taxi drivers for the airport transfer. This meant we had a total time of 40mins, to get our arses into that Gumbo Pot, eat, run back and get picked up by the shuttle. The Gumbo was worth it... So me, Mo and our Italian, Guessepi, power walked to THE GUMBO POT... Like the Three Musketeers.
We sure were not disappointed. Gater Gumbo is the nuts I tell ya.
We even had time to share our last pressies... Moses opened up his. L.A bottle opener (obviously)... And as promised (Hannah Cogger :D ) ... I also treated Moses to a lovely hat... Which he loves so much... And has promised me he'd wear it everyday in New Zealand :)
Isn't that right Moses?? :)
Haha... But those measly gifts have nothing on what Moses conjured up.... He spent his money wisely. Remember, he bought me the fancy L.A snapback and the flavoured bugs... My last gift gave me the chills...
He'd only gone and found me a Jack Sparrow look-a-like! It doesn't end there... The Jack Sparrow wannabe sent me a video message... He got all handsy! (Ay??!) ... And sent me a message:
"Allo E'va, ooo arrgghhh!... I love you matey, keep travelling... And keep dancing!"
This video cracked me right up. BEST GIFT EVER. Thank you Moses, you prat!!
Quote of the Day
Guessepi to me and Moses (I'm sure you can work out who he is referring to)...
"You are so weird... But it's good! You should stay like that! And you! You are so quiet. But I like it, it's nice."
