First up today we hit up Santa Monica Pier.
Our taxi ride was an interesting one, the cabbie ‘anticipated traffic’ and thus decided to take us on a scenic route via Beverly Hills and Brentwood.
Although quite the bumsteer, it was good because we got to see parts of the town we had not previously seen before complete with his broken English commentary.
More shopping at Santa Monica Place
After this we headed across the street to the Promenade.
We
Looking for something decent to eat we found nothing …. OH wait look HOOTERS !!!!!!!!
I thought to myself …. ‘Yes lets go see some chicks in tight white singlets, orange short shorts, tights, white socks and white sneakers’ – ah huh i know the uniform.
We walked up to see a sausage fest full … no suprise but what was the suprising was the lack of girls.
There weren’t any ! Only fatties in black t-shirts…. What the f*ck ?!?
Needless to say we kept looking.
And Looking and looking.
We settled for a little cafe along side the strip where had a clear view of the local entertainment.
After strolling the Promenade and doing a bit of shopping we caught a taxi to Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills 90210. *Cat hummed the TV show theme song in the taxi*
You know you’re in the vicinity of Rodeo Drive when you start seeing these.
Done with Beverly Hills we head back to gay WeHo … literally Gay.
HOoray we were able to stay awake to have our first dinner abroad.
We had a reservation at Campanile
In the middle of Los Angeles, on a street that resembles the love child of Sydenham, Newtown, Marrickville & Petersham with a Godfather of Redfern.
You’d have South La Brae Avenue.
This is Mark Peel’s restaurant, a chef/judge on Top Chef.
After dinner we walked up and down La Brae Avenue trying to hail a cab.
I waved my arms at each and every taxi we saw while Cat got on the defensive ready to spray liquid hand sanitiser at anybody who came close.
Luckily one taxi finally pulled up kerbside just as we were about to be hassled by a drunk hobo African American (to be politically correct).
Picture a scene from the TV show COPS.
He came up to the window and started talking to the taxi Driver.
Bum: WHUrR ya fromm MAnNNnG ?
Driver: Kenya *soft spoken trying to avoid confrontation*
Bum: DoN’T Lie MAnnG, Tell me whur you from, ain’t no racism herrRre I love everybODayYyy
Bum: Tell me whuRr you From ! Nigeria ? Mogombo ? Nambia ? Mogadesha ? Morocco ? TaNNnZaniAa ?
Bum: Tell me whur you from !!!!!!!! Dont Lie MaNGg ! N*ggas run the WOrLD !!!
And after that he decided to barricade the front of the Taxi :S.
