Days 40 & 41 - Los Angeles

Days 40 & 41 – Friday & Saturday – Los Angeles, California

Oh man, I cant believe we're now in our last city *sob*

Well we left San Simeon Friday morning and made our way down to Los Angeles. I have heard about the LA traffic but WOW - it was so thick and it was like midday on a Friday...go figure.

We went straight to Universal Studios and had a ball taking in the rides and shows. I had been many many years ago, so alot of the shows are similar, just rebadged (ie Miami Vice was now Waterworld) but it was still WAY cool!

We headed out at 6pm when the park closed and had dinner at a place on the Universasl City Walk where we completely embarassed ourselves with the amount of food we ordered and the lack of that we ate! Oh Kate also got conned in to doing a bull ride hehehe.

Saturday we made our way in to the park by mid morning and did a few things we hadnt had the chance to do the day before and then redid some of our favorite rides (The Mummy & Jurassic Park).

So.....is anyone out there still reading coz we havent had many emails or comments lately *poke poke*
