LA: Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel air, Venice Beach and Universal Studios

We had an alright flight over from Honolulu sleeping and watching a film, once there we got a shuttle to our hostel near Beverly Hills. That evening we went out for a burger (we would of got a free beer but wer too young) and then went to bed very early.

The next day we went on a tour of LA. We started off on Hollywood Boulevard, looking at the stars on the pavement, taking pictures of the most famous ones, also the Chinese theatre and a load of other cinemas. Next we went to a few famous peoples houses in Beverly Hills, the fresh price of Bel air house and the x-men house. We then went for lunch on Venice beach and wandered along the promenade, trying to not get sold hip-hop Cd's. In the afternoon we went to a posh street with shops on wer all the famous people shopping. unfortunately we didn't see anyone we had heard off, but there wer a lot of famous looking people! In the evening we watched a big basket ball game on TV and then again went to bed early.

Today we went to universal studios. First we went on Shrek 4D, with the seats moving and water spraying at you when donkey sneezed etc. We then went on the studio tour. Seeing sets from Jaws, war of the worlds, King kong and loads of other films and TV programs. After that we went on the mummy ride and the Jurassic park ride, and also to the special effects show, which was cool. In the afternoon we went on the Simpson's ride which was probably my favourite, it was basically a simulator again full of special effects. We finished off the day at terminator, water world and the animal show (with a very funny orangutan!)

So we have fitted a lot in in LA and spent a bit more than planned too. Off to New York early 2moro morning. We have four nights there - and then home!!!

See you soon.
