Well this is my very first entry into my blog so please forgive me if you get bored or my spelling is crap - tough - lol!
Right where to start hhmmm...we all you can probably gather we have arrived safetly to our destination 'USA Hostel' in LA. No delays to report on the journey down - all trains & planes on time (what a change there then!!). Arrive in LAX around 7ish on Monday, waited ages to go through customs (I personally think it's gone a bit doolally, after a long days travelling all you want to do is go to your destination, have a beer & sleep to get rid of some of the jet lag!!). The Hostel is fab, granted not a 5 star hotel but it has a bed for me to sleep in, pretty clean & the staff are very friendly. I'm booked into an all female dorm of six (check this out - 5 germans & 1 Swiss - none of them spoke a bloody word of English)..took a quick shower & headed down to the bar. Lee was already gassing when I got there to a couple of Oz's. Got talking to a group of guys from Australia & England. Played some weird card drinking game thingy. Believe me wasn't impressed, the game was s***e!! got quite drunk & went to bed around 4:30am on the Tuesday morning. Sooooo not good, was shattered the next day as woke up at 7:30am.
Tuesday we took a bus sightseeing tour of LA. Went through Beverly Hills - Rodeo Drive - Tar Pits, loads of other places that I can't think of at the moment (I have pics though!!). Did a bit of shopping at the Farmers Market (OMG - Abercrombie & Finch..This is any girls wet dream lol! walked in & there is this model guy with just a pair of jeans on. Me & Lee where gobsmacked. The game of Bingo had begon lol!). The farmers Market had so much to offer, but needed more time really. Went into a weird 'American Girl' store, the dolls are scary!! Only in America can you have a museum of dolls!!
Wednesday we went on a tour of the Hills & Hollywood Bowl - amazing. Again drank at the bar & again met a load of really cool people (majority oz's), went clubbing in a very exclusive nightclub called 'Opera' which is situated right next to our hosel!! go figure...$20 to get in & $8 a pint!! we though we saw Heidi from 'The Hills' which would of being my first celebrity spotting...yeah not as yet, just plenty of wanna be's..It closed at 2:00am & I was not happy lol! got a hotdog from an outside vender guy & I think I still smell it on my hands hehe..Got into trouble from on of the staff for singing to loud..& also from one of the other hosteler's for discussing hotdogs with a guy staying in our room (yes I switched from the German room into a mixed one with Lee)..Ooopps
Today we took a bus to Venice Beach with a guy we met last night called Sagar from Adelaide..really nice kid who I think looked like Usher with his sunglasses on (Lee disagrees - just wait til the photos & make up your own minds). Had a walk down to Santa Monica Beach..Trust me guys this place is amazing, beautiful weather, gorgeous sand, people plaing basketball on courts, rollerblading..You name it, everything you imaging Venice Beach to be & more..loved it!! The weather is slightly weird as kept getting misty at times..
Lee is very excited about tomorrow as Vince McMann from WWE is having an unveiling of his star on the walk of fame - this will be my chance to actually see my first celeb...yippee!!
All in all LA is a good place to be. Some parts are dodgy (as in all cities really) & it's not as glam as what I first thought (can be very sleazy - fetish & sex shops everywhere!) Took some photo's of stars stars - namely Maatt Daammon & Britney Spears..Still not spotted Brad Pitt's yet. Quite dissapointed as wanting a photo of him between my legs lol! (now how often could I say that I've had Brad Pitt between my legs - even if it's just his name hehe).....
Not managed to attach any photo's yet as I'm doing this from the PC in the Hostel & they don't have USB ports but I promise I will before my stay is up...keep you posted...I'm sure there is more that I should right as I'm having an absolute blast & the best thing I've ever done I'd say..Anyway I'm knackered now so gonna leave it there for now...
Bit of an update for you all......
left my entry on Thursday so I'll start from Friday...
Did see Vince & triple H unveil his star on the walk of fame..needless to say it was jam packed but got some good photos. On the night we went on a pub crawl with the hostel, not that many bars on offer to be honest but did go clubbing to a bar called Mood - sister club I believe to Opera (which by the way had the one & only Usher filming his latest music video, didn't get to see him but never mind). Had a major hangover on Saturday but did manage to do a major hike to the Hills & got up & close to the Hollywood sign (was awesome & I'm sure you've all seen the pics!!). On Sunday me & Lee did a walk to Runyun Canyon which was knackering but again some amazing views of LA, the place is massive trust me. Monday was last bits & bob day & a long wait at the airport. Thought it would be a good idea to join Lee (his flight was 5pm & mine wasn't till 11:15, some tears along the way as we said final farewells but guess that's to be expected ;o(!!). But no delays & I was on my way to Fiji..
