We made it...

just....the taxi driver who delivered us to our hotel would not speak, closed his eyes whilst driving and looked like a killer...'seriously', I had my doubts about getting here safe. Los Angeles has been great to see, however a bit of a hole...we are staying in Downtown LA which is not so scenic but hotel is extremely nice. If I were to come again Beverly Hills would be on top of my list then Hollywood. First full day here we saw where the Academy Awards are held, the star strip (took a pic of Alan Jackson's star for Uncle Mick) the homes of the stars (i.e. Orlando Bloom, Chalize Theron)(they live in the area where Sharon Tate was killed by Marilin Manson, the movie of this murder was one of the most horrifying movies I have ever seen), then we went into Beverley Hills and saw the homes of Dr Phil, The Beckhams, Tom Cruise and Katie Homes, Michael Jackson and blah blah blah got quiet boring after a while cos all you could see were lots of high fences and awesome gates. We drove down Rodeo Drive 'THE BEST DRIVE IN THE WORLD' and also past the Beverley Hills Whilshire 'PRETTY WOMAN' and the spot where Richard Gere rescues Julia Roberts, then onto Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Santa Monica and Venice Beach lovely place by the seaside and great restaurants although the approach from randoms at the markets started to get to me....Yesterday was Universal Studio's SO MUCH FUN BUT I didn't get to drive down Wisteria Lane as they were filming :-(, I did get to see their trailers, got very burnt and look like a lobster. Ow also had pic's taken with some not so famous people but they have stared on True Blood, Greys Anatomy and CSI. Today was Disneyland absolutely a great place to visit the history and illusions created were amazing shame we couldn't have visited here 20 years earlier ('mum' 'dad'..hehe) a top place for young children, this is probably the best adventure park I have ever been to. The food has been yum but the taxes and tips suck, ROOM SERVICE AWESOME. Tomorrow off to Las Vegas...hopefully will get to post some more pic's as there is a lady wanting to use the computer!!!
