Hollywood!

Last week Daniel had Friday off from school so we thought we would take a bit of a drive (it's about 100kms or so) to Hollywood and look around. We drove up as far as we could to get close to the Hollywood sign up very skinny windy hillside roads past some amazing homes and managed to get... this close. (You can't drive or even walk right up to the sign.
As we were exploring this particular bit of the Hollywood hills we came across a horse riding place. It was like being way out in the bush, but it's only 5 minutes from Hollywood central. There were lots of horses, some chickens and a few dogs too. It was a very unexpected but very cool find.
Ohh, isn't that nice!
Even the chickens have big hair!
We took a walk down Hollywood Boulevard 'cause Ali wanted to see the "stars". It's a sad stretch of city that's for sure. These stars on the pavement are as glamorous as it gets. It's a very seedy area and you almost feel sick being there. But at least I can say I've seen Jimi's star!

great, now you know the way there you can tell us how to get there. Simones counting the weeks, 10 I think.

Yeah, it's a big day out and you can probably count on getting lost once or twice, but that's part of the adventure!
