Yo Yo Yo everyone :)
well what to say about LA? hmm! well basically we flew up from cancun and landed pretty early evening about 7ish hoping to get to our hostel in the famous Hollywood and party it up with some new friends, but insted we had to wait in an imigration waiting line for about 3 bloody hours!!! Which was pretty funny in the end because we got talking to some ozzys and we were getting right aggrivated with this little chinese woman who kept bumping into us in the que which was seriously still! lol ANYWAY... so yeah once we got out of the airport we had to get about 3 different tube trains to hollywood from downtown LA. It was pretty late, maybe about 11pmish and we stuck out like a sore thumb already. Especially when we hit the second tube station where we found the biggest gang of black guys hanging out at one end. It was well scary lol like a scene out of a gang film where two white backpackers are stood at one end of a train station and a massive gang of huge black guys with their bandanas on stood at the other. But yes we did end up speaking to one of them lol and he was proper sorted too, he told us where to go and everything.
So yeah our first day in Hollywood was pretty exciting, although we had to move hostels because the one we were staying at was fully booked up! We ventured out on a seriously long walk to the all star Hollywood sign everyone is pretty familiar with im sur, and as you can see from the photos, the hollywood sign with never be the same again! rick was pretty hungry! then we walked down to hollywood blvd where we took photos with all the famous stars foot and hand prints in the concrete! we also got harrassed by a big cuddley panda!
That night we went to see a film made by some american guy based on his backpacker experiences, which may we say, was utter crap! the storyline was pretty good but this Neil guy just bigged himself up to be this really cool, arrogant guy that gets all the ladies when really he was just a short little fat annoying man in a lacoste t-shirt. We went to a japanese resturant after that and had some drinks with a canadian couple called simon and tina who were two awesome people and had basically done our travel route backwards so they had plenty of advice and plenty of stories for us.
Me and rick pretty much drank starbucks coffee and acted like superstars for about 4 days haha, it was pretty good... and the reason for this is because we had the influence from Lake... now lake was a guy we met in the hostel who was an actor and singer from texas, and god did he let you know that he WAS and ACTOR and SINGER! haha he was a proper sorted lad but we think he may have had a soft spot for rick if you know what i mean!
our last day was pretty good also! me and rick, tina and simon rented a car and drove through beverly hills (where we saw ozzy osbournes house, see the photos) and right through to venice beach and we had dinner at the venice whaler. Venice beach was beautiful and full of total characters, skateboarders and homeless, it was great fun.
I will also mention that i dont think we've EVER met and come across so many freaks and weirdos in our life than LA lol it was amazing, we laughed so much.
So yeah! thats LA, on to FIJI!!! :)
Love Adam x x x x
