LA View

View from the Griffith Observatory roof.

More Stars

Last stop of the day was Griffith Observatory. It's a very interesting place and it has great views of the Hollywood Hills and LA.

I See Dead People

So the next stop was the The Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery where they have lots of famous dead people such as Walter Matthau, Merv Griffin, Mel Torme & Marilyn Monroe.

It's in the Can

As a souvenir of the tour they let us take an empty film canister, so Catriona took one from CSI Miami.

Car Pool

They fill this car park up when they film sea shots like with The Truman Show and Star Trek IV.

Paramount Studio Tour

Today we started out with a 2 hour tour of the Paramount Studios. It was quite interesting and although we didn't actually see anyone famous they did let us onto a live set of the TV show Everybody Hates Chris.

Manns Chinese Theatre

Just around the corner from our hotel is the Hoollywood walk of fame and Manns Chinese Theatre.

Room View Two

Here's another view of the Hollywood sign from our room. OK, so it may be zoomed in at 18x but you can still see it!

View From the 14th Floor

Asked the guy at check-in for a view of the Hollywood sign, and we got it, although in this panoraamic picture it's not very easy to see.

Hotel Number Four

This time it's the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles.

Santa Barbara Pier

Notice how there are no railings or anything to stop you falling over the edge.

Santa Barbara

Today we are mostly driving down to LA. Stopping off briefly at Santa Barbara.

View From the Room

It doesnt get much better than this!

Hotel Number Three

This time it's the Kon Tiki Inn. Nice room on the second floor with a fabulous view!

Morro Bay

It's just a big rock with nothing on it!

Kipping in the Sun

This one kept still long enough to take a picture.

Coastal Sea Lions

Loads of the things, all down the beach. They spent most of the time flicking sand on themselves and having rucks with other Sea Lions.

More Mountains

Theres lots of places to stop and take photos.

Driving Through Big Sur

Unfortunately there was lots of driving to do and no time to relax. I did fill up the car with gas though.

Mountains

Picturesque mountains on the way down the Pacific Coast Highway.

Big Sur

Well we think it is. Tomtom intenery doesn't make any noise when you drive near a waypoint, so we might have driven past it.

Jack Rabbit

Caught a glimpse of a Jack Rabbit, just before we left Marina Dunes.

Day 3 - Before we leave Marina Dunes Resort

Just enough time for a quick race around the resort in the golf cart before we have to return it.

End of a Busy Day

Well we're knackered and off to get some food!

Our Patio

The Room has free Binoculars too, how cool is that!
