Sunshine and Malibu

It's the last day of the weekend now and we have to think about driving back to San Francisco.

Our guide book had the locations of the stars homes so of course we drove around Bell Air and Hollywood spotting the homes of the rich and famous. Amongst others we drove by the Playboy Mansion and George Lucas' ridiculously large residence - or it could have been a country looking at the size of it!

Afterward we drove down to Malibu to have a lazy lunch at Neptune's Net. It's a seafood restaurant right next to the ocean on Highway 1. It's also a favourite stop off for bikers so there was lots of mechanical eye candy to admire.

I did the drive home this time, taking Highway 101. It was an easy 6 hou drive with fairly easy traffic all the way.

Saturday was a Rap

Got up to a glorious sunny day in L.A.
Grabbed some food and some coffee and a glass of OJ
Then we threw on some threads and jumped into our ride
Dropped the top donned our shades and we started to glide.

We were headed for Melrose, are you ready for this?
We were welcomed into the pink store owned by Paul Smith
The merchandise is hot and it makes me look cool
I'm looking so slick now I could hang by the pool.

So now we're stocked up with shirts and it will soon be time for food
But before that happens we head up to Hollywood.
Driving through the streets the cribs be all looking fly
But we ain't seen nothin' yet as we climb toward the sky.

Baby lookin' whack as we walk up the hill
It's like a scene from Columbo, it just doesn't feel real
Still, we wanna make the most of the neighbourhood
So we can't spend all day in Hollywood.






We stop by our ride for a bite of lunch
Antonella had some sandwiches - it was kinda brunch.
We called two of our Homies and arranged to meet
It went down behind Melrose in a quiet street.

To Live and Drive to L.A.

Left work early today to drive down to Los Angeles for the weekend. Shopping will be high on the list of to-do's! Antonella did the six hour drive down in the night so we could check in to The Sheraton in the Downtown area.

Tonight we'll be staying in a room that isn't exactly what we ordered but the check-in staff have given us Free breakfast for 2 days and Free parking for 2 days to make up for 1 nights inconvenience. - Result!

We still got a king-size bed and all the facilities too.
