It was a slow start to the day with me trying to decide what to do as I feel very low on energy. I think my body is telling me to slow down but I'm not sure I listen to it very well. After not knowing what to do I decided I would just make my way to Universal City and do a very touristic theme park experience.

I left the hostel and made my way down the star lined street of Hollywood Boulevard towards the metro station. Most of the shops along here are tattoo parlors or souvenir stores with multiple tour operators in between. In the metro the first thing I noticed was how bilingual everything was. All signs and announcements are in English and Spanish.

Once off the metro I jumped onto a shuttle which took me to Universal City where I had a little walk around before making my way to the theme park. Lucky for me it's a Monday so it wasn't that busy and I managed to enjoy all the rides without many queues.

I headed through Springfield and did the studio tour where we had a look at some of the sets before going through some 3D experiences which just showed me the scale that everything happens in here. The rides where great fun with most of them in a virtual reality which reiterated how much this is used in the movie world.

After walking the park and enjoying the rides and feeling like a kid again I made my way back towards Hollywood Boulevard and had a walk around the Chinese Theatre and along the walk of fame. There wasn't anything that really caught my attention so I continued to Amoeba Records for a look around before heading back to the hostel. Here I chatted to some fellow guests over a few beers before getting ready to catch a limo for a night out.

In the limo we got to know each other and then enjoyed some drinks on our way to the bar. The bar was by far the highlight of the night as it had a mechanical bull! I quickly signed up to ride and the rest of the group joined me. The ride was fun a except for the landing when I used my head to break my fall.

We were on a time line so we were rushed back into the limo to head off to a club. The club wasn't that exciting (it was a Monday after all) so had a few beers and enjoyed some dancing before heading back to the hostel for another beer and called it a night.
