This morning I woke up in the hotel feeling pretty good. I was definitely on the mend, and with Vegas only a day away I really needed to shape up. Mat and I had decided to splash out and order room service, so I lazed around the room in my pyjamas until it arrived. I opened the door to a massive trolley and the happiest Asian man I’ve ever met. I was still relatively new to the whole tipping thing, so I grabbed some change but he refused to take it. He wished me well, then left, leaving in his wake he had left us an amazing hotel breakfast. On the mend from the flu, and with a full and satisfied belly, I was ready to tackle the day.
After showering and dressing we met everyone downstairs for our first full day in LA. We had decided to go straight to Hollywood and get on a jump on/jump off bus so that we could cover the basics of the city, and yet have the freedom to jump off where we saw fit. After buying our tickets and boarding the bus (it was a double decker but with an open roof – yes, THAT kind of bus), like cool kids we headed straight upstairs, and for the back seat. Back seat rebels!!
