For our first day in Los Angeles we followed the trail of thousands of other tourists taking the tour in Hollywood: Chinese theater / Walk of Stars / Hollywood Boulevard. What a joy to be able to have their picture taken beside the star Britney Spears impersonator or Rambo. Only downside, I had to look beautiful, can not find the stars of Francis Lalanne, Marie Laforet or Yvette Horner. Maybe they have their records not yet crossed the Atlantic.
After a meal and In'n Out, the fast food world's most probably simplified, where choice is limited to 3 menus: hamburger / cheeseburger / double cheesebuger + choice of beverage. However, it is probably one of the best fast food where I could eat, I recommend. Rise in the hills of Hollywood by Mulholland Drive, a scenic route that allows a view on a stunning all over Los Angeles and the Hollywood sign, among others:
Back in Beverly Hills, which gives printing through another world. That exceptional homes on streets lined with palm trees, where those who run "that" Mercedes should be throwing stones. Unfortunately neither Brenda or Kelly do not go out jogging that day they probably too busy watching reruns of Melrose Place, and I think it was dressed up as we had getting caught for a team of gardeners all over the neighborhood.
Late afternoon on Melrose Avenue (still no Brenda or Kelly, it would be the time of Beverly Hills ..) and dinner in the evening on the patio of a restaurant in Santa Monica (j 'I made grilled salmon for those interested.)
Pictures of the day:
You Money?
found little sign at the corner of a visit to shop on Hollywood Boulevard. No doubt about the legality of the threat. (Translation: Do not take a picture with trophies or face a fine of $ 50)
Award Statuette: $ 11
Getting his picture taken with the statue: $ 50 Ask
change for a $ 100 bill: priceless
I hope for the price we can at least take the statuette after that.
And yes it's official, there is a crisis for everyone. Even Snoopy has to go to work in the morning.
And do not think you'll escape Wonder Woman!
Here is one that does not fly elbow. (and fortunately for the planet besides ..)
This picture might seem trivial like that, but by zooming in and a few filters, we realize the interest of cliche.
Hollywood has a happy, godzilla found his star.
The history of the world's most boring.
note, I want to tell my audience in search of thrills and excitement, the story that follows is long, probably not very interesting, and you may want to recover 5mn from the wasted life to read this passage, then I warn you before.
far it has not really gone wrong on this side of the Atlantic apart from a big fuck when we arrived in Los Angeles with the car we had rented. Avis arrival around midnight Saturday night to retrieve the car they had rented with ebookers. And there can not take the car, it's me who has paid with my credit card so booked car in my name, that does not permit (yes mom, I am enrolled in school self, do not worry ;), no desire on their part to try to find a solution, and we Sunday in France, can not be contacted ebookers. It will end up renting another car for the day, time to join ebookerslundi. Sunday midnight local time on customer service ebookers oak, punctuated first call of "no sorry, can not make any exchange, if you want I'll cancel it, and we reserve one?" "And what is the interest to cancel?" "No, but I rented another car then!". I would semi hangs up after the fourth "sorry sir, there is no other solution, your money is lost" and no willingness on his part. I remember hoping 2mn after falling on qqun else, and that's where I fall on Julien (first name that I shall learn later) to be by far the person most accommodating and pleasant to whom I was able to deal so far. He confirmed with a certificate from the agency believes that it has not actually removed the car, there is every chance that I do pay rent. It was decided in the meantime to change the model car and take a SUV (4x4) but impossible to book the car on the website, since it must take 24 hours in advance. Julian on the phone will try everything so that we can have one right away, by forcing a "false" French time to reflect the shift. Already on the road to make the car go in time, you can not read my email to print the voucher, but no problem, Julian is responsible for finding the fax number of the agency and they send them directly to the have when we arrive.
Arrive rental agency, after a short stop (see following story), can not find the fax ... or rather the key to the reception room of the fax ... 10 minutes later, found a key, no fax, we decided to wait a little longer. I even remember when ebookers acquired pa conscience, to give them the fax number. I found a pleasant operator who wonder who I had the first times (I did not know his name was Julien at the time) and it is with the description "a young man competent and pleasant voice" that I find Julien, and she will confirm that has sent the fax, and received acknowledgment. We are still waiting for a moment, and my phone rings, it reminds me of Julian personally to see where we are, and I confirm it is doing everything possible to try to send them the fax. wow.
Finally, the fax arrives, she looked at my reservation and told me ... "It's weird, actually your reservation does not require this voucher. OooOI \u0026lt;bitch, fortunately, had you watched before pa. 30 minutes waiting for nothing. We finally upgraded to take our vehicle. Unfortunately, it would be too simple as it remains there, since we discovered this morning that instead of returning the vehicle was more like Las Vegas the first booking, but Los Angeles .. still a shit to pay .. Stay tuned and thank those who I have not erased their favorites after reading this story, it will not happen again.
"I want more"
On the way to go to the car, Kangoo we had already warned several times that he pepper had eaten at noon was about to take effect, and to be polite, to liquefy his burger lunch. Forced to stop at a gas station to refuel the car, Kangoo see this as an issue, and while we try in vain with greg to pay with our credit cards, kangoo will happily jettison his meal lunch in a dark corner as the last of the homeless.
Moral:
you not take the gold? we will pay in cash then. Behind the fence.
