Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood, CA

On November 19th we travelled to Los Angeles by Greyhound bus with our friend Elia. We were surprised the bus was very comfortable, with a lot of place in front of your seat and with free Internet connection. We didn't see much of Los Angeles itself, because our hotel was in Hollywood. We brought our baggage to the hotel and prepared for a night walk down the Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame. We looked for bars on the Hollywood Boulevard and were surprised to find out that there wasn't really much going on, espetially compared to the livly Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego. We took the bus to Sunset Strip, the famous « night-life » street in Hollywood. But even there we couldn't find lots of cover-free bars. We saw quite a few clubs, but it was not what we were looking for.

On Saturday 20th a visit to the Universal Studios was on schedule. In the morning is was raining a lot and we were forced to walk around with ridicoulous jellow ponchos and uncomfortably wet feet ! But the park was lots of fun ! As the weather was not the best, it was not so crowded and the lines not so long, so we had enough time to see all the attractions, rides and shows.

On Sunday we took a guided Hollywood V.I.P tour. We passed all the most famous places like Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Rodeo Drive and we saw houses of some hollywood stars.

After the tour we visitd Madame Tousseaud's Wax museum and headed back to San Diego in the late afternoon.
