Los Angeles Day 1 (Part 1)

Los Angeles – 26th May

Today we arrived in Los Angeles for the start of what turned out to be an eventful day. Following the fiasco of being immigrated in San Francisco, we decided to leave the ship early to avoid a repeat. We disembarked at 8.00am and went straight through the biometric immigration procedure to the cruise lounge, where we were able to access a free WiFi and downloaded our emails and Skyped Elsie and Nicola. We had an enjoyable hour catching up with the news and seeing young Cian (who we think still recognized us).

We then joined out coach for our excursion LA Highlights and Hollywood Homes. We drove into Los Angeles, approximately 45 minute drive, down a six lane highway to board our open top twelve seated mini bus for our two hour drive round downtown Los Angeles.

After viewing Los Angeles sights we drove into Beverly Hills to drive past the houses of the rich and famous. We say houses, but the majority of places we could see were just the security gates.

Ringo Star’s House

David Beckham’s House

Madonna’s House
