Hello Again!
This time its from LA! Will have to be a quick update as the internet isnt free here which is a bit of a bummer! Also having trouble uploading pictures as well but will get them up at some point.
Had a good trip down here form San Fran. We took a greyhound bus through the night so just slept most of the way. They have a reputation of being a bit dodgy tho- apparently quite recently some guy in Canada beheaded another passenger on the bus using a machete! Nice hey! But we survived which is all that counts. Got in early in the morning and caught buses to our hostel. The hotsel we are staying quite out of the way as it was cheap but its pretty good. A big dorm again but all girls this time. They also give you loads of free stuff which is mad! You get free brekkie and dinner, 2 glasses of free champagne in the evening, free popcorn all day, free cakes!!! Lol. It isnt amazing stuff but is ok when ur just trying to live cheaply! They also have a heated pool so was nice to have a swim. We went in last night, only problem is that its freezing to get out of.
On our first day it was Super Bowl Sunday which is a big day for the Americans so they were doing a BBQ by the pool which was really yummy and again.......FREE! After that we headed down the Santa Monica Pier and walked along the beach to Venice Beach which was nice. Weather has been lovely here too. Very sunny and about 25 degrees. We managed to get lost on our way home unfortunately but got back here in the end!!
Today we headed into Hollywood and did a few of the sights. We went to Universal City and had luch there as a treat!! We ended up eating at Bubba Gumps which I was super excited about!! (I know Dad and Graham will be jealous! Dont worry we took lots of pics for you to see!!) Was very yummy too. Then we headed down to Hollywood Blvd to see the walk of fame and the Kodak theatre etc etc. Also saw the Hollywood sign of course. Was pretty far away tho! There was a premier happening this evening at the chinese theatre but we didnt want to wait around ages to see it as wasnt till 7pm tonight. Would have been a pretty good one too. It was the new one "he's just not that into you" with jennifer aniston, drew barrymore etc! LA has been good, it feels more america-ish than san fran, only trouble with LA is that it is quite hard to get around without a car. Also, you expect all the hollywood stuff to be really flashy and when you get there its a bit of an anti-climax to be honest! Have loved being able to see it all but 2/3 days is just enough!
Anyway thats just about all for now. Having to be quick as internet is running out and dont want to lose what i have done so far! Off to Fiji tomorrow which we are v excited about. Prob wont have internet for a while there as we are doing the remote islands but will update again asap.
Lots of love to you all, spk to you again soon......hopefully from Fiji!! xxxxx
