Hollywood baby!
On our first day staying in LA we had the pleasure of experiencing their love hate relationship with cars round these parts. It seems that you need a car to do anything around here, including banking, eating, pharmaceutical needs and caffeine fixes, yet they don't allow you anywhere to park your pride and joy. As such the Pontiac was left out on the cold Hollywood streets, which needed a PJ run by Kate at 8am to put some dosh in the meter for 2 hours, what a joke! We decided to treat ourselves to a day of thrills at Universal Studios. First stop was the studio tour which was a tram that took you round the 'lots', allowing you to see studios and sets from films and TV programmes. The tour also included an attack by Jaws, a flash flood, a visit from King Kong, stumbling on to the plane crash site of 'War of the Worlds' (where's Tom?), a San Francisco earthquake, a look at Wysteria Lane, the Psycho house and Bates' Motel, and my personal fave...Jerry O'Connell's parking space (empty!). We were taken 'Back to the Future' in the Delorian, had a tour around Jurassic Park (the best!), went on the Mummy ride, and Kate had the crap scared out of her on the Van Helsing 'Fortress Dracula' walking tour. There were a couple of decent 3D and 4D films including Shrek, and possibly the best thing since sliced bread...'Terminator 2:3D' starring none other than THE GOV, Arnie, giving such powerful political messages as 'I'll be back' and 'Hasta la Vista baby'...only in America.
