LA Day 2

On day 2 we started off with breakfast from Tart(Restaurant attached to our hotel, You can see it in the pic of the hotel in LA day 1 post) I had 3 of massivest pancakes i have ever had, i struggled to finish them. They were tasty tho!

We caught the big red sightseeing bus to have a look at the sights of LA. The buses were open top old english style busses, It was a nice and sunny day but the wind was freezing! The bus took us around the sights of hollywood first. We went past most of the big film and tv lots that are in the Hollywood area including CBS, Paramount, Nickelodeon. The tour also took us down melrose Ave, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood Blvd, Sunset Blvd and Santa Monica Blvd. Everything looked just like it does in the movies(Funny that!)

Paramounts famous front gates.

Awesome Obey graffiti on a wall on Melrose Av.

Kodak Theater Fail!

We also did the Stars Homes tour. Most of the houses were retardedly big! Especially the Spelling mansion. I took heaps of pics of the houses but i don't remember whose house was whose. The tour also too us up on the hollywood hill to see the sign and the views of the city. Some development group wanted to knock the hollywood sign down and build houses. While we were in LA was the dead line for $us12.5m to be raised to save it and out all all the people to save it, it was Hugh Hefner with a whopping $900000 donation!

Looking back across the city. That's the hollywood bowl on the bottom right and downtown LA is off in the distance in the middle.

After the tour of the stars homes we caught the big red bus again but this time down to Santa Monica Pier. The pier was very very busy, people everywhere! We didn't have time to walk up to Venice beach because we ran out time.

We didn't see Forrest Gump or Capt'n Dan. :(
