We woke up at the eco lodge after a good nights sleep. Since the inernet wouldnt work at the hotel we went to a starbucks this morning to drink some coffee and upload the pictures from yesterday. We later found out that Stefan was not expected to arrive to the airport until 12:40 pm but since we didn’t really have time to go downtown in the mean time we went over to the airport to wait for him there.
We sat down on another starbucks actually and drank some more coffee. I believe you can say that we are coffee people :p.
Stefan arrived after two hours of waiting and we started to head for the hotel in downtown L.A. I was driving the car and it took some time to figure out where to drive. At a few time points i had was driving in cicles trying to get back in the right direction. L.A is one of the worst places to drive a car in in the USA. I am so happy that we have a working GPS with us, I dont know what we would have done without it.
The hotel is really nice. Its an old Indian man and his wife who owns it. It was the cheapest hotel I could find and considering the location and the hospitality of the people it is just amazing. We pay ca. $65 / night and it takes 10 min to walk to downtown. They dont serve any breakfast at the hotel but the indian man asked us if we wanted some cereal and milk in the morning he would be happy to put it in our refrigerator for us.
After we had planned a little bit what we are doing during the time we are here we took a quick shower and started walking downtown. Its a nice city L.A but I have to admit most american cities always look the same in the core. The surroundings are different but the actually middle/center of the town is almost always the same.
We stopped to eat at an Irish restaurant. I had a vegeterian pasta and a cold Bud light beer.
