• Los Angeles

    8. november 2022, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    It started raining quite heavily at night at our spot for the night about one hour before Los Angeles. The precipitation also said that there will be more rain coming today but that can change 😅 So we made our way to the trailhead near the LA hills with the Hollywood sign. The trail is more than 10k with quite the elevation but a slow elevation change so we were up at the sign within an hour and by the time we arrived there the fog had cleared and we got great views over the city. Afterwards we went to see the famous Walk of Fame at the Hollywood Blvd. together mit the Dolby and Chinese Theaters. The weather was still nice and it wasn't as crowed as we were expecting, so we had a nice time strolling along the boulevard and spotting famous names. We did a little driving tour around Beverly hills and the most famous avenues.
    Then we took a look at some art expositions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and finally we made our way to the famous Santa Monica Pier. It was nice for a bit, then it started pouring down, so we decided to grab lunch at one of the pier`s restaurants. It stopped raining, so we went to our last stop on LA, the Venice beach sign. After a photoshoot with Ruedi and the sign, we made our way out of the city, with the hope that we'll beat the rush hour, but LA never rests, so we drove through the traffic for a couple hours in direction of one of our last stops in this USA chapter: Joshua Tree National Park.

    The weather was overall pretty intense today, when we left LA there was a flash flood warning for the area and then heavy rain and storms on the drive. So we were rocked to sleep by strong wind gusts on Ruedi.
