The Adventures of Relic and Sikosis
Apr
24
Today we went to Universal Studios, it was a lovely cool day in LA with a top of 18C. At least, it wasn't raining like other parts of the US.

First off, we toured around all the backlot sets including going onto the set of Crossing Jordan (we even saw one of the stars of that show on a VIP tour with his parents). Got some great footage and stories from our tour guide Jeff.

We then broke for lunch, which was terrible. There is obviously money in this place, so as to why the food was so bad, your guess is as good as mine. The rides/shows that we went on/to were pretty cool, especially Shrek in 4D, Back to the Future and Water World (dubbed the no. 1 stunt show in the world). I guess they're still trying to recoup funds from it's movie failure.

Travelling the train system (Metro) was okay - rightly priced, but the lack of signage was certainly a let down. On our walk back to the hotel, we past Hilary Clinton and her mob trying to whip up the crowd.

We're now at CyberJava Internet cafe (about a block from our hotel) posting this entry. Unfortunately, the Lifedrive has been unable to upload the photos, so they might have to wait til we get back (or until I get a USB card reader).
