Universal Studios 27/11
We woke to find today foggy.smoggy and overcast. After the awesome hot weather here yesterday - we weren't expecting this. We headed on back to the rental place in the morning, filled out an incident report, and swapped out the car... Same white Focus sedan... I'm a little more careful of the right side of the car.... It was great and a little strange to just swap it for a new one!
Anyway we were off to Universal - its a fair way from the airport - but with Shereena directing it was pretty good and we got there without any issues. The place is AMAZING and really fun... The rides were awesome, we did Van Helsing (a walk though house of horrors style), Back to the Future which was cool, the Backlot Tour (even Jaws after 19 years!!), Backdraft, the special effects thingy and Jurassic Park (that's all I can remember). It is a really fun time and the scale just huge... It was drizzling, then sprinkling, then raining - then it poured down! We had some clear ponchos (thanks Mum & Dad) so we were okay, but our legs and jeans got wet. We finished up at about 8pm or so... a long day!
You can tell Fox Studios was modeled on it, as Universal has cinemas and shops in a particular style that Fox has adopted.... Anyways lots to remember and lots to see!
On the way back we grabbed dinner at In-n-Out burger - then headed back to the hotel to change. We then went out and drove down Sunset Bld all the way through Beverly Hills & Palisades to the beaches. Along Ocean Drv (I think) then back on to the hotel after looking around. Everything was closed as it was after ten.
Anyway its late so I'm heading to bed.. Disneyland tomorrow!!!
Cheers, Nathan.
