Blogs from Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States, North America - page 4

After visiting the desert I had arrived back in Los Angeles, staying in Hollywood for the next 5 days. The following day was Friday, and one of the few days that the Six Flags Theme Park was open, with massive rides - one of the few things I was interested in doing in America, and so I got up nice and early to make my way across the city by three methods of transport to the theme park. Being a Friday, the theme park was almost empty, despite having some of the biggest rides I'd ever seen - making queues for massive rollercoasters almost non-existant. This meant that by 4pm, I'd already been on all the 12 rollercoasters I had wanted. The day was lovely too, like any summer day we could dream of in England! ... read more

Another jam packed day for us, where do I begin.... Started off the day at Mel's Diner, an American icon, with decor from the 50-60's with jukeboxes and booth seating right in the heart of Hollywood. A popular spot for celebs with their pictures plastered over the walls, used in film clips, but probably the most prominent the front facade of the Sunset Boulevard store was actually used in Happy Days. We then visited the Hollywood Museum.....all I can say is WOW, what a fantastic place with 3 floors of celebrity memorabilia, personal items and film props. They house the biggest Marilyn Monroe collection which I was totally in awe of. The pics don't do it justice, but needless to say it had everything from Dorothy's "ruby red" shoes from Wizard of Oz, to Hannibal Lecters ... read more

Rob Writes: Oh look! It’s my turn to write a blog again on a day which we did nothing but drive. Hold on folks, this is going to be an exciting one. We awoke early at our holiday resort hotel in San Diego and were keen to get our stuff together as we were driving to LA. First things first, however... breakfast! After we had satisfied the Escape’s everlasting thirst for its favourite tipple (87RON, pumped, not poured) we me moved onto satisfying our own breakfast needs at the Broken Yolk Cafe. This one was one of those Man v Food restaurants that all the kids talk about and served a right beast of a plate, one of those were you get it for free if you manage to conquer it alone. We had no such ... read more

Aujourd'hui, la voiture n'a pas bougé. Irène nous a emmené aux Studios Universal. Arrivés sur place vers midi, nous avons commencé par la maison hantée. Nous avons eu droit à un remake de "Certains l'aiment chaud" avec une fausse Marilyn, puis après le repas de midi, un autre remake des "Blues Brothers". Ensuite nous sommes allés voir une démonstration d'effets spéciaux, très intéressant. Nous avons pris le train (sur pneus) pour visiter les studios et voir de près les décors (en plastique) utilisés dans les tournages de films ou de séries, avec des passages en 3D (comme King Kong). Très bien faits et impressionnants. Puis nous sommes allés voir les Simpson (embarqués dans un simulateur comme il y en a chez Disney) Nous sommes ensuite allés sur le circuit sur l'eau de "Jurassic Park" dont nous ... read more
