We drove to this new hotel, kind of like a motel and dropped our car off. Then we walked up the street of L.A, down the walk of fame. We saw loads and loads of stars, one every yard or so. I learnt that there are more than 2500 stars. Thats alot.
The bike tour was wonderful. The man who took us was really nice, and I learnt lot on the trip. We passed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's house, and one of the windows was open, which meant he was home! Now that probably sounds a bit unimpressive, but it honestly felt so exciting!
We got really, really close to the Hollywood sign, and went through this little cave, where loads of famous movies were filmed, including the oringal Batman, Star Trek and Lone Ranger. The tour guide was a really talented photographer and took some shots of us all. It was really fun!
(lloyd) well what can I add? Enjoyed last moments at the hotel. Some gym time. Training for half marathon the last days I have concentrated on speed work. This means short 20 mins on the treadmill. Today I did a few lengths of the pool and the bike ride so my own mini triathlon. ..
Right the bike tour was awesome. Packed it all in to 2 or 3 hours whigh really was all we had. Hollywood at night not so child friendly. Scott our guide a top fella and if any of you guys pass this way look them up here http://www.biketourshollywood.com/
Back at the days Inn now. Bit of a motEl feel. Snacks and beers from the 7/11 and chips on TV. I have been looking for ponch and Jon ever since I hit the la freeway and here they are.
That and batmans cave has made my day...
I love Carys' description on your Boysenberry obsession Lloyd. I've got lots of boring photos of the stars outside Sam's Theatre from my visit there. So glad you described them not took them :-)
ReplyDeleteThe ride sounds innovative, fun and good exercise - well planned.
Photos are fab. Another quality day.
ReplyDeleteHow are the boysenberries fitting in with the training Lloyd?
Respect to you. Chips on tv? 'Twas fate. Xxx
Moved on from boysenberries now. My therapist helped me. Everyone out here has a therapist right?
ReplyDeleteI reckon a ton of Boysenberries would be cheaper than an LA therapist :-)
Deletejust looking back on old blogs and no idea where our photos under the Hollywood sign have gone!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lloyd,
DeleteI noticed that on another of your blogs.
Just before coming away I caught up with your Spanish and AustraAsia ones. The latter had some photos missing too.
How did you load the photos, straight into blogger or linked to Goole Photos. Sometimes if you edit things in Google Photos it changes them in blogger, so it might be that?
hmm .. these days I load straight onto blogger from google photos, but I wonder if I did something different back in the day. Not sure I'll go back and reload, time moves on.
Deletechange of plan, this is bugging me now, but perhaps a when I'm at home in front of the TV job, although I have fixed this one sort of - can't actually remember the exact photos used but will be near as dammit.
