Hello!! If you have been following my travel diary then you will know that I have been away recently to America if not surprise!! If you want to read the other two diary then click here for the San Francisco blog or here for the Vegas blog..
Where did we stay?
We stayed at the Quality Inn in Hollywood. I will admit when we booked this "motel" I was so worried, a motel in the centre of Hollywood that is very much open to everyone (not making any assumptions but I have watched some films in my time). However upon arrival I was stunned that all the pictures that used matched what I could see, the room was lovely and spacious, clean and had a comfy bed! They also had a pool too which was pretty small but never too busy and always kept clean with clean towels! They also offer complimentary breakfast which we were either up too early for or too late!
Favourite Trips, Excursions and Places?
The Hollywood sign- I am one of them people that is all about the views so the thought of having a view of the whole of Hollywood made me so excited. I can confirm it is everything that you imagine and more. Us being us however made up our own route and ending up climbing over dirt tracks, rocks and bushes to get to main road.... I was so mad, don't trust a mans directions ever girls. After about 10 arguments and me almost crying like Kim K and 2 hours later we got to the top here is the view!
Disney Land- Kinda. I absolutely love Disney so I am not going to not mention it and I really did enjoy myself and I think the food and atmosphere always adds to the experience too! However it is no Disney Land Paris or Disney World FL. The only thing I will give them points for is Cars Land, the theming there was absolutely fantastic. If you are a die hard Disney Fan then 100% go, however if you are just going for the sake of it I would maybe try another theme park.
Venice Beach- You're probably thinking it's just a beach wrong! There is so much character there, its so lively and always things going on. There loads of spots getting played, loads of places to eat and drink lastly it is very clean!
Regrets?
- Not doing the Universal backstage tour
- Not doing the TMZ celebrity house tour
- Only Spending 2 hours on the beach
- Booking very little before arriving
