Tourists in LA

Today we acted like the tourists that we are. We took a bus tour all around Los Angeles to see the sites and take many pictures. 



SoFi Stadium a huge stadium in Los Angeles where the NFL Football teams play.


Our next stop was the Los Angeles Coliseum, home of two Olympic Games and the University of Southern California College football. Fans fill this huge stadium for these college home games and the stadium can hold over 77,000 people.

                                        



Here is the home of the Adams Family


The Hollywood sign and we saw the TCL Chinese Theatre where stars had their hands and footprints immortalized in cement. We also walked a bit of the walk of fame to look at some of the stars.




We visited the Dolby Theatre where many current shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent as well as the Oscar Presentations are held. We had to include a photo of Elvis's Cadillac for our friend back home.




 Next was a stop at the guitar center to see some of the guitars, plaques and hand prints at this place.

We past by CBS Studios, Fox Studios and then took a walk down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.






This actual home below was used for the movie Hanzel and Grettal.


Our final stop of the day was at the Santa Monica Beach and Pier.  We happened to find the real Hotel California.


This beach was massive, much larger than the beaches we saw in Australia.




It was a good day of touring.

Fiji Bula

When we planned this trip and have told folks about it, everyone said, oh wow, you're going to Fiji!!! Yes we are here. But let's be clear, we are not in the white sand beach area, with a room over the turquoise waters, we decided to stay closer to the airport, just  outside Nadi.  A little less expensive, but we are loving it. These few days are for taking it easy, relaxing and resting.                                                   Bula, means Hello, Welcome. Our resort is not shiny, large or fancy, but we have a great room on the 2nd floor, with a king size bed, a balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean. It's wonderful.  We arrived yesterday afternoon (Sunday) checked in and took a short walk along the beach.    It is hot here, not like the outback, but hot so after our walk, we had a drink and took a swim...

Wonders of Warner Bros

Image
Today was our last full day in Los Angeles. We decided to visit Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank to take a tour and see how movies and TV shows are made. Very interesting tour. We started out with a full hour with a tour guide taking us around this 110 acres full of 31 sound studios and many streets that have been used and transformed for many movies.  this little building was the comic book store on The Big Bang Theory! Many of these buildings are just facades, only the front is there, they really are not full buildings.  Some however are, and usually they have multiple entrances and doorways so the same building can be used for different scenes on different shows.  the house on The Gilmour Girls Next we visited one of the 31 sound studios. These are the warehouse type buildings that are completely sound proof when you go inside. We were not allowed to take pictures inside, but we did see the stages and setup for Bob ❤ Abishola which is currently being filmed. No to an...

Camping in the Australian Outback

Image
Our travels are well planned out long before we take any trips, especially one this long. Barb had told friends that we were even going to camp (glamping) in the Outback. This is why we are here at Uluru or as the English naming is called Ayers Rock. If you have seen any advertising about traveling to Australia, you would have seen the Sydney Opera House and possibly this large red rock / mountain in the Northern Territories of this country. We arrived the day before our tour which we like to do, just so we are not rushed. The hotel was nice and we even got to visit the local camel farm.  Shuttle bus runs continuously to take hotel guests around from hotel to hotel and this camel farm.  We started out on this tour when the bus came to pick us up in front of our hotel. We checked our larger bags in to storage with the hotel, because there would not be room for two large 50 pound bags. Our carry-on bags would be enough, after all we were only staying for one night. We felt this ...
