After the studio tour we finished the day at Venice Beach: the skate park, the boardwalk, and the sun going down behind the palm trees.

Our last full day in Los Angeles started at the Griffith Observatory, with the Hollywood Sign across the hills, a planetarium show and the view over the city. In the afternoon we drove along Mulholland Drive, stopping at the Hollywood Bowl and Universal City overlooks, and finished with downtown lit up at night.

Our first full day in Los Angeles started with the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Burbank: the backlot, the sound stages (where The Pitt was filming that day), and sets and props from Friends, The Big Bang Theory, the Batman films and Harry Potter. Afterwards we made a quick stop on Hollywood Boulevard before heading to Venice Beach (part 7).
