Hollywood

Now we have a grip on the bus system, it's time to buy a day pass. At $1.50 per trip it's cutting into our daily budget so we can save a fortune by getting a 'daily'. So off we go to the underground station where we are confronted with a machine. Luckily a young English girl (woman) is there to help us buy our two daily tickets at a total cost of $12.

Then we're off to Hollywood by bus in search of stars, and possibly a lead role!




En route Heather finds (another) 99c store and a junk store. The 99c store is a supermarket and items cost 99c. The US is cheap compared to Oz. The junk store has a great web address www.thisisnotikea.com.

When we arrive at Hollywood Boulevard we discover that it consists mostly of spruikers for tours, souvenir stores, adult shops and eateries. Even the souvenirs are cheap...and made in China.

Indian food for late lunch and Heather's pleased with her chicken tikka salad and lassi. Jeff had chicken malai, vegetable korma, rice, roti and Kingfisher.  Total cost $23.82.


So it's two buses to Hollywood and two bus rides to get home. You do the maths. Was the day pass a bargain or not?

    Heather says that each trip would have required us to have 3 x $1 notes which we didn't have.

    I to couldn't help but look at the web site. The first thing I noticed was that there were plenty of 'director chairs'. And a safe on wheels, i guess for a fast getaway with all that bus money.
    Maybe the $12 'daily' was an April fools joke!!!!
    Las Vegas and the jersey boys. Have $10 on the red for me. Cheers
