So I'm well and truely knackered! have spent all day on the Grand Tour of Los Angeles. We first drove around Pacific Palisades, Bel-Air etc spotting stars' homes. I saw where Nicole Kidman used to live, John Voigt's house, where Charlie Chaplin used to live and Steven Speilburg's front gate! There were loads more. Some people I didn't know who they were. Mostly though we just saw gates, hedges and the occasional roof top! Next off we went to Rodeo Drive and window shoped. Then it was up through Hollywood, past Johnny Depp's Viper Rooms, and on to Mann's Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame. Stood in Tom Hanks footprints and took loads of pictures. Was really crowded though so lots of jostling for space. We then drove on up to Mulholland where we stopped to look out over the city and the Hollywood sign. We couldn't see the city much though because there was smog. We stopped for lunch at Universal Studios City Walk - I had pizza - mmm! Next it was down to Downtown LA where we went to the El Pueblo area which is the oldest part of LA. It was really busy and full of stalls selling Mexican-alia! Afterward we cam back to the hostel. It's now dark and I still have to go and find some dinner and the address of the hotel I have to get to really early tomorrow morning to start my tour! And only 7 mins left on the timer before I run out of money!!!

Don't know when I'll get to update again as for next three weeks almost I'm on the Trek America tour and therefore with a group so I don't know how much free time I'll have to find an internet station. Mum and Dad don't worry if you don't here from me for a while...

Love Rach xx
