Los Angeles

We started off our day (after doing laundry) by taking a bus to see the Walk of Fame. It is a stretch of Hollywood Boulevard where stars have a tile on the pavement with their name on it.  We were proud to spot our very own Charlize Theron’s star.

We then drove to the viewing spot for the Hollywood sign. We were not going to embark on the 2 hour hike to the sign. Very sorry!

It was a beautiful sunny day. We were really warm for the first time since we left SA! We drove to Griffith Park but unfortunately, the Observatory was closed.

Next was Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive. We didn’t do any shopping!!!!

And then, my darling husband drove me up to Summit Drive – pondokkie zone (as my family would call it). We didn’t bump into Harry and Meghan, but these houses make Clifton and Bishopscourt look silly! My word! There were Rolls Royces, Ferraris, etc parked in the street! And then we rounded the corner, and what was parked on the side of the road…..a regte, egte builders bakkie! So good to see!

Our final place to visit here is Santa Monica Pier. It reminded us of the Durban beachfront when we were children (it has probably changed a lot now).

Fun and festive! We had some supper and decided to Uber back. We had gone by bus, but it took over an hour, and we were concerned about changing busses in the dark in unknown areas.
