HOLLYWOOD

Our flight left on time at midday. 13 hours, and many inflight movies later we arrived in LAX. LAX has 8 or 9 international terminals, so I'm not sure if it was just our terminal, but it was the most shabby airport I have seen. We got the third degree from customs, as they couldn't understand what kind of partners we were. He kept looking at the guitar as though we were musical partners.. We arrived at our hostel at about 9 but couldn't check in til 1, but they locked up our gear and gave us tips on where to go. We found this shopping area which was pretty cool, but also found out we would miss a book signing by Mario Lopez a.k.a AC Slater from Saved by the Bell, so were pretty gutted. We then wandered to Hollywood to look at the sign and star walk, and on the way saw a squirrel in some palm trees. Cute. While in Hollywood we got hassled by countless people trying to sell trips to stars homes, film locations, and haunted stars homes/film locations. While walking down the star walk, we came across a crowd of people so we joined them figuring someone was getting their star. It turned out it was John Stamos, so we got to see him and some of his Full House and ER friends which made up for all the people hassling us. It was probably about 27C and we were out until 1.30 with no sunscreen and didn't get burnt at all, so will be looking forward to having a normal ozone layer and therefore tan, for once (come summer).
We then came back to our hostel and checked in, had a nap and shower then went to get some pizza, which turned out to be the biggest most delicious pizza ever. YUM!
