SOMEONE WAS KILLED!
Is what we thought on day 2 when we woke up to see the caution tape, but it was just the pool cleaners. We gathered the courage to walk to radio shack to get a power converter. It wasn’t too bad. On the way back we got a great photo of a poster.
Once we got back to the hotel we found out which bus to catch to Hollywood and were on our way. About 1 hour later we were finally there. it was hot and we were starving. We walked down Hollywood Blvd. and stopped at the maccas for lunch. Their burgers are ok, the patties tasted less soggy/steamed, they have blue powerade on their drink dispensers, which was a lifesaver on this hot day. The most surprising thing though is they didn’t even have aircon in their maccas!!!! wtf it was so hot and humid. Hollywood Blvd was ok. I expected it to be classy and glamorous but it was far from it, really trashey, lots of shops that sell trashey ho clothes. We went into ripley’s believe it or not, it was ok at first but got boring fast, just a bunch of silly stuff and stories.
Once we had enough of Hollywood we spoke to some locals and found out which bus to catch to Santa Monica. Another long bus drive later (about another hour) and we were there. Once we got there we realised what the guy at the airport said by Santa Monica would be a better place for us to stay. It’s really nice and clean, there is a jetty with rides and shops on it. I knew that it was the place to be when someone offered to take a photo of the two of us and i didnt worry about whether they might try to run away with my camera, heh. After dinner we had a wonder up Santa Monica Blvd and stumbled onto a really nice shopping/dining area. There were some cool dinosaur fountains and all the trees had light in them, it felt like christmas but not. We walked around there, had a drink and called it a night. The cab fare was $50 back so we decided not to venture out as far in the future :/
