hollywood, we are back

Tuesday 28th July 2015
Well we arrived into LA at 6.30 a.m. and it was really cloudy over the entire sky.  Fast forward 30 minutes and we had cleared customs and immigration, had our bags and were on the Hertz bus heading to the car yard, with now beautiful blue skies all round.  Before 8.00 a.m. we had our sexy black Corolla and were on our way.  We drove to the shops and got a drink and something to eat and then drove up through Hollywood to the Griffith Observatory for a look.  Did a bit of a walk around and took some pictures and then hit the road for Palm Springs.  Its only about a 2 hour drive to Palm Springs and an easy drive at that.  Got to the hotel and the room was not ready.  Had to fill in an hour so we got some icecream as it was about 42 degrees, got to love DQ.  Got back into our room and had a lay down for a couple of hours.  It had been about 30 or more hours that we had been up.  Once up we headed out to dinner and then came back about 9.00 p.m. and went for a swim and a spa.  The pool was beautiful as the temp was still in the high 30's.  Then it was time for bed so we can try and get our sleep right and get exploring tomorrow.  Just a few pictures to wet your whistle!!

Hi Richard and Bronte,

What great weather you are having. We had a max of 12 yesterday so you would think that you were in a virtual heat-wave. Keep having a good time and enjoy yourselves. Will keep up with your travels now that I have the blog address.

Love Mum xxx
