Travelling with CaRe: Day 6 – First day in Los Angeles

First of all: Los Angeles is an amazing city. Being in the United States everything feels bigger than what you are used to. That is what we noticed before we came to Los Angeles. Here, everything feels even bigger. It is just huge. You can't believe how rich some of the people are over here until you have seen all the stretch limousines and Porsches, Ferraris, Teslas and Maseratis. Whatever sign of wealth you can imagine - here is where you can find it. And we are still driving our rental car by ourselves...

Having said that we started our first day in Los Angeles with a car tour through Hollywood. Right after that we parked our car directly on the Hollywood Boulevard and walked along the world's famous Walk of Fame with all the stars of movie actors, singers and whoever else is considered as a celebrity. Overall, the Hollywood Boulevard was crowded with people and also with a lot of tour bus companies competing for customers. Walking along this Boulevard felt like a scene of a movie. You think you will never walk this way in your life and in that moment it just feels unreal.

Right next to the Hollywood Boulevard we also found a good photo spot from where we could see the Hollywood signs which are put up in the Hollywood Hills.

Our next stop after that was the Griffith Park. It is a green space which is situated a little above the city so that you have great view of Downtown Los Angeles. Apart from that this park seems to be used by locals mainly. There was a small children's train and pony ride.

After having seen Downtown LA from above we went down to there and made a little car tour through all the sights located over there. We saw historic downtown and the glittering skyscrapers as well as little Tokyo and Chinatown. Chinatown Los Angeles is much bigger than the one in San Francisco.

We ended our day in Santa Monica which is on the Pacific coast of Los Angeles. It is a very lively city and the 3rd street promenade is the place to be if you want to spend an evening with fun and entertainment. There were a lot of street artists and nice little cafes and bars. During sunset we went down to the coastal line and enjoyed the romantic atmosphere.
