Today was biking day in Griffith Park, that was an exercise, all the time uphill! And there were only like 2 other person on bikes and they were wearing those professional biking attire and had racing bicycles and looked extremely athletic. I was figthing with my motivation and legsmuscles to make it all the way up. All other people were going by car, like its normal in the US. Actually I just did not know, that it would be so strenous, I just heard Griffith Park, well sounds good, give it a try, and thought more really of a park and not of an uphill roadway all the way. However the view of the city was rewarding! Also I found a little area there, which is called Berlin Forest at Griffith Park! "dedicated to the friendship between Berlin, Germany and Los Angeles; sister sites since 1967". There was a sign of Berlin and right behind it, you can spot the famoud Hollywood Sign. I like that connection between home and LA.
Finally I arrived at the Griffith Park Observatory and enjoyed stunning views, which was so very rewarding after going there all the way up by bike! Going down then was much easier though! Later in evening I was a bit driving around at Hollywood Boulevard up to West Hollywood by bike! In Europe or Australia that would be normal, however in Hollywood everyone is kind of staring at you, when you are using a bike and not a car. Again tons of people talked to me and I got heaps of phonenumbers, LA is really crazy, I never experienced that before anywhere else in the world.
