Not a good night's sleep. Too much noise and too hot in our cupboard! Manager wouldn't reduce our rate, his argument is we have an upgrade at no extra cost. Our argument is by upgrading us we have a worse room. He says we have a sea view, we say there is a tree in the way!
Eventually we ask to move rooms and he eventually finds us a room on the 2nd floor, much bigger and still with a sea view!
Hastily put the bags in there and off we go.
A nice stroll along the promenade to the shopping district, we decided to do the bus tour of Hollywood today. I managed to grab some things from Abercrombie and Fitch, one of my favourite stores over here, had a look at the Kings Head pub, a little bit of England in America, and went to join the tour.
Our bus only had about 8 people on it, the guide was really entertaining, even if he repeated himself a bit.
We visited Universal Studios, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, The Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars are presented, and Rodeo Drive.
A different tour to the one we did a few years back, much more walking. Still very enjoyable and informative.
Met a few crazies out and about, saw a hideous yellow Roller convertible with yellow leather seats, so crass, as well as Bentleys and a host of posh cars!
We were dropped back at our hotel and we enjoyed sitting on the terrace looking at our view.
The girls went to pick up the washing and have their nails and feet manicured.
Pat and I had dropped them off and when we got back to the hotel we sat on the terrace and had a few beers.
The girls got back, had a couple of drinks as well and off we went out to the hotel we had a drink in last night for something to eat.
The food was great, we ended up being the last ones in the restaurant. We left and had a wander down
to the pier, as it was late everything was closed. We walked back to the hotel, decided to get some bikes out tomorrow to explore a bit more of the beach area.
