What a Rollercoaster time we have had in Hollywood so far. We arrived last night, completely worn out from the two flights (NY>Philadelphia. Philadelphia>LAX). When we landed, we had to pick-up our tickets for the return journey. One got printed, and before the other two could, our Barlcaycard said “NO!” So after an irrate call to Barclays, we decided to call it a night and go to our hotel. We had booked into a cheap place in West Hollywood and were looking forward to going to sleep. But oh no. Oh no. Not knowing Hollywood we had booked somewhere that was really really…well…not nice. It was not the best first impression of Hollywood we had expected. So we sat in the room, trying to find an alternative hotel. Luckily we had only booked two nights at the motel so we were able to cancel our second night, just live with the first night and find a new place. That night we booked another hotel (The Holiday Inn) which is very nice and a far cry from where we were before. So we’re happy, comfortable and safe now. This morning we ventured out onto the Walk Of Fame on Hollywood Blvd. It is just so lovely and inspiring here. It is so warm too. I want to stay. We went along trying to see who we knew (on the stars) and who we didn’t. Before long we thought ‘right, we have to make our way to our new hotel’. But Hollywood is not a ‘walking’ place. It is just not done. Everyone drives; I know this might be hard to believe for our British readers, but there are even shops and restaurants that are ONLY drive-thru! Crazy! So we were about to try and get a taxi when Stephen Fry called. Out of sheer kindness, he came and dropped us off at the new hotel .

After checking in, it was time to meet John, a Reality TV Producer regarding a very exciting new prospect. He drove us down to a famous diner where we feasted on burgers, corn dogs and chips NO I mean fries. After the meeting we came back to the hotel and just a few minutes later we were off out with Stephen Fry. He showed us around the place. All very nice. After coffee and ice cream and a little drive around Beverley Hills he dropped us off back at the hotel and here we are now.

Soon we’ll get something to eat and then tomorrow we’re doing some filming with the TV Producer and perhaps some interviews. I’ll let you all know.
