Hollywood










Enjoyed a sunny but very hazy LA day cruising the streets of Hollywood looking at the mansions of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Mulholland Drive. Walked the Hollywood walk of fame and went to the Chinese Theatre for the hand,foot prints and messages from the stars. Saw the Kodak Theatre where the Oscars are presented. Only famous spotting for real was Stephen Spielberg in his very flash car on Rodeo Drive. Scott not quite quick enough with the camera but kind of a glimpse on film! Not great shots of the famous Hollywood on the hill because of very hazy weather. Told by the locals its something to do with the sea but we think its just smog! Enjoyed driving around all the Boulevard's we've only ever heard of -Hollywood Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard. Farmer's Markets in the evening for dinner and a tram ride! Last day tomorrow - spending it at Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach, hoping to hire bikes again. Don't need to be at Airport until 6.30pm so plenty of time for final sight seeing! This will be our last blog until we are back in NZ. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Thanks to everyone who has made comments on our blog, we have really loved sharing it with you! We leave LA 9.30pm Sunday night which is about 4.30pm Monday afternoon NZ time. Arrive home 5.30am NZ time Tuesday. We lose Monday - hopefully will sleep heaps!

PS Manaia Kindergarten Children - I think this must be where Beverly used to live! Lots of the streets have her name on them and there is even a Beverly Hills! I wonder which house was hers. Can you see Beverly's name on a sign?
