Today I'm sharing part six which is the very last stop of our honeymoon travels around the USA.
After New York, Louisville, New Orleans, Las Vegas and San Francisco our last stopover was a very short flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles, California.
After New York, Louisville, New Orleans, Las Vegas and San Francisco our last stopover was a very short flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles, California.
This was just a 24 hour visit before we flew back home to Australia and we stayed at the really funky Farmer's Daughter Hotel which I picked because it was close to where our tour would pick us up from at the Farmers Market in Downtown LA. The bar, restaurant and pool area was awesome too. I wish we had more than one night at this hotel as it was one of my favourites.
Then we went on a half day Legends Of Hollywood Tour and we were the only 2 people on the tour for the day which was interesting! The tour was on a small private van with a TV screen showing the movie scenes of places as you drive by them and the driver tells stories and points out all the interesting places as he goes as well - it was a really interactive tour.
From Downtown LA we drove around town, into the Hollywood Hills to see the homes of the rich and famous and a photo stop near the Hollywood sign.
Then onto Beverly Hills, Sunset Strip and Rodeo Drive, and all the sights seen on the movies along the way. Unfortunately there were no celebrity sightings for us that day!
I would have liked to go down to the coast and driven ourselves from San Francisco to Los Angeles but we simply didn't have the time to do that ... maybe on our next visit (I am already thinking about what to see on our next trip to the USA!)
The next day we caught two long haul flights home back to Perth and what should have taken 23 hours of flying ended up taking 30 hours which was not pleasant I can tell you! Because of the delay I did manage to get a small refund from the airline Cathay Pacific though which was good!
So that was our three week honeymoon adventures around the USA .... I loved every part of it - the people, the food, the culture and history, the sights we saw and the things we did, we have many memories and moments to smile about it was an amazing honeymoon.

Wow! 30 hours in the air is a lot... We are going to Italy next month and I'm dreading the 8 hours! I really hate flying, tho. I have never been to California and we are considering it for next summer, we'll see... It is usually 2 flights from St. Louis and not one, but oh well! What a neat tour you went on and I love those rubber ducks by the pool!

Australia is soooooooooo far away that's the problem! 8 hours is a pretty good flight just put on a movie, grab a vino, and you'll be there before you know it! Italy sounds amazing I can't wait to see what you get up to on your travel adventures :)
Delete30 hours of flying!! That's a lot. Glad you managed to get a small refund. Thanks for sharing your honeymoon pics, sounds like a lovely time x
ReplyDeleteIt was way too long but it always makes you appreciate home all the more when you've been away :)
DeleteAhhhh. The memories! Gotta love the LA tours. It all feels so posh and famous.
ReplyDeleteIt's corny but it has to be done!
