Simply Fantastic

Today was simply fantastic. Once of the benefits of being in hotels is that you have so much more time and all the preparation feels so much more relaxed. We started the tour off by taking a look at Rodeo Drive, the posh street that featured in Pretty Woman. We didn’t spend a lot of time there because let’s be honest, who wants to spend a lot of time in a place they simply cannot afford. After Rodeo, we headed to Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills was exactly what I imagined. Everything was perfect. All the tree’s lined up perfectly, and were the perfect shade of green as was the grass which was perfect too. The houses were all humungous and each looked quite similar to the other. After Beverly Hills we went beyond the tree’s to Hollywood. I was able to see the Hollywood walk of fame and even managed to get a good photo of the Hollywood sign. We then headed to Santa Monica which was absolutely beautiful. We strolled along the beach, had some delicious Thai food and we were then ready for our next stop.. Yepp that’s right, the day goes on. Our next stop was Calico, a famous ghost town and it was phenomenal. It was so hot yet so beautiful. From the moment the tour guide said go, I practically sprinted up the mountain. The view was amazing and well worth it. Carol and I then payed $2 to do an old mining tour which really tied the bow on a fantastic day. We then headed to our Hotel in Laughlin called ‘The Golden Nugget’ where I saw wild racoons for the first time. I keep thinking it doesn’t get any better than this but it just keeps getting better.
