LA #Day9

We checked out of our Venice Beach hostle and killed a few hours wondering by the beach until we moved to our next hotel- 

 

It is pride week here and someone had covered the sand in every single countries flag, naming i t'One Love'. Was such a cool thing to see! 

   

  

Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi! 

 
Got our selfs a little Henna Tattoo: 
 

 

We checked into our new hotel closer to the airport and had our first meet up with our Contiki group and tour guide! We just went over some paperwork and then the bus leaves at 8am tomorrow for Vegas! 

Hollywood #Day8

To the land of the rich and famous! 

Hollywood was just a 45 minute uber away. Uber has been so accessible here and every driver we've had has been so friendly! 

Hollywood Boulevard was crazy busy but awesome. 

 

  
 

Straight through the opening in this shopping mall just above was a great view of the Hollywood sign: 

 

 

We walked down the Walk of Fame and saw all the stars:

   

The Jimmy Kimmel show is filmed just across the street!    
 

Graumans Chinese Theater:

 

Out the front of the theatre were hand/foot prints of celebrities: 

Twilight/Harry Potter/Marilyn Monroe/Johnny Depp.

 

   

After this we went on a Hollywood/Beverly Hills bus tour. We managed to get the price down from $50 each to $20! Bargain. Was a really cool tour going for almost 2 hours showing us views of the sign, the city and the million dollar celebrity mansions. 

  

Celebrity homes- 

Justin Bieber: 

 

Carrie Fisher:

 

George Clooney:

 

Katy Perry:

 

Kim Kardashian: 

 

Lady Gaga:

 

Selena Gomez: 

 

David Beckham: 

 

Beyoncé: 

 

Michael Jackson: 

 

Johnny Depp:

 

Arnold Schwartzenegger: 

 

The tour also took us down Rodeo Drive-some fancy stuff there. 

 

 

We headed back to the Boulevard and then back for our last night stay at Venice Beach. 

Venice Beach #Day7

Today was spent soaking up some California sunshine!  

We walked from our hostle along Venice Beach Broadwalk up to Santa Monica Pier. Was a 7km walk there and back

    

The pier was packed full of people! 

    
 

Checking out Muscle Beach: 

  

Our hostel is right on the beach so we went back, got our bathers and spent the rest of the afternoon sunbaking!  

 

Sunset. 

 

Tomorrow we are going to Hollywood!
