Hey Y'All!!
We are in Hollywood!!! In Los Angeles - very crazy place!! Flight out of Fiji was ok, bit bumpy over the Pacific which was slightly scary but nevertheless we made it. We had the longest day in the world yesterday as we crossed the date line and it ended up being 46 hours long!! Still after landing in LA we got a bus to Hollywood Boulevard which is where we're staying. We are literally next door to the Kodak Theatre (where the oscars are held) also where all the stars have their handprints and feet!!
Our hostel is like something out of a horror movie, it looks really old and has the squeakiest doors and floorboards. Its always dark inside and freezing cold at night. Its actually an old Hollywood Mansion and could be really nice if done up - but at the mo just plain scary!! Oh well cheapest place in LA so we can't complain too much!!
Yesterday we went for a walk up the Boulevard and it was weird, there was a guy trying to read your palm on the street, loads of people trying to sell you their music (one bloke reckoned he was going to be on MTV that night??) and people dressed up as various film stars. We went for an all American dinner at McDonalds, then decided to catch a movie at the Chinese theatre (where the film premieres happen), we watched Casino Royale (James Bond) wicked film - great cinema!!
Today we took a tour of LA. Being as we're in tinseltown what better way to see the way the stars live than in a limo??? A stretch one at that!! We looked very flash indeed!!! So we set off along Sunset boulevard, through Beverley Hills, Bel Air ending up on Rodeo Drive. We saw Paris Hilton, Robbie Williams, David Schwimmer, Halle Berry, Jack Nicholson, Nicholas Cage, Jackie Chan, Tom & Kate Cruise, The Osbournes and Janet Jackson. (Their houses that is - I bet your having a heart attach reading this Nicola!!) They all had well flash cars like the new McLaren Mercedes SLR, Bentleys, Ferraris, Rolls-Royces etc one guy even had about 15 Ferraris on his driveway!!! After seeing their huge houses we hit Rodeo Drive Baby!! Went into the Beverley Wiltshire (where Pretty Woman is set) very exciting and posh Loo's!! Speaking of toilets we even got shown where George Michael was arrested for doing dodgy things to himself!!
We've just booked ourselves a return flight to Vegas - we're going on Sunday and staying in the Stratosphere for two nights!! Very exciting and we got it all for $250!! How good is that - we're very much looking forward to hitting the Casinos and winning back all the money we've spent!!
We've got to go as we're off to a posho restaurant to do a bit more star spotting! Will keep you posted.
Love
Lou & Dave xxxxx
