Venice Beach - Los Angleles
Last Updated: 7th Jun 2012
Just south of Santa Monica in Los Angeles is the colorful and eclectic Venice Beach.
Named after the canals that originally made the city look like Venice, Italy, the beach front promenade is now filled with markets, stalls while the parks along the beach are popular with roller bladders, skaters and musicians.
Almost anything goes in Venice and the people wear colorful and crazy clothes but the atmosphere is of liberal freedom. Venice’s most famous recreation areas are Muscle Beach and basketball courts while Venice Beach is a constant in American movies, television shows and computer games (American History X, Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, Baywatch, Million Dollar Baby and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 to name but a few).
Although you don’t have the opportunity to visit Venice Beach on tour, it’s a great place to check out if you’re travelling to LA or have some time to spare before or after your tour.

This is the excellent web page for anyone who truly would like to have an understanding of this topic. You notice a great deal its virtually difficult to argue with you (not that I in fact would want to�HaHa). You certainly set a new spin on a matter that has been talked about for a long time. Wonderful stuff, just superb!

I went on two tours alone...I made life-long friends along the way! That's the nature of Contiki.
My advice would be to do as many excursions as you can. They are a great way to get to know your group, and they are always good fun.
I dont think anyone has ever said they didnt enjoy George's boat! Its by far the best optional on tour! The water is amazing and George is quite the entertainer ;)
