Hollywood and Venice Beach

Last day in US for a bit. Thought we'd go in search of that sign. Set off Griffith Park Observatory. You could get much closer but it involved a 4 mile hike there and we just weren't feeling it today!


Observatory.



Big telescope!

Hazy LA skyline.


Sundial

Spot the hummingbird.


Dont mind if we do!

Snake dogs and....

Scones!

Not a star in sight. Elliot did spot a golden Ferrari though!






Venice Beach.

Check him out.


An interesting mix of tacky shops, hip-hop, crazy folk, random dancing, super models, buff guys, tight shorts, medical marijuana huts, homeless folk and shouty people. The boys were a little perplexed! 

We escaped to the actual beach.

    1. Thanks Wendy. Bit if a shock arriving in Costa Rica last night. Weather was awful and we had a very interesting hour long taxi ride! All feeling a little overwhelmed. Sun is shining this morning and were off to find our beach side cabin. Miss you guys, take care xx

    4. Yes, dog number two knows it is master (and supreme ruler of the universe.) Who let the dog out?! Woof! Woof!

  7. Regarding the haze, a play on words: UCLA when the smog lifts.
