The Grand Tour of LA
Well, we touched down at LAX at 10pm, sat on the runway until 11pm, spent an hour-and-a-half queueing for immigration and arrived at the hotel at 1am. The fire alarm went off at 2am, and kept going off until 3.15am. We were up at 7am, ready for our LA tour at 8am!
After some fantastic English bashing from the Australian and US ladies in our pick-up bus ("Australia was really just a prison for the English to send the Irish to...") and in-depth discussion of the immigration debate from the bus driver ("but if you took away the border controls to Mexico all the criminals would get in") we got underway.
Day 1 - LA tour!
Shopping on Rodeo Drive - just like Pretty Woman, but cheaper.
LA in the smog
As close as we got to the Hollywood sign...
David and the Hollywood sign
The Hollywood Walk of Fame (like in the movies!)
More than he deserves...
