Great breakfast included at this hotel. Lovely dining room with the usual continental breakfast but there were also two chefs that cook omelettes eggs or whatever you want while you wait.
We did a tour of Los Angeles today. Went through downtown, Olvera Street which is the historic birthplace of Los Angeles and was founded in 1781. We also went through Chinatown and stopped in Hollywood at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. I took a photo of Hugh Jackman's hand prints. We also saw the Kodak Theatre where the Oscars used to be held and the walk of fame where movie stars have their star in the sidewalk. We also got to see the famous Hollywood sign. We went down Sunset Strip and into Beverly Hills where the celebrities live and has it's own police force. We went past lots of celebrity homes, Beyonce, Justin Bieber and many more. Then we went down Rodeo Drive with all the high end shops.
We stopped at the historic Farmer's Market and the Grove for lunch and some shopping. Then we changed buses to go to Santa Monica. We walked along the beach and there was so much going on. There is all sorts of exercise equipment, a tightrope, volleyball and much more. We walked on to the famous Santa Monica pier which has a big Ferris wheel, a carousel, stalls and amusements. There were so many people there as it is summer holidays and a Saturday.
Back to the hotel and I had to go and buy some analgesics for my throat and have a lie down.
Then we had dinner at a great French restaurant. I had sole with lemon pesto and Annamarie had lobster risotto. It was very nice.
Tomorrow we are going to Universal Studios.
Cheers Roz
