Saturday morning and we are up early again, this time to go see the "HOLLYWOOD" sign. After travelling for about 20 minutes we located the closest possible location to see the sign. You can not actually get near the sign as it has a fence and security around it. We had a great location but the fog was almost covering the sign, the fog stayed all day just to piss us off. We tried to get closer but because of the fire last year we were unable to. We went back to the motel and left the car behind. As we are staying on Hollywood Boulevard we walked toward Hollywood and the walk of fame. Oh my god the walk of fame is more a hike! It went on for ages and ages, way to many stars on the ground. Had a look around at Kodak Theatre and the hand and foot prints of the stars in front of the Chinese Theatre. There are so many Souvenir shops in Hollywood it's not funny. We made our way back to the motel and then went for a drive.

We decided to drive to Venice Beach. No people in g-strings or speedos as the weather was a bit cold. We did find the Muscle Beach section but there was only a couple of normal people using it and no muscle Mary's. It was just like you see on TV and the beach was actually the location of Baywatch. On a hot day there would be an amazing amount of people on the beach, as it was cold (14degrees) I expected no one to be there, but there was a lot of people all tourists like us.

Last night we booked tickets to Universal Studios on-line and we saved about $35 each ticket than the gate price. So Sunday we are off to see how the movies are made.
