We've done our first week in L.A and we're having a great time! We're getting used to the California lifestyle, people here are crazy but everyone just accepts one another's craziness! It's a very friendly place in the right parts but not good without a car.
So on Saturday we went to Manhattan Beach again for the day, the weather was great and we rented some deck chairs from a place called Funn Bunns. We tanned for a bit and then went for a a stroll down the sea front! We went for dinner at Sizzler which is like an American versiom of Harvester with free salad bar (they dont do salad unless its ready prepared and dressed).
On the Sunday, we went to Venice Beach to walk on the boardwalk. Venice is NUTS, loads and loads of people all on the boardwalk, it was like a carnival, very bohemian and very "hippy" but obviously now with a modern influx of wannabe hiphop stars! They'll hand youva cd, put some headphones on you and then ask you for $10 before you even get a chance to speak! They sulk when you decline! Ha! There are lots of food places, shops selling Bob Marley and Barack Obama T shirts, and lots of people selling "art" and whatnot! We saw Muscle Beach, a massive outdoor gym! All of this in the 30c heat! A brilliant Sunday!
We rentedvs car for Monday and Tuesday and took a trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Six Flags has some awesome rides but doesn't quite have the atmosphere of Universal or somewhere like that. The only thing they had done well was the Batman portion of the park! Batman the ride is SO fast, and there are so many good other rides but Tatsu was my favourite! It's like Air at Alton Towers only Bigger, Better and Badder!
Today we went to Hollywood, to see the sign and all the othet bits! We got quite close to the sign took some great pictures! After that, we went to Hollywood Blvd and the Walk of Fame to see some "stars" and to Graumann's Chinese Theatre to see who's hands we had! Mine fit Arnold Schwarznegger's best and Jen's fit Emma Watson's! Terminator and Hermione! Nice!
4 days til the trek starts and we can't wait!
