Studios, Studios, Studios




Wee bit tired but we just had to take a trip to Universal Studios. As well as being a theme park, it's a fully working studio (they were filming Desperate Housewives during our trip and at least one movie) so quite fascinating as well as fun.

Lunch today at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. This is insane. It's a chain of restaurants loosely based on the Forrest Gump movie. Great shrimp, odd concept. Dinner at Cafe Tu Tu Tango. Those following this blog - that'll be us then - will remember the Orlando branch was our fave restaurant prior to this trip. Sadly, but predictably, the LA branch isn't a patch on it, food or vibe wise. To be fair, we have eaten rather well the last few days and weeks so perhaps the bar has been somewhat raised. The Sangria was still bloody good though and, after treating ourselves to a taxi back (we were good this morning and used the C(sh)ity bus), we're presently enjoying wine and cocktails in the hotel bar. Packing schmacking.
