after arriving at the Los Angeles hostel i was quite suprised how nice it was, we settled in had our free breakfast then headed down hollywod boulevard we looked for the starts that intrested us my fav was probs bob marley we had a look round the kodak theatre and chineses and saw a few things but to be honest i wasnt feeling too much like the tourist probably beacause had done alot over the last few weeks. so we headed to traders joes to get some food i brought amango salad which was amazing then somehow we ended up bumping into devon and christiana at our new hostel which was pretty odd...we had a pretty chilled out night that night and just chatted to the girls in our dorm...nice civilised night!
Then after going downstairs for my free pancakes i decided its worth blowing the last of my USA budget on a baseball game! why not give me an excuse to but a cap as for today not sure wether to hit the beach or wait till i get to fiji?! so many decisions. altho after last nights mellowness and a full nights sleep i need to do something exciting again!
next day we planned on going to see a baseball game before we left america and as dodger stadiumn wasnt too far away off we set to get tickets after a bus journey and another hike up a hill for which my legs still hadnt forgiven me about the bike ride we eventually got there brought our tickets and of course i had to buy a baseball cap if i was going to be a real fan! also the lady we got our tickets from said we could go see our seats which we did because we were up in the high section but we decided to go a wonder down to the lowere levels when we got to the first level we sat down and watched some of the dodgers start to train for the game and later on some of the washington nationals started to train later they started catch practise this is when some bloke appeared and asked us what we were doing because apparently we werent allowed to be there and we were a security risk to the players so he escorted us back to top deck...was funny defo played the dumb english who didnt know!....so we decided to head into downtown for a bit before the game started. we went to get food at jack in the box i had a chicken burger thing then we had to go chemist because lou had got sunburn and then we ended up at some park were some band was playing we sat briefly before heading back to see the game!
The baseball was actually a lot better than i had expected and as i didnt quite know the rules at first i had to base it on rounders which did help for parts of it but as it went on we got more and more into it had to staop twice to sing american songs and the anthem but the organ player killed it especially the random chants and my favourite was the baseball song...'..' i also found the dance cam and kiss cams pretty funny def a homely game for the family unlike football but it is a really long game so i guess you kind of have to be into it on the ninth ining we were drawing against the washington nationals and the the best hit ever happened and as there were already two guys on the bases we won the game!! so good defo made me a dodgers fan!
At the airport and wo do we run int again but the aussies so random three times in different countries we were like wtf and to be on the same airplane as them was pretty odd! In the airport i had a panda express and stunk of garlic and then sat in departures for what seemed like forever, then when we eventually got on the plane which was actually an airbus i was sandwiched inbetween two peopl worse seat ever espcially as my tv was broken i fell asleep before we even took offfand when i woke up i still thought we hadnt left the ground! after trying to sleep uncomfortable for ages i finally got to move seats and had a tv that worked but only had a few hours lefton the plane! during the flight also lost a whole day because of flying over the time line.
