Day 1

This is a picture from our hotel taken first thing this morning. As you can see, the sun is not shining on LA today and it's apparently the first cloudy day since January. Ah well... We have had an amazing day. Slept very well despite our proximity to the Freeway (glad I brought the earplugs although bed is so comfy!) and woke up at about 8am for a very hearty breakfast consisting of spinach and mushroom omelette. Then we hit the road with Alex T at the helm and Alex W attempting to work the satnav (more complicated than you might think!) We drove up through Hollywood and to Mulholland Drive and then Runyon Canyon - in torrential rain - pretty awesome views though... Oh it seems that I can only post 1 image at a time. Will do another post. In the meantime, see
