USA, Los Angeles: The City of Fallen Angels


2 to 5 Feb 2015

There are many options to reach Los Angeles or Anaheim. I chose to take train as train usually punctual as no traffic jam and no need to be early at the station compared when taking flight. The Amtrak train depart at 12.00 and arrived Anaheim at 2pm. I did not stay at the city of Los Angeles since hotels are more expensive and i a bit worry on safety.

Journey on the train was pleasant. I bought unreserved seat as it's cheaper. There was free wifi too. Picture above was taken from inside the train, the beach is Salona Beach.

I waited at the wrong bus station as i'm a bit confuse with the bus provider. There are plenty options for bus. Lucky the bus driver lady helped me by dropping me off to the nearest station, which was close to the hotel. I just need to walk a bit more. Shukran.

Nothing much on day one. I have bought one day tour to Los Angeles and Beaches on day two. Day tour cost me USD55. Bus picked me up at the front of hotel at 8.30 am. Anaheim to LA took about more than one hour. The guide cum bus driver was really chatty. Showing all the interesting places and the film related to those places. LA really a fliming place.

LA Walk of Fame is one of must visit place. Tapi sekali dah la. Then the famous Hollywood sign. Salvado the driver show us upmarket shopping area where you can only go to the butique by appointment.

Then we stop at the famous Farmers Market for lunch. Lots of option here if you can eat anything. I had fish and chips which is just average.

After luch we headed to Beverly Hills and Santa Monica beach which was famous for its Bay Watch and Beverly 90210 drama series. Nothing much, but lots of tourist bus stop here. I think if you have intent to shop, there  are also shoppi g area, just walking distance.

The tour ended around 7pm. Exciting plan for  Day 3.. to Disneyland. The tagline says its 'The Happiest Place on Earth'. Betulkah?
