Last Day In LA

Yesterday was our last day in LA. Before leaving LA for Palm Springs we went to Rodeo Drive for some window shopping. After that we went to Beverly Center for some real shopping.

Went into some traffic again on our way to Palm Springs. It should have taken only 2 hours to drive but it took 4 hours instead. The motel was much cleaner than the Hollywood one. It had a nice pool too. Well, we are heading to Las Vegas today via Joshua National Park.

The weather forecast for today is scattered thunderstorm. :-(

No Coverage

Jesus! Apparently if you're with Telia you're out of coverage in most parts of Los Angeles. This is why I've been so quiet the last few days.

Anyway, this is what we've done so far.

26/8
The Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood sign, The Getty Center, UCLA, some shopping... We saw some filming of Criminal Minds at UCLA.

27/8
Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica.

28/8
Universal Studios and Universal Studios City Walk. I hated the new
Simpsons Ride. It's basically the same as the old Back To The Future ride.

Our Rental Car

This is our rental car - a Toyota Highlander. I need a ladder to get in and to get out. ;-)

We landed one hour earlier yesterday due to good winds. After we picked up our rental car we went to Ralph's to buy some groceries before heading for our motel at Hollywood Blvd very near Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Universal Studios, Griffith Observatory and more.

We had problems with our GPS telling the instructions in yards so we learned very quickly to revert back to metres haha.

Anyway, we had no more problems after that and the GPS guided us straight to the motel. I think I have learned that the shortest distance is not always the quickest though. The last 5 km we went into some traffic and that part took 20 minutes at least.

Sleeping At Stefan's
