Morning all (it is here anyway, it’s 6.53am).
We’re off for a look around the Laurel Canyon area this morning, no plans for later. We’ll see where we end up.
Yesterday was a full on and interesting day. We started off with a walk along Hollywood Boulevard to have a nosey at what was being prepped for the Oscars.
It’s not as glamorous as it looks
The place where they stars are photographed and interviewed is a large scaffolding and tarpaulin structure in the road
But…because the street was closed for this we had to take the signposted detour through the inners of the theatre where it the ceremony is held and part of that little detour meant that we had to walk on the red carpet
From there we went to have a look at the Hollywood Bowl, we thought we’d get a sneaky look from the grounds as it’s in a park but you’re allowed to go in and just sit. It’s was good to see. From there we headed to Hollywood Reservoir, a pretty area with a great view of the sign.
We drove through Beverly Hills. Wow!
It was then time to head to the Warner Bros studios for the tour we’d booked. We’ve done it before, you’re driven around in an open sided bus which holds around 16 people. Bit different yesterday as there was no one else waiting for a bus when we were, probably because I’d booked us into the final time slot of the day, so it was just the two of us and the tour guide so we sat in the front chatting with him. He took us into a couple of closed sets in sound stages and also in some houses used in TV shows and films. We got photos sat on the Friends sofa in the Central Perk set and since the last time we were there the set from The Big Bang Theory is also on display so we also got photos in Sheldon’s apartment (if you know the show, I sat in Sheldon’s spot
).
Have a good day all
