We arrived in LA Anna was still with us, we got dropped in downtown not a very nice part of LA then got a cab to our hotel in Hollywood. We found a supermarket right across the street so go some dinner there.
The next day we did the Hollywood strip and looked at all the stars and the Chinese Theater and the Kodak Theatre then had lunch at hooters and wandered by to the motel to lay by the pool in the sun for the afternoon.
The next day we got a bus to Santa Monica we wandered round the pier then had lunch at Bubba Gump and then lay on the beach where we met up with Katie, then bussed back then Anna had to leave to get her plane back to nz. Rachs friend Kate from camp arrived that night to stay with us for a few days.
Next day we went to Disneyland we got the bus there so we had to get up super early to get there on time we got the metro first then the bus it took about an hour an half, but we got to Disneyland in plenty of time and got our tickets we were right at the front of the line for when the actual gates opened at ten am. We met up with Simons friend Rory from camp he hung out with us during the day .We didn’t have to wait in any ques all day the longest was probably 5mins which was excellent. The bus journey home on the other hand not so fun, we caught an early bus than we had planned but this is great the bus was waiting as we walked out the gate well so we thought it was great we were heading down the freeway then all of a sudden the bus just stops then he couldn’t get it going then we finally got going, but we continued to cut out every time we stopped at the lights, he finally flagged down another bus after a long long wait and we transferred buses. We then got the metro back to Hollywood and got home about 10.45pm when we had left at like 6.15am yikes long day.
Next day we went to universal getting there was so simple compared to Disney, we just caught a metro one stop then we got a free shuttle from the metro up the hill to universal studios, again right as it opened at 10am no ques yet again we did the studio tour first which was really cool there was a 360 degree 3d king Kong movie which was awesome and we got to see the set of wisteria land aka desperate housewives. Jurassic park ride was next and we had heard you got wet but we got soaked literally felt like they got a bucket of water and threw it at our faces but it was sooo fun and it kept us cool for a while in the hot sun!!! we did the mummy ride, Again no ques for the rides apart from the Simpsons ride which took about 30mins but nothing too big. We then had lunch and did the animals on film show, then water world show which was really really good, then the special effects show and then we decided to finish on the haunted house not the best idea was freaky as, but it was fun. Then we headed home via Hollywood blvd were we walked past jimmy kimmel live and people were lining up we knew that you could get free tickets to and we were planning to the next day but the girl stopped us and asked if we wanted to go and then she told us who was going to be on the show and Rachel and I freaked out KHLOE KARDASHIAN so there was no way we could say no, Simon had to run back to the hotel to met mike so he couldn’t go. It was so cool we got out about 8ish and headed back to the hotel, to watch the rugby world cup opening ceremony and the first game we all watched the first twenty mins or so then fall asleep as it was about 1.30 in the morning.
The next day we were all very slow and tired but we decided to do a star tour, which was awesome they took us up the Hollywood hills to look out over at the Hollywood sign, then we went down Sunset blvd to the sunset strip were there were lots of famous clubs and things, then into Beverly Hills and Bel Air and then down rodeo drive and back to Hollywood along Melrose ave (place). We then grabbed some dinner and Kate left to go back to nz. Rach and Si went to a gig that Davis was working at I was going to go with but I feel asleep.
The next day we got up had lunch then we walked from our hotel all the way to rodeo drive did a spot of shopping (not) and had photos in front of the Beverly hills sign and then got a taxi back to the sunset strip were we had a few drinks, then back to the hotel Rachel and I feel asleep but the boys went out on the town as it was their last night together.
We slept in very very late I think all the travelling finally caught up with us as we were exhausted!!! Went down to Hollywood stars for a bit did a few jobs then back to lay by the pool, got some dinner then mike got picked up, last night with Rach and Si and we watched forest Gump and chilled out.
The next morning Rach and Si left about 7.30am to get their shuttle to the airport to fly to Canada! I mosied around the hotel for a bit then got to the train station to get a train to San Diego to met with Katie from camp!!!!
