LA

So we spent couple of days in LA in May and did all the typical touristy things. Not very adventurous I know but we wanted to stay with family and visit other places in California so our visit was very short. 

We stayed at Days Inn Hollywood Near Universal Studios. This hotel is walking distance from Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Walk of Fame with number of fast food places to eat. We parked in hotel parking so that was very easy. This hotel is in a very good location but there are many homeless people around and we were warned to stay on the main road when walking around at night.

On our second day with a really bad jet lag we decided to do Movie stars homes tour  which lasts around 2h but it's a great of going into the Hollywood Hills and seeing beautiful houses (a bit stalkerish I know but it was really fun). We also drove past many movie locations and Pump (I absolutely love Lisa Vanderpump!).
 

I used to watch LA Ink so it was really cool to drive past the tattoo shop.

 

We then spent the afternoon at the Universal Studios and that was just really fun. I've never been before so I really enjoyed it :) We bought tickets online before we left for the USA and got a $20 discount. There were no traffic jams or busy parking lots so we got here very quickly and had a really nice relaxing afternoon. The rides are amazing and tour of the Studios very really fun.
