Finally the Last day and L.A tour Apr29

All staff, crews and officers get together with the captain for the one last group photo.

Long beach where our grand voyage ends.

We decided to take ship's tour.
It is a half day tour of L.A down town, Holywood and Beverly Hills.
The tour bus will carry our luggage and drop us at the airport about 3pm.
We were under stress as our luggage becomes 4 suit cases and 7 carry-on bags.

We, as a tour group, were allowed to disembark about 9am.
It was very sad moment to leave the ship for the last time.

Olympic stadium.

L.A is the only city in the world that hosted summer olympic games twice!

This is where Michael Jackson last performed.

This is one heck of beautiful and strange looking building.

Olvera Street.

The oldest street in L.A

This building is supposed to be the oldest in the city.

Hollywood!

Parade of stars in front of Kodak theatre where the Oscar ceremony is held.

Marilyn Monroe is my favourate star!

Inside the Kodak theatre where the red carpet is laid for the big awards ceremony.

This is something new and nice!

Hollywood sign on the hill can be visible through the big gate!

I am on the road to stardom! hhh

According to the legend(I mean, our tour guide), one can become a big star in Hollywood if one lies down on this casting couch.

Greg doesn't look so comfortable on this hard couch?

Grauman's Chinese Theatre

Via Sunset strip, our tour bus was heading to the airport through Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills.

One of the world's most luxurious shopping districts, Rodeo Drive.

Beverly Wilshire Hotel where 'Pretty woman' was filmed.

Tiffany & co.

Famous Beverly Hilton hotel where big Hollywood stars hang around and is the home of the Golden Globe Awards.

Our luggage at the L.A airport.

And, there were more!

Computer bag and a bag of boxes of Panama hat from Equador!

No wonder we were worried about checking in to the airline?

We still have more than 6 hours to kill at the airport.

We bought internet service for 24 hours.

I spent about 5 hours to post and update our travel blogs while we are waiting for our flight.

We barely managed to find spaces for our 7 pieces of hand carry bags to put on the airplane.

Entire flight of 15 hours with airbus A380 was rather good and went relatively quick as I watched 2 movies after 8 hours of sleep.
