Well Whats good enough for Frankie is good enough for me, I'm going to Hollywood

Sometimes things don't go as planned,my little message i recieved was met with a little fustration but also a big nice one yeahhhhh.A reload hadn't materialised so i was told to book a layover, fair enough, i had an inkling this might be the case but thought something would of been sorted so i hadn't made any plans.So here i am in LA near Hollywood,BeverleyHills etc,do i
No1, stay and polish the truck all day.
No2,Just have a lazy day
No3,Get my ass downtown.
Well you can imagine what the answer would off been,  a little arranging needed to be done,one lose the trailer,and how to get downtown.So after  quick chat with the manager at the truckstop who had no problems with me dropping the trailer,i then decided to drive down to the nearest Metro line dump it in the Parking lot and get the train into Hollywood.Thats what we did really simple and really cheap as well $6 for an all day pass.So first things first Hollywood Blvd, The walk of Fame we've all heard of it and seen the pictures i go a few pictures along here Micheal Jackson's was surrounded by all his still grieving fans,but there was 1 i particularly wanted to get a picture of as requested by LadyPen,  Her idol Patrick Swayze.Looks like im coming back here again as well me thinks LOL.We hadn't decided on doing a tour etc but when a guy asked us if we were interested in his for $20, for an 2 hr tour i thought it had to be done.There we were been whisked around Beverley Hills been shown all the houses of all the rich and famous and all the film locations etc,just to name a few Arnie,Adam Sandler,David Beckham,Tom Cruise,George Clooney,even the great Dr Phil even though it was abit choatic it gave us a little idea of where places were so it was pretty good value.Our trip also took us down the Famous Rodeo Drive, Sunset Blvd
Santa Monica Blvd,and up close to the HOLLYWOOD sign in the hills.
After our tour was over we  decided to jump back on the metro and head off to Union Station and downtown LA again.I took an abundance of photos to many to put on here but i thought i would expalin the ones in which ive selected,The house opposite was the one used in The Fresh Prince of Bel  Air,The Saddle Ranch was owned by Patrick Swayze,TheGreystone Gates were featured in the film Rush Hour With Jackie Chan,Arnies houses house with statues of presidents all over the place,The House with the big Black gates is where Micheal Jackson last lived there are still tributes left there.I could go on and on and not wanting to bore you any more better finish now,i see your all flagging, maybe tomorrow i will get a load and normal service can resume not sure what that is anymore Lol, we'll see.
