Hollywood, Los Angeles

---

Us again. We've spent the last 5 days in Hollywood. The weather is still red hot. 39 degrees all week. It's a great city but very dangerous. We had to come back to the hotel before dark because the streets can be very dodgy at night even though we stopped in Beverly Hills. We haven't seen any famous people we know but did see someone getting out of a car with loads of paparazzi swarming around her. Hollywood boulevard is great. It's got loads to do including the walk of fame and the Kodak theatre, the place where the Oscars are filmed. We've been to Universal Studios as well. The studio tour was really good. It shows you all the sets where loads of famous films and TV shows are filmed. Back to the Future, King Kong, CSI and Heroes were all filmed there. Another flight today. Not too far to go though. By for now.

The streets are like this on both sides for about 3 and a half miles! It took us hours but we managed to see most of the stars

This is where all the stars have their hands and feet set into the pavement

We've actually bought a 1 year pass because it was the cheapest way to get in??

Scary
This is one of the sets for the War of the Worlds movie. A real Boeing 747! Glad we weren't flying that day
