MONDAY!!!

Today we left our hotel in LA in the morning to head to Hollywood Boulevard and the Walk of Fame. First, we visited the famous wax museum “Madame Tussauds”  and  we had the chance to meet most of our favorite celebrities (from Johnny Depp to Lady Gaga and so on). Then we divided in smaller groups to spend our free time walking around and discovering many attractions. For example The Chinese Theatre with multiple actors’ footprints and handprints in front of it. We also visited the Dolby Theatre where the annual Oscars are held.  Most of us had fun trying to find the stars of their favorite celebrities in the Walk of Fame,  that goes along Hollywood Boulevard for many miles. Our group had the chance to get a henna tattoo representing the globe with California written under it. Other people went shopping in one big mall near the main attractions.

After that, we headed to Beverly Hills aka our future home. We took a group picture in front of the Beverly Hills sign and then we were given free time to seek for any possible living star that could be shopping around. We walked in front of the fanciest stores in the world such as Prada, Chanel, Dior, Vera Wang and so on. We also took a picture in front of the hotel where the movie Pretty Woman was filmed.  It was also possible to see fancy cars driving around (there was a Bugatti parked in front of a store!!!!!!!). Some of us had the chance to meet a nice chauffeur that drives around VIP and showed us pictures.

We finally got back to the bus to see Santa Monica and its beaches. Some of us enjoyed the sun on the beach facing the waves, getting tanned or playing volleyball. Others went shopping in the little store of the Santa Monica Pier or enjoyed the little Pacific Park provided with a roller coaster and some other attractions.

To end the day in the best possible way we had dinner near Santa Monica, in an American-Italian restaurant called “La buca di Beppo” that was definitely filling and tasty (and we have some Italian approvals!!). The party continued on the bus on our way back with most of us jamming to popular hits and what can we say… it was an awesome day and we are looking forward to having another one tomorrow in Disneyland. 

From Cali with love <3
