Fri 24 Feb
Took Peter and Lesley to the Great Central Market for breakfast however the line at Eggsluts was three time as long as yesterday so we all had egg and bacon sandwiches this time. We then walked down to the nearby Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing to see a display of film costumes. These were current Oscar nominees and other costumes from older films.

We then took the red line train to Hollywood - it was not quite as tacky as the online reviews made out, but almost. We saw the preparations being made for the Oscars as well as hundreds (almost literally) of souvenir stores. Picked up an expensive snack at a sandwich bar before heading back towards our hotel but stopped for a coffee and free wifi at Demitasse. Coffee was very bitter.

We picked up our luggage from the hotel and walked 15 minutes to the train station where we rested in the first class lounge with snacks, juice, etc. Eventually boarded the train and sorted out the luggage needed for this small sleeper room. Derek, the porter sorted out our fold down beds while we had wine in the snack bar. Found it very difficult to sleep in a train even though we had a full length bed.
