LA
LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles

If feet could talk, yours would be complaining right now. They’ve traipsed up and down the boulevards of Hollywood and through the exclusive boutiques of Rodeo Drive, taken you on scary roller coasters at Universal Studios, and the day before that they hit Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade for some serious retail therapy and the famous pier. Tomorrow? Exploring the space shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Centre then off to Venice Beach for some of the best people watching in LA! Admire the street art and stroll the super cool Abbot Kinney, here your feet will get a break while you sample some delicious Californian cuisine. What a trip – poor feet, lucky you.
