Los Angeles - Blogabond

Los Angeles traffic has a notorious reputation, with freeways that have eight lanes going in one direction and marauder drivers zig-zagging past you at lightning speed. Therefore I was slightly nervous as I approached the city. Hovever, thanks to using a GPS (one of the most brilliant inventions ever!) I had no problem making my way to the youth hostel in Hollywood.

Krista, one of the girls I had met up in Santa Cruz, came down to visit for the last three days of my trip and we had a really nice time together.

Together we explored some of the many things that Los Angeles has to offer, such as Hollywood boulevard, Beverly Hills, Mulholland Drive, Silverlake and Santa Monica.

This is me on Venice Beach, on the last evening of my trip. Despite being in the middle of November, the temperature was comfortably warm. I think this picture sums up my whole feeling that night. There is an element of sentimentality, knowing that my journey has come to an end and that I will soon be back in rainy London having to look for a job. But there is also a feeling of great happiness that I have had the chance to experience such a friendly, exciting and beautiful country. It was a great adventure for sure.

I hope to be back soon!
