Tour of the Star's Hollywood homes
We opted for a morning tour of the Star's homes in Hollywood hills and Beverly Hills. There are a number of companies offering these that leave pretty much hourly. You'll be put in a bus and driven round for a couple of hours past people's houses. There are no photographs of these as while the stories and locations were interesting to see most of the houses have large gates and trees which largely mean the tours pretty much a drive around. You can maybe walk away with a view that you have been breathing the same air as all the people you know in the movies!
Our guide was quite funny insisting that Hollywood is blessed with "paradise weather", "exotic birds" and was an "earthquake zone so was prone to rock falls"
Warner Bros Studio Tour
The Warner Bros studio tour was a 4 hour experience which takes you through the set, wardrobes and functioning sound stages. You wont be taken where filming is going on but they take you to the set's of interesting and familiar programs.
The tour takes you through the process of filming and give you an insight into it's extensive history. Its an informative tour and the experience is largely driven by the guide's level of knowledge and how s/he holds you attention. The tour is expensive but worth doing especially if you are a Friends fan!
Back to Santa Monica
I couldn't get enough the previous day so i dragged the family back to Santa Monica beach with the objective of getting in a sunset. We arrived a touch late as the sun had gone down but the sky was still lit up with the hues of the setting sun. Dinner was at one of the many restaurants around the Santa Monica district.
