Hollywood! Tacky but has to be done! We've walked the boulevard from end to end to see the "stars" some of who we have never heard of. Imogen has just been let into a little secret and is very excited to be going to Universal Studios tomorrow ;-)

This is the California we have been waiting for - white sands, palms trees and HOT!

The Big Sur is tomorrow which is supposed to be the best bit, but in whose opinion!?
