Los Angeles - The Time of My Life!

Los Angeles, otherwise known as "The City of Angels" is just a city definitely worth a visit. I suggest getting your hands on a car to drive around in, because the best places to go to certainly are a bit further from the city centre.

You will find so many things to see in L.A, it's hard to learn where you can begin. Being released if the airport, I was in awe of the scenery around me. Everything was so spacious and big compared to the UK. The temperature was ideal for me outside. Warm enough not to wear a jumper or coat, with an attractive breeze. On your way to where I was staying, I'd going to the 101 highway which reminded me of the scene in The Matrix Reloaded rent a Ferrari in Los Angeles both lorries collide, and bought a smile my face. I was in Hollywood! As I pulled in the place I was staying, I was wondering what celebrities I might'bump'into and manage to take a photo with. I possibly could barely contain myself, so I dumped my stuff into my room took my hire car out right to Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

I acquired there parked my car up in one of the designated parking spaces and began strolling through Hollywood Boulevard. I walked past Michael Jackson's star on the Walk of Fame, as well as Olsen Twins, David Bowie, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Audrey Hepburn, David Hasselhoff, The Monkees - among my favourite bands, Chuck Norris - Beware Walker, Texas Ranger and Queen to mention a number of my favourites. There have been many tourist shops down this walk, which disappointed me a little because although a primary tourist attraction, it will have been far more up market and glamorous. Not saying that my walk through Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills was anything less than glamorous! I walked across the shopping area and went into a number of the huge names such as for instance Gucci, Chanel, Dior and Prada etc, my favourite though, had to be going into the Ferrari car show room and sitting in my dream car, 360 Spyder. I felt so rich. I also walked up past a number of the houses and they certainly were all individual and beautiful. I wondered what stars lived there, because I didn't take among the tours, I chose to walk it. Anticipate to walk a lot, because the roads are long but definitely worth every penny for all your things you can see. After that long walk I went back and made a decision to sleep as jet lag trapped with me.

Over another few days I visited various shopping malls (there were so many I forget them!) and did so much shopping that I needed an extra suitcase on the road back. I also went to any or all the key tourist attractions, Walt Disney California, Universal Studios which were both left and moved to Florida due to insufficient space to expand. I loved going here, I felt just like a big kid exploring Disney and Universal studios. I ran into Doc from Back to the Future, or more like he nearly ran me over with the Delorean from the film because I was being tourist and looking everywhere! It was a good day, and I was shown the sites of L.A as they through to a hill. You can see the WB water tower and the Studios where they do all the filming for up and coming films. In the far distance I really could clearly start to see the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and directly behind which was Las Vegas. It had been such a beautiful view, I stood for a good around 30 minutes just soaking it all in. Beautiful. Absolutely Beautiful. I watched sunlight semi set over the city and I didn't want to leave. Went home and looked over the pictures.
