First day in San fran not that interesting just getting the lay of the land and on the computer a lot trying to sort stuff out.
However I did discover old navy which is American primark. Did a bit of shopping before heading back to the hostel just in time for wine and cheese night!
I met a girl there who I tagged along with for the next couple of days. We did the historic walking tour of downtown San fran which I thought would be good but it wasn't. The guy kept going on about land tax and seeing the cat; which I still don't no what it means.
So got really boring and we saw all of 6 building of interest- he was a bit of a lefty. I suppose anyone who ends a walking tour with a poem has to be a lefty!
On the up side we picked up another tag on and we went for a real walking tour of San fran.
Firstly going through china town which is really cheap for produce stuff. Before heading to coit tower which was on top of this killer hill. By the end my legs were doing that twitchy thing but worth it- great views.
On the way back we stopped for a drink in little Italy and people watched.
It was a really good day which ended in a baked potato.
The next day Ismene and I went down to the bay pier intending to go to Alcatraz but apparently you have to book in advance. We went and looked round the docks. There's sealion's which sit on some of the floating jetties. someone told me they took up home there years ago after an earthquake and some have stayed since.
After the bay went over to golden gate park which was a real disappointment really. You just don't ever feel like you in a park because there's cars everywhere and a busy road through the middle.
But the golden gate bridge is something to see.
Finished the day with a bit of food shopping and out for drinks with my two new friends
