Day 6 – LA Tour by RastaBus

We jumped in a cab fairly early and headed to Santa Monica for breakfast at a place called Jinky’s. A true breakfast (& lunch combined) of champions! Grace was told but clearly hadn’t leaned about the size of American meals:

Afterwards we boarded a “RastaBus” for an LA City tour.

These guys were much better than the tours we had in SF. They showed us much more of the city, more knowledgeable, & just great personalities.

Venice Beach (originally modeled on Venice Italy, now with only 1 canal remaining – a real shame):

We called in to World Market for lunch. Here we split again. One sight of TopShop & Grace was in a trance.

Afterwards, we moved up into the hills above LA to visit the Griffith Observatory.

On the way, the Grizwalds house:

Then back down to Hollywierd. He we left the tour as our hotel is in the area and it saved a trip to Santa Monica and back.

A great day.
