The fridge in Hollywood
It's a slightly odd feeling crossing the date line from New Zealand to Los Angeles and going back in time. It's even odder being sleepy at 7pm and awake again at 3am. The hostel I'm staying at for the night is the Hollywood International Hostel (as hostels go, it's pretty good - clean beds and showers, good amenities - but I wouldn't stay there more than 2 or 3 nights) and it's actually on Hollywood Boulevard (yeah, the road with all the stars in the pavement). First impressions of L.A. and Hollywood? L.A. seems pretty cool - it's massive, but then it is the states. Not that impressed with Hollywood to be honest, but I think having seen all the places I've seen on this trip, it's hard to live up to the movieworld dream.



In a few hours I'll be back on a plane to fly to Heathrow. Hollywood was COLD last night - so cold I could see my breath - god only knows how I'll cope with the UK weather!!
