Hello all. Can't believe another week as gone by!!! This week we were in LA. Wow what a place!! Like every other city we just fell in love with it straight away! Especially when the Hollywood sign was outside our Motel!! Plus the added bonus of very hot weather!!
Day1
We arrived late in the afternoon so we took a walk down Hollywood Blvd, walked on the walk of fame, saw the Kodak theatre ( where the Oscars are held) and also the Chinese theatre where film premieres are held and also the famous hand prints. This was ace with batman, pirates and Rambo walkin
g around in costume!!Day2
We got a map of celebrity homes in Beverly Hills so we took the car, put Courtney Cox's house in the tom tom and headed off!! ha ha lol. We drove around Bev hills (as we call it now) saw Becks, Sampras and Jenifer Aniston's ho
uses just to name a few. We also went to where OJ Simpson killed his Mrs and lover (allegedly) and drove past the crime scene of the Marline Munroe death.. very good. Massive houses we can see why everyone goes there to live. Its funny them all being neighbours...
After the drive we went to Rodeo Drive where all the rich and famous shop. We found a free parking garage which ended up being Valet Parking - our Toyota looked a bit out of place with all the RR's and Ferrari's - "Take it easy bud we've only got 3rd party" as I chucked the keys to him over the bonnet.lol
After this we went to the Hollywood sign. Parked up and went for a walk.. Reading later the house we parked outside was Tommy Lee's!!!
Day 3
We walked down Hollywood Blvd to get a tube when we noticed tha
t a film premiere was on. We walked down and it was the film Kung Fu Panda. Guess what... we saw Dustin Hoffman and Jack Black.. loads of paparazzi and news crews.. it was another pinch your self moment. Anyway after this we took the subway to Long Beach - which took ages!!! We felt and looked out of place in our beach gear and everybody around in gangster rap clothes..."don't start stuttering Rich they might think you are rapping and kick us in!!" Long Beach was good though and we even walked on the Grand Prix track, had lunch in the marina and then went back after sun bathing.Day4
Well this day was supposed to be on day 2 but we slept in!! So we went to Universal Studios... The thing is the thing was on fire the day before and part of the studio set was gone !!!
! We couldn't believe it. We still had a mint time seeing where they filmed Jaws, Desperate Housewives, and Bruce Almighty just to name a few. We then went on a few rides- (The Simpson's one is mint!), saw a few shows including a special effects show and a movie animal show with Archie the monkey!! its was a good laugh. We then had tea in Bubba Gump Shrimp.Day5
We had another beach day this time in Santa Monica. Then decided after to hit the town and have a few beers around Hollywood. It started off well but because we haven't drunk that much we had to call it a nig
ht as Amy felt a bit rough. We were in a taxi going down Sunset Blvd when we had to stop in the middle of the road for Amy to be sick - everywhere!! People were driving past beeping and shouting all I could do was ask the taxi driver why he had one sandal in the front seat - because his driving foot gets swollen!!! ha ha lol. All in all it was a good night and spoke to a lot people who kept us giving drinks just because we're EnglishDay6
Amy stayed in bed all day!!!! I just walked around. It turned out that a Russian cage fighter was staying next to us. I bumped into one of Ozzy Osbourne's mates.. don't know how we started talking.. That night we both drove around Bel Air where Arny lives. This was like Bev Hills and even had a gate to enter the area. Then we called it a night.
Next stop in LAS Vegas.. Can't wait
Hope Everyone is well
All Our love

Now then team RA.
Great to hear from you last night, you are both certainly living the dream to the full. Sun tans are coming on well ready for the ranch!
Yee Haa! have a great time and we will be thinking of you both in our typically british summer weather!
Lots and lots of love to you both

Team RA,
It has made my afternoon to read your updates on the blog.
Your adventures bring back many memories of highway one... Santa Cruz really is a 'none chav's Blackpool’ we used the same description. Did you notice everyone is really toned??? Never felt more British in my Speedos.
Your parents are right the sun tans are coming on a treat. However, I couldn’t find Amy's impression of Britney anywhere on this site!!??? Too bad, maybe it’ll be in The Sun next week. I’ll keep you posted.
Hope you’re enjoying Las Vegas as I write this. I went to see a show in New York, New York called 'Zumanity...' A must if you get the chance... ;-)
Are you off to San Diego?
Nothing much to report here. Euro 2008 starts today and strangely feels rather unimportant. A mighty shame we aren’t there and not currently enjoying the usual flag waving and bullish pre-tournament talk. Stamford Bridge football had their annual presentation night yesterday. Chris won players’ player of the year, with Tank getting the managers award for the seconds. Jimmy and Acko won awards for the firsts. Monday night footie is still a laugh. We’re second with about six games to go. Fingers crossed we’ll finish second as it doesn’t look like first place is really achievable anymore.
Right, I’m gonna sign off. Good to read all the travel gossip and keep the updates coming. Team RA’s adventures are definitely ‘hot news’ here in Yorkshire. Keep up the good work....
