Finally, Buffy admitted her undying love for me and let me kiss her on the cheek. If you don't believe me then look at the photo, doesn't she look impressed?
So LA has probably been one of the nicest cities we've visited so far. I know, sounds wrong? Trust me when I say, go to Santa Monica and you'll be well impressed. We managed to jump on a tour bus and get an amazingly talented tour guide named John who really spiced up the trip with his wit and extensive knowledge of the city. He pointed out Nakatomi plaza building (Die Hard for those playing at home) on the way to our first stop at Rodeo Drive which, to be honest, was pretty boring. It was a really fancy upscale shopping street which I think they mainly take you to for celebrity sightings but unfortunately there were none. Back on the bus we drove to Hollywood Blvd to go to Madam Tussauds (Or however you spell it) and I got to see the amazing wax sculptures up close which, I must admit, was as impressive as it was creepy. I remember catching Briteny Spears' eyeline at one point and getting weird ed out. The photos will all be up eventually, but attached is my favorite one.
The Blvd was closed off for the premiere of The Avengers and there was security everywhere. We didn't really have the time to hang around too long so we saw the Hollywood sign and took the tour bus up Mulholland drive which was impressive, the view up there was amazing. Coming from Perth it really made me realise how small my home is in comparison.
Traffic is different too, for one thing, horns are used a lot more but not really aggressively. And theres a lot more of it!
The Santa Monica pier was pretty cool and the beach induced memories of San Andreas and Los Santos. They basically lifted everything from real life.
A bit tired so I'll save everything for another blog.
Happy Travels,
Reece
