Day 16: Los Angeles

Today was soooo tiring, oh my god.

I woke up at 9 and the hostel has free pancakes, but you must make it yourself. Fuck, I'm actually such a bad fucking cook. Hahah, I know the trick to flipping a pancake is to not flip it too early, yeah I made sure I didn't do that.  But there was the gooey stuff at the top that wouldn't let me flip it! Ugh. It became like a pancake sandwich, it was thick as. I had two slices of raisin toast too and I smothered that shit in syrup. Yay.

I did a tour with the hostel to get as close to the Hollywood sign as possible. Fuck sake, the 1 hour walk up steep streets in Hollywood Hills was draining. The one time I chose not to wear shorts.. Biggest mistake. We reached the summit and it was such a great spot. We went back down, an hour later, and I wanted to do the Runyon Canyon so I didn't waste a full day tomorrow. 2 other hostel peeps decided they would join me which was good.

We walked down Hollywood Blvd and turned right on Fuller. However, before that we all got a bit hungry. So we all got a slice of pizza each for $2.75. I had tomato, cheese and pepperoni. It was so fucking good. I felt so guilty though. We proceeded to walk in Runyon Canyon Park where people were doing yoga. Ah, I really wanted to do it so bad. We did the hike and walk the circuit which was like a 6km trail, and once we reached the summit, the sun was setting in LA so we decided to stay a bit longer. You could see Hollywood hills, the Hollywood sign, downtown, and Hollywood Blvd, all at the same time. It was great. It was steep as though.

We ventured back to the hostel where I had a Double Chocolately Chip at Starbucks. That was fucking shit as. Never getting that again.. My next choice is a Green Tea Frappucino.


After that we ventured back to the hostel where I was gonna meet with the new friends I made to go to LA Gun Club and do some shooting. We got the metro and took a taxi. It was quite scary going downtown. Imagine George St from Event Cinemas to Ivy or The Rocks ridden with homeless people and tents literally next to eachother the whole time. Our taxi driver told us in years he had never driven to the part of town he wanted and that it was filled with gangs. The guys were in another taxi because there were too many of us, and their taxi driver told them his finger got shot off at the area and that the jail was a block away. He alerted them that no cab driver would come to pick them up. Shit. And our cab finished in an hour. At first me and the girls were still down to do it and we got out the car and the boys who I thought were heaps macho and masculine were saying we had to go back. I was laughing and telling them to grow a pair and then I saw the cab drivers face. He was serious. We went back which tbh was a good decision. It felt way too unsafe and not to mention someone committed suicide there two days ago. Nope. Better safe than sorry I say!

Instead we went to In N Out burger where I had a cheeseburger and animal fries which had cheese, onion and mustard. It was so good and I devoured that so quickly. I also tried Dr Pepper thanks to my new friend Jeanine, who leaves on Thursday. It tasted like cherry coke but I didn't like it much. This German old guy keeps hanging around us and his sense of humour is fucked.

We went back to the hostel where I spoke with 3 new Aussie guys who are HOT AS FUCK. And straight. But still they're so hot, and they live in Epping. And I went to my room. 2 hot new Swedish guys! Ugh why can't I just be an easy hot girl and have all their pieces inside me!

Budget:
$20 taxi
$7 sign tour
$10 Starbucks and lunch
$7 dinner
= $44.
