San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, LA

Hey, it has been a long time since we posted something, isn't it? We couldn't use the www the last days, cause we were travelling like real hikers. First we went to San Luis Obispo, where we stayed in a hostel (which was much more familiar as the previous hostels) We walked a lot in this village, trying to find "downtown", where we spent a few hours: we ate really good natural food in the "natural cafe".
The next day we took once more, a 'greyhound'bus, to Santa Barbara. There we hadn't booked a hostel before we left on this trip. So we tried to find something, we ended up in the State Street Hotel, where we got a room with 20 percent discount. While travelling these few days, the temperature got higher and higher (it's really hot here in Hollywood). In Santa Barbara which is a beautiful coast city, we walked on the pier, went for a little while on the beach, we walked around in the centre of the city, went for the second day in a row to the natural cafe. Later that evening we went to the movies and saw "the illusionist", a good, but a bit strange movie. Afterwards (after trying to get in and out of our hotel) we went for a "night"walk, which was really great.
The next day, which is yesterday, the 28th of august; we took the bus in the direction of Hollywood. When we arrived here, it was another temperature shock. We walked for the third day in a row with our heavy bags through a city. This time on the famous Hollywood Boulevard. Finally we found our hostel, located only 0.1 mile from the chinese theatre, Kodak theatre, walk of fame,... We bought ourselves a citypass (50 bucks) and did two of the four attractions that evening. We did a two hour tour with a van, that guided us to all the homes of the celebrities here in the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills. After eating, and going to the Wax Museum (citypass), we did a long walk to the sunset strip, where we saw a lot of famous places where celebrities hang out,...
Today we started our day (after going to Starbucks for a breakfast) with a Redline Hollywood Tour; we saw a famous acting school, the egyptian theatre, el capitan theatre,... Then we took the metro to downtown LA, where we saw the civic centre, little tokyo, chinatown,... Then we headed back to Hollywood, got ourselves tickets to be in the audience of a tv show. So at 6 PM we waited to get in to see the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. Some famous guests were there; Pat Green (grammy nominee),... It was an amazing experience, as is whole this trip!

TTYL, Kurt and Vincent.
