We're Finally in LA

Hello out there.
Greetings from LA. After a long, long, long, long 12.5 hour flight from Sydney to LA, we have finally arrived. Most people didn't get great amounts of sleep on the plane, so we are all a little weary. Much to most of our suprises United Airlines flight UA840 wasn't to bad, and the food wasn't too bad either. Our flight over was spent watching movies, chatting, sleeping (for the lucky ones) and attempting sleeping. THEN.... We finally arrived.

So upon arrival, Alex had forgotten about a pear she had in her bag, hahah! We all got through customs, and set out to find out tour operator Jane, from here we boarded the bus to head off to the LA farmers market for some nice lunch, Milli had a hankering for Mexican, I had crepes as did Grant, Vicki, Jaan and Marg. The others we are not sure, bit of a wander at the farmers market, some did some shopping. Next, lets do some touring.

From here we continued onto Hollywood, and saw the sign, Manns Chinese Theatre (well not really because they had closed half the street because they were having an opening of some description. we saw the Kodak theatre (where they hold the Academy Awards), Sunset Boulevard, the list goes on.... Rodeo Drive, one mega cool thing was seeing the Worlds most expensive card a Borghetti that retails at 1 Million Dollars, it's crazy. We saw Charlie Chaplin, a man wearing a Bra, Darth Vader, we got some cool shots of the Stars in the ground and I (casey) jumped in a fountain thingy and got a tad wet. Cool, yet now I need to dry my socks.

We are currently at the Hotel just relaxing, much needed rest time. We have dinner at Hard Rock Cafe tonight. Then Sleep. Thank goodness.

Oh, and I have come to conclude that everything in LA has a strange smell to it. I can't quite pin it down.
We are having a super time. Just lacking sleep.
