LA!

I arrived early in the morning with not much sleep. But I at least saved some money and time by taking the overnight bus. I wanted to check into my AirBnB and agreed on an early check in but my host wasn't reachable when I arrived. Turned out she was sleeping and her husband muted her phone over night. I called AirBnB to help me and they originally cancelled the booking and gave me a 45 dollar compensation and helped me to find a new place to stay. When I started walking over to a hostel I found, my host from the last place called me and told me I could check in. So I just went back to her place because it was only 50 meters away from the Walk of Fame! At least I still have the compensation!
After a coffee I felt better and headed over to look for my star on the Walk of Fame. Couldn't find it... weird... well Donald Trump has a star right next to Kevin Spacey.
Because LA is so widespread I wanted to take a ride on a tour bus to cover the main sites. But all of the agencies were so expensive offering 2 hour rides for 50 to 70 Dollars... I passed a shop which looked little sketchy but a guy in front approached me and asked if I wanted to join his tour. It was 50 dollars. But he told me tha he wanted to fill up his bus and that he would give me a last minute price of only 25 dollars. So I just joined that hoping for the best.
The tour bus was an old van of which they cut of the walls and the roof creating a cabriolet! Interesting idea and great for that sunny weather! The tour guide was a black guy who took is around Hollywood and to Beverly Hills! He was really funny and I enjoyed the tour so much! So the price wasn't bad at all!
Later I got dinner at the Farmers Market which has lots of great food stalls. Look at the picture with the food sign. I was quite surprised to see a German sign for French Fries in LA. And everybody in the shop was talking Spanish...
