Californication

That's me arrived in Los Angeles! Had a day in Fiji en route when I went to South Sea Island - it was really nice, a tiny island with basically just the beach and the resort. We got to go Snorkelling and saw some exotic fish and Kayaking which was grand. I was very tired when I arrived in LA as my flight into Fiji arrived after 1 in the morning then we left for the tour around 8am and my flight out was at 10pm and as we crossed the International Date Line we arrived before we left which was all a bit disorientating!

Los Angeles is really something, everyone seems to be driving about in a huge 4x4! We're living just off Hollywood Boulevard so a lot of the sights are within easy reach. Been along the Walk of Fame and to the Grauman's Chinese Theatre which has hand and foot prints of lots of famous actors. Also been down to Macy's in Downtown on the Metro and this afternoon we went on a sightseeing tour of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and the Hollywood Hills where we saw lots of famous peoples houses (e.g. The Osbournes, Ben Stiller, Sylvester Stallone, Madonna) It's really hot here at the moment and the amount of Smog around is unbelievable - even the Hollywood Sign is hazy from Hollywood Boulevard! Hoping to go to Universal Studios shortly, and go a walk up to the Hollywood Sign through Griffith Park.

I've got lots of photos but this Internet Cafe doesn't allow me to upload them so I'll post a message here when I get them uploaded!
