Thursday 6 June - Decide to do the Hollywood Walk of Fame to tick it off the list more than anything else. It’s extremely touristy and tacky but to be expected. We walk past the Chinese Theatre, Ripley’s and Tom Cruise’s star (obligatory photo below) before escaping back to Sunset Boulevard for some lunch. We stop at IHOP and realise from now on we will sharing a meal between us as they are enormous!
Griiffith Park & Observatory
With the intention of watching the sunset from Griffith Park Observatory, we head out there on foot and get half way before deciding to get a Lyft instead. We’re glad we did because it’s a steep climb and we had another five to six kilometres ahead of us. Unfortunately the golden hour never showed so we stayed for a quick walk around the grounds and a look inside the planetarium before heading back down the hill on foot. We stumbled across a deer on the side of the road and Steph subjected her to many photographs.
In the end, we enjoyed the walk down more as we got to see all the prestigious homes with immaculate gardens along the way. It was also crazy to see the incredible damage the old tree roots had done to the pavement. By suggestion of our Lyft driver, we grabbed a bite to eat in Los Feliz before heading home for some much needed sleep.
