Day 46

So, it's our last day before we fly home. How sad, never mind. Today we started with look at the Santa Monica pier, and then did a self driving tour of the "Stars Homes" in Beverly Hills and Bel Air, there are some mansions in this place, and we generally could not see much, though true to form the biggest one belonged to Hugh Hefner, whilst Aaron Spelling's house was massive, there were heaps of others too, though we didn't dare pause to pick from the money trees they have in these suburbs. Heaps of Mexicans must live here too as they were everywhere mowing lawns and trimming hedges.

We then battled the LA traffic again to Beverly Boulevard and Melrose Avenue to do some more...SHOPPING! To be honest Melrose was actually rather cool with a heap of retro gear, I got myself a spiffing shirt.

So now I sit in the Koru Lounge knocking back Coronas and thinking about the Lions prospects in the NPC. Must almost be home time.
