Disclaimer: This is a really long post.
Hello my loves,
So, since I got here one of the main things I've wanted to do is to go to LA and see Hollywood. A few weeks back, this actually happened. We'd planned it for like 3 weeks, what we would do and the places we wanted to see and I can happily say it did not disappoint. It was one of the best days i've had since i've been here and i'm so happy I got to see it.
Let me introduce you to the group.
Starting from the Left we have,
Liam, Al, Becca, Me, Laura, Anne and Canadian Matt.
Now that's out of the way, lets get on with the day!
We all got up reasonably early and took the metro from where we live to LA. It took around an hour and we decided to just get off in Hollywood. As soon as we got out of the station we got harassed by a guy who was desperate for us to go on a star tours to see the houses etc. However, as he gave us a deal of a 3 hour tour for $20 each we kind of just agreed and went to pay our money. Although looking slightly dodgy to begin with, it did not disappoint and we even had a professional comedian as our tour guide making it definitely worth the money.
On this tour we saw things such as:
Pretty Girl Hotel
Marilyn Monroes house
Kim and Kanye's House
Charlie Sheen's House
Hollywood Sign
Katy Perry's House
Ellen DeGeneres's House
John Travolta's House
Rodeo Drive
Beverly Hills Sign
Pretty Woman Hotel
Katy Perry's
Kim and Kanye's
John Travoltas
After our star tours, we got dropped off just outside the Chinese theatre. It was here we decided to properly check out the stars on the floor as well as the handprints etc.
After all our escapades at the Chinese theatre we decided to pay a visit to a place our tour guide recommended. It was called ' The Grove ' and when we pulled up and saw Farmers Market we immediately assumed this wasn't really what we had in mind. However, after seeing a huge Topshop we quickly learnt it was a huge shopping centre and the whole thing genuinely looked like it was straight out of a movie, it was so quaint and lovely, it's one place I 100% want to revisit before I leave.
We were so tight on time, so we ran to the restaurant that me and Becca have been dying to try out, The Cheesecake Factory and it's safe to say it definitely did not disappoint.
The best part of this whole meal was by far the Vanilla Bean cheesecake, like oh my god it was SO so SO good.
Unfortunately, the end of the day ended slightly disastrously as we missed our greyhound to take us back to where we live so had to get a taxi! That's a minor hiccup though as all in all we had a great day and I will definitely look back on this one with fond memories :)
