Hello!We met Emma and Natalie at the airport in San Fran on Monday night and headed back to the hostel. Nat, Craig and I went back to the Thai restaurant again for tea, it was yummy! Next day we got up and had tattie scones and irn bru that emma had brought which was amazing and then took a walk down to Union Square and up through Chinatown to have a look round the shops and then got on the open top tour bus as we thought this would be a good way to see the city. Turns out the city ain't that big so it wasn't needed but it was a nice way to see the city. We went for dinner in Little Italy after trying an Indian where the chefs were asleep on the floor outside the toilets and passing on that one lol!! On our way back to the hostel we saw a guy having a poo on a piece of cardboard which was really nice lol! We had couple of bottles of wine at night and played foosball, cards and pool in the hostel.Next day we were up early to go to Alcatraz although we still ended up running late lol! We took the ferry over and ha a look around, it was really cool, we got to see the homes of the people who lived there, the morgue, the recreation ground and best of all the cellblocks. At the cellblocks we had an audio tour which was really cool to hear all about the history, the inmates and the attempted escapes. We all spent a fortune in the gift shop as well as there was loads of really cool stuff, well that's our excuse and we are sticking to it lol! After Alcatraz we had a look around Pier 39 and then headed back to the hostel. At night Nat and I had another couple of bottles of wine, can you tell she is a bad influence?!On Thursday we went to pick up our car and had to wait 2 hours in a queue for it and then another half hour while they cleaned the car!! We have a Dodge with a 4.7 litre engine and we all practically need step ladders to get into it lol, it's a big beast and Craig is cheesing that he has a big American car to drive. We eventually started our drive after having to ask the guy how the car works as its an automatic an we were not sue about the stick by the steering wheel lol! We stopped to get an atlas and couldn't get the handbrake back off so had to get out and ask someone but we managed it ourselves in the end lol, how dumb!! We stopped and had a burrito and decided to drive a bit more while it was still light then we ended up on the windiest bit of highway 1 and I got dark and there was fog and we were really high up and at some bits you turned round a bend and the road dipped and you were practically facing down into the rocky sea from a cliff it was petrifying for me and my fear of high edges but everyone else loved it lol! We eventually got on flat land and found a motel in San Luis Obispo and stopped for the night. In the morning Emma and Nat came to the door saying the guy had said they have to check out as we only booked one night but the woman the night before had said two nights and when we went to see the guy he basically said I was lying so I was well hacked off but we just moved along to the Ramada which was cool where we got a suite quite cheap with a room each and we had a pool and wifi which was better anyway!! We just chilled out n went in the pool and then had a walk and had some wine in the room and watched a film. Today we got up and started our journey to San Diego, so I am now typing this from a 10 lane highway just outside LA! Lots of Love Eva and Craig xxx
