A few days in LA LA Land

Alright everyone!

Sorry these posts have been sparse... camp sites in America don't have much net access! We've finished the trek and are currently writing up everything we've been doing in the past 3 weeks... so stay tuned and it'll all be up here soon!

At the moment we're just chilling out in Los Angeles which is pretty cool. We are staying in the Banana Bungalow Hollywood, which is ACE! Chris, Beth, Wayne, Gemma, Tori and Jo (Hey guys!) from trek America stayed with us so we had a private room with bathroom and kitchen, and only $20 a night, which is really cheap. They also include free breakfast, BBQ's and parties!

The first day we got here we headed out straight down to Mann's Chinese theatre (where they hold the premiers!). We rolled up to the front to be rudely told that it was a cinema and we'd need tickets if we wanted to come in... first cinema I've been to where they sell tickets down the street instead of inside the premises but never mind. We went to see Ghost Town with Ricky Gevais. It was cool, a little bit cheesy but pretty good entertainment. It was amazing being in the cinema, its really beautiful inside, quite over the top and very opulent.

The next day we just spent wandering around the shops, checking out all the stuff we couldn't carry and deffinately couldn't afford! They don't really seem to do cheap shops here, Just loads of little boutique type places with clothes that are very over the top! In the evening we were lucky enough to get in the audience for the Jimmy Kimmel show. They have Rosario Dawson (Eagle Eye), Jamie Kennedy (Scream) and Gavin Rossdale (Bush, Gwen Stefanis husband
). It was all a bit of a set up with light up signs to tell you when to clap, and stop clapping, cheering etc but it was a wicked experience. At the end of the show we got to see a free Gavin Rossdale concert, then when we were leaving Rosario Dawson rolled up in a car and gave out free itunes music vouchers which was ace... shes a reasonably big star so atleast I can say I said hello to atleast one celeb!

The next day was pretty chilled with another shopping trip to get a shirt for a big night out in LA. We first went to a club where we queue jumped cos we had come from
England (tell everyone you see... they love it!). It seemed to be like a kids party though so we stayed for a few drinks then made our way to another club for an evening of dancing and drinking to the max. It was ace... but im gonna sign off now cos i'm currently trying to get over the hang over with frozen yoghurt and bit of web surfing!

More soon! x
