Day 23 - Los Angeles

Actually, technically the different cities that make up LA.

Breakfast at Jinkys Cafe first - love it here that you don't have to have potatoes with your cooked breakfast, so we both had scrambled eggs with sliced tomatoes. Then cheesy tourist action on the hop-on-hop-off bus tour. First to Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive - nuts and ostentatious as expected. Where else would you have dogs in prams... Then to Hollywood itself - less shiny (in fact the area around the pavement stars is a filthy dump). The poor celebs who's 'stars' are now grubby emblems now spat and tread upon. I would have photographed Kevin Spacey's but somebody was break-dancing on it... Saw the Hollywood sign also though - a speck in the distance!

Far too touristy so made a sharp exit and got the bus back to Santa Monica. Passed the office building from Die Hard on the way! LA is a bit nuts - it all looks very familiar because of TV and films.

Happy hour in our new local bar then tacos for the last supper. 'Pinkberry' fro-yo for pud in honour of a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode we both watched on the plane over.

To the airport tomorrow. Back to reality.
