10am we wake up. I can tell you it must be done to sleep in a car in the morning until 10am, I mean you really that comfortable.
Visit the Old Town typically English. Well it's actually a very small village that is classified State Historic Park. We really feels like a small English village to be found in the deserts with the house painted terracotta color flashes with small fountains round, of course full of small shops that sell homemade trifles.
Good said that in 1h is flared.
Then we drive to Los Angeles. As one way, we find the plugs on the road. Los Angeles is really hyper extended. So to get to our destination, it is rather long. Moreover, due to the low density of the city (very wide but very few buildings) and the extensive use of the car, is created in Los Angeles persistent cloud caused by the exhaust and industrial emissions. A little research on Wikipedia explains that once a certain threshold is exceeded, an alert is issued by the authorities of the city travel by car are then limited to the minimum necessary, and factories must stop burning hydrocarbons. That is why since 2006, the city undertook drastic measures to achieve a reduction in air pollution by at least 45% in five years in transport and equipment.
Finally we arrive at the hostel. No parking problems. Details
to park in the U.S. in large cities. If you go to hyper centers, you'll pay for sure, but several solutions: large parking (covered or not) to pay the day parking fee at the big time (do not be fooled) or so places with parking meter (1 per space parking meter or so for a portion of a street).
Then if you stray a bit to park and then you move by bus or on foot, you have streets with parking meters OR, and there it will be free, the streets that you will release a specific day in the week for a duration of 2 hours so that the city clean. There are signs indicating that on the sidewalks. If you Do not move the car, it will be shipped and of course it will cost you money.
short at the hostel we must move the car four days later between 10am and noon. So no problems. The hostel is nice, it's a house adapted to the hostel. The novelty is that there is no way to close the room key. The only security is the video surveillance system installed in the lounge and kitchen as well as the close which makes them responsible for theft in the rooms. Me I find it a little crégnosse but hey, it seems there is never any problems and we, we have not had. We then moved
we go on the bus to Hollywood Boulevard.
Nothing very special set for this street to share the Walk of Fame (stars with names of celebrities from the entertainment industry), with the famous star of stars, the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, El Capitan Theatre and the Kodak Theatre where the Oscars given annually film. So we took some photos of the stars of interest (I did not find Bill Murray). Then we start walking towards Sunset Boulevard. Well aside from the beautiful cars, hotels, restaurants, gyms luxury, there is not much either in my opinion. And then walk it's not really good alternative. Finally in the evening we return to our bus stop. On the road in front of a restaurant called'm famous, we meet the paparazzi who announce that a star is eating and they expect it so for the "shooter". So we also expect :-) Maybe this will be Madonna ... Once out, it is certainly not Madonna, but we do not know, it seems that she is here. In evening dress and of course accompanied by a man she does, after a short interview on the sidewalk, slipping into his car, driving, and more than one ... Prius (which the valet brings him). Well said, so even the stars are ecologists :-)
Finally we return to the hostel for a good night in a real bed!
