Roadtrip kick-off in Hollywoooood

So we are finally on the road but first the boys had to say goodbye to Ron and Ginger. I think they all we're sad because the landlords were really nice and South-Mission was a beautiful place to stay for half a year to study. Cant say no an apartment at the beach by 30 meters!

Here are the boys and the landlords.
We started the day with breakfast at The Mission, a great place in North Mission and me and LM bought pancakes!! I mean, of course we had to try the tradisional american breakfast! A good breakfast, but it was way too much to eat.....! Anyway, we've now officially started the Pancake Tour of America!
We went on speed-sightseeing and saw Coronado Island, La Jolla and the seals there and then we went to Mount Solidad and checked out the view over all of San Diego before we started the
trip to LA. This was to show Runa and LM San Diego, as much as we could because that was the only day they could see the city.

In LA we stayed on a hostel called Banana Bungalow for two nights, which was nice enough. All seven of us had a dorm for ourselves so we had two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom that only we shared.
The first night we celebrated the first day of the roadtrip with a glass of wine or beer at a very nice restaurant. The next day we went to that nice spot that me and Lars found the last time we were here to see the Hollywood sign. We fooled around a lot and took some funny pics. LA isnt complete without seeing the sign!!
After that we went to the Hills (Beverly Hills) only to see if we could catch a glimpse of some celebrities. We ate lunch at a expencive restaurant called the Ivy where suppousibly all celebs and rich peps go hang out. Unfortunately we didnt see much famous people but Lars and Runa are sure they could recognize a lady and i think all of us thought we recognized her in the end, (probably cause we just REALLY wanted to see a celeb) but we never found out what her name was haha.

Then we saw the Chinese Theatre like any other tourist and on this day it was the grand premiere of Toy Story 3 so the Hollywood boulevard was closed off for the red carpet. Unfortunetly we were in the Hills at the time when all the celebs came to the premiere BUT after seeing the Chinese Theatre we went at the back of the premiere-local and YES; we finallly cought glimpsES of celebrities! We didnt see many but we saw Nikki Blonsky (Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray), we saw the girl from the Jonas Brothers TV-show, Chelsea Staub, AND we saw the main star of the whole movie: TIM ALLEN!!!!! haha, yeeeey!



















We all had a great time here but we found out that Los Angeles is a little too much if you are planning on sticking around for a longer time. All the glam and celeb-hunting can tire you out haha....
