Everybody goes to Hollywood*

Tuesday.
Since we didn't manage to catch a bus from Malibu to Hollywood yesterday, we're going there by RV today. Can't really visit LA without seeing Hollywood Blvd., can you?

I don't really remember the exact location of the Walk of Fame from 6 years back, and since there's a handy parking spot on the corner of Sunset and Fairfax, we need to walk a bit. Time to admire the beautiful flowers which seem to grow and bloom at ease over here, while in Germany it is sometimes pretty tough to get them to survive a winter.

At La Brea, we finally find those famous stars on the sidewalk. Really touristy, we're reading the names of those persons we know aloud. Try our feet and hands on the celebrities' prints at Graumann's Chinese Theatre. Take our picture with the Hollywood sign in the back at the Kodak Theatre. Not really touristy: We don't buy a single souvenir *g*

The walk back to the car gets a bit annoying as my feet hurt from new shoes and blisters and we're trying to walk a bit faster than normal as those 2 hours of our parking spot have run up. Don't want our RV being towed away in the middle of LA...
But it's still there, no need to worry. And I am finally returning to my comfy Brasilian flip flops or havaianas.

We're on the highway again, left Los Angeles behind. Highway 101 winds beautifully along the coast. Between Valencia and Ventura we marvelled at lemon and orange trees growing along the road. In Summerland we finally found a post office to mail our postcards home and had some delicious burgers. Some 80 miles still to go. Our navigation system says 2,5 hours. Let's see.
