We received a very warm welcome in Los Angeles: our flight was long but pleasant and immigration into the US went smoothly. The FlyAway bus took us directly into Hollywood where our hotel was located only 50 m next to the bus station (this is essential, because we needed to carry our bikes in the cardboard boxes...) and around the corner to Hollywood Boulevard and the Walk of Fame. Of course we shortly checked out the famous stars on the very same evening before sinking into bed! We started the next day with donuts and coffee and then took the metro into Downtown and visited the Disney Concert Hall building. Afterwards we drove to Santa Monica by bus (it literally took > 1 hour) and enjoyed lunch at the beach and a tour on the pier. At REI (Recreational Equipment International) store we bought our bear vaults, which we will need only further north, but we prefer getting accustomed to using it already from the beginning. Back at the hotel it was time to assemble our bikes and to our most pleasant surprise, all equipment made it safely over the Atlantic – we are ready to go!
