California: Los Angeles

Well we finally made it to LA. After 1800 miles and a lot of fun we got back to where we started in one piece. Here is a view of downtown LA from the Hollywood hills.

This is a shot of Beverly Hills. behind us was a burger van. So now we know how the rich and famous live. Well I am guessing that it was all the under paid workers...

I dread to think of how much the houses on this road cost. So much you can't even see them.

Here is the famous Hollywood sign and the infamous superman pants. Why do I do this to myself.

Here is is unspoilt

Outside the Kodiak theater they have all the foot and hand prints of the stars. Who a thought he would come back as the governor.

You can find anything in LA....

From past stars

To giant hot dog cars

And cool old cars

We stopped off at Rodeo Dr on the way back. All I could afford was a picture of this arse...

You don't see cars like this down on the high street of Dronfield.

We did have time for a big beer though

So this is the end of the California post, was it good?

California: Santa Barbara to LA

Almost done with the California photos. I have been so busy lately and the blog has suffered but I am going to make a serious effort to try and make it up. Here is the last part of our journey down the coast. Thought this was a classic.

I actually took this out of the window at a stop light. It turned out pretty nice.

You wanted superman pants. You got em. I am whole heartedly apologetic to the good people of Malibu for debasing their sign. Well maybe...

I tired to capture some real scenic beauty but didn't want to fall off the cliff.

These cars were actually being road tested and they had cloth covers on it was really strange seeing them in convoy. We had actually taken a wrong turning at the time but it was fortuitous.

A classic baywatch shot for you. Take note of the surfer in the background towards the orange flag on the left.

A not so classic baywatch moment. We got to Venice beach and literally just as we set foot on the sand this crazy fog just descended. Well I wasn't gonna let that spoil my chance to swim in the Pacific ocean.

Although the real bay watch had to be called.

Only joking it was some boating accident. I assume everything went OK as they weren't really rushing.

I just really like this photo of the playground at Venice beach

Crazy people, gotta love em.

Here is a rare photo of a freeway in LA where cars are moving and it is daylight. I spoke to Andrea about driving in LA and she said there is about an hour if you are lucky when it isn't bad in the daytime. Somehow we found that hour.
