San Francisco Trip (Day 6) - Off to Los Angeles!

So looking forward to visit LA!! Cos it's a capital of entertainment! Hollywood, Universal Studios, Disneyland are all in LA... thought that i would have trouble falling asleep the day before i depart for LA..

But no problem at all.. cos the night before Mr Li and his friends, together with me when to have a late night movie.. so by the time we reach home and pack our luggage..we were so tired. 

Departure from San Jose Airport
Anyway we arrived very early in the morning at San Jose Airport to take our domestic flight to LA. It's just 1h 15mins ride... Domestic flight airplane are really really small and cramp. But for a short journey, whose going to complaint. I would rather pay slightly more for the air fare than to drive 6hrs to LA (From SF).

Once we touch down LAX, we went straight to Hertz to collect our rental car for the week, which i've already prebooked at SG. Collection was a breeze, thanks to the self check in machine. Thought the total cost is quite high because Mr Li is yet to be 25 years old and i didn't have my liscense with me.. so we were charge with a underage fee.. But since we're on vacation so we didn't want such cost to spoilt our mood.

 The first destination we made is to LA's Original Farmers Market!! When there to have our lunch and look around.. Alots of food stores, selling exotics foods and organic nuts and fruits too!

looks yummy!
We had our first lunch at LA... Order Turkish food. Seems quite nice cos there's alot of people queuing up. Following my Singaporean instincts. I think this store must have really delicious food. Next i ordered Clam Chowder soup.. We really miss the clam chowder soup that we had a Fisherman Wharf. 
Our lunch for the day...

Overall, my experience at LA's Original Farmers Market is quite an eye opening. Many foods stores and the food that they have are quite unique. Can't seems to find it in SG...

After a nice lunch, went to the nearest supermarket to purchase some snacks and drinks.. Esp water! I think i can't drink USA water even if it's boil. Anyway the weather at LA is almost the same at SG. It's quite warm but occasionally when the cool wind blow its quite pleasing.

Its time for us to check in to our hotel! Was quite pleased with my choice of hotel. Everything looks good and its quite safe too. Thought it's abit small.. but i think it's just nice for the 2 of us.











































After checking in, we took a short break cos we are too tired and poor Mr Li who is my driver for the whole trip needs to take his power nap. And after we replenish our energy our fun filled packed evening starts.. It's time to go visit Hollywood's Road of Frame..


Keep an outlook on my San Francisco Trip (Day 6) Part 2
