The city of Angles


Wednesday on to LA

A relaxed journey allowed as time to stop and explore Prismo Beach as a detour on our journey and time to take a paddle in the Pacific Ocean (the cold Pacific Ocean) before arriving at our RV park in Los Angeles as it turns out on “Route 66” this RV park besides catering for the tourist campers like ourselves also has a resident population of movie industry professionals such as Sound technicians, Session musicians, and other technical staff along with small part Actors is next door to Occidental Studios.

Thursday it’s really hot here.

We had been warned that the weather in LA was hot and it was but this didn’t stop us exploring the city Los Angeles is still very much in love with the car and as such public transport away from the main routes is very thin on the ground and in the 90 to 100 degree heat waiting for a bus which never appeared was not pleasant, but with the help of David the owner of the site we got to the “metro” station, this Bendy bus runs on it is only road cut through the middle of the city blocks before transferring to the tube for us in the city centre. We got there and were able to explore parts of Hollywood and part of Universal Studios getting picture with movie characters on the walk of fame and enabling Esme to visit not one but two “Hot Topics” a cloths shop which specialises in her taste in fashion.
