Venice Beach
On our tandem bike on Venice Beach (no incidents to report!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (even tho its the 21st for us 2mrw!)
Today was a bit of a catch up day on things we didn’t see enough of. So prob a bit boring for you to read. Still started early tho, caught a bus out to Santa Monica, which sounds easy but was a long process. Today was the first day of us using the bus system. So after waiting 20 mins for the bus we were on our way. We actually had to get off half way and then catch another bus- tricky I know- but Benn had it all worked out- he looked it up on the net the night before. So I left it up to him.
So anyway we finally arrived at Santa Monica after and hour of waiting at bus stops and prob an hour of driving! So we went for another walk up and down the shopping strip which was quite nice. We walked back along the beach and decided to hire a tandem bike to ride up to Venice Beach. This was pretty fun, I let Benn do the steering. So we had another look at Venice Beach and took a few
Us at the BBall
I love my foam hand! more photos.
We returned to Santa Monica and caught another bus to the Sunset Strip (another bout of waiting for buses etc.) So we finally arrived and went for a walk down the strip for the first time (always drove past it) taking photos of the famous night clubs. The Viper Bar- where River Phoenix died and the Hyde lounge (Paris and Britney hang out). This was the club that Britney was seen leaving only weeks ago with no undies on. We also ventured back up to Paris Hiltons place and this time we heard the door open. We think it was her maid or cleaner or whatever. She said sorry Paris is not home, I was like and if she was, she would come out? Neway she told us she went to Hawaii yesterday and was going to Las Vegas for New Years (so are we!).
We then headed back to the hotel and picked up our jackets. We caught the train back to the Staples Centre to watch an NBA game- LA Clippers v Toronto somethings. It was ok, boring in parts- I fell asleep a few times (sorry Andrew!). I looked forward to the time
Hotel Californa
Welcome to the Hotel Californa ... Came across this today found it signifcance in the song outs or end of the quarter so I could see the cheerleaders and other entertainment. So in the last quarter in the last 2 mins the LA team which was trailing by about 10 points the whole game caught up to the Toronto team. So finally it got a bit exciting. Neway it was 2 for them 2 for the other team and foul there and foul here until there was 15 secs left and the score was level. A timeout was called (yes! more cheerleading!) and after that the Toronto team held the ball wasting the clock down and took the shot with one second to go and got it in. The crowd was not happy at all! I was, I thought it was funny. So there you go.
So we are back in the hotel before 12! A first for us in Hollywood. I’m really tired and I have a running nose and sore throat coming on. So I'm gonna hit the sack now and get so much needed sleep. (We haven’t been to bed before 2.30am here!). So signing off, Universal Studios tomorrow, shall be fun
Woke up this morning after washing my hair last
Hyde Lounge
Famous for Britney Spears forgotting to put on some underwear! night to get out my hair straightener to calm it down a bit. But hey the straightener didnt dam well work. Even with the adaptor it just wasnt switching on. So ive had a bit of a bad hair day- and im a bit concerned about the remainer of the holiday!
