So little time and so much to do!
Day 3 - Tim and I really wanted to be tourists and just let our sense of adventure lead us through the city!
We walked from the Venice Beach Pier to the Santa Monica Pier which took about 45 mins! On this walk we managed to see so many.... different.... and unusual things! LA is a place where you can pretty much be anyone you want to be! And boy, do these people make the most of it! It kind of felt like walking through an Asian country market place - picture the hustle and bustle of people trying to sell you things but right on the beach front! We managed to see so many different and interesting people, selling anything from tattoos, to dried sage, feathers, shoes, marijuana - you name it!
Tim and I probably didn't speak for about 45 mins as we were just amazed by what we saw! After a huge walk we stopped in for a quick bite at a Santa Monica pizzeria, and then made our way to the metro bus stop where we rode the metro back into Hollywood!
Of course, you can't visit LA and not see the famous wax museum! And as a 3 for 1 special, we managed to see the wax museum; Ripley's Believe it or not museum and the Guinness book of World Records museum! One hilarious highlight was in the Guinness Book of world records museum - the man that holds the record for swallowing 14 swords was Martin Henshaw of California - and you will never believe where he broke that record....... FREMANTLE WESTERN AUSTRALIA!!! It's a small world after all!
TO finish off a splendid day, we caught a taxi right in front of the Kodak Theatre - let's just say after a very anxious trip, and a very scary conversation with an Albanian taxi driver, we made it home safely... just!
