Today we didn't do that much except go to the cinema to see Bolt in 3D with James. The film was really good and we highly recommend going to see it in 3D as we looked really cool with our 3D glasses on!

We went to the cinema, which is in the Westfield Mall shopping centre. The seats are really comfy leather chairs, which slightly recline. James met us at our apartment and we walked to the cinema as it's only a 15-minute walk (walking was a bit of a foreign concept to James who drives everywhere!) and we got the bus back, which was also a foreign concept to James as he'd never got a bus before so we had to show him how to pay - bless him!.

Today we started packing and sorting our things out. We took some of our unwanted kitchen things to a local AIDS Charity shop called Out Of The Closet, which is a huge shop and hard to miss as the building is bright pink. We didn't browse around as we didn't need to buy anymore stuff, but all the clothes looked really organised and I've read really good reviews about the place so it's on 9th and Folsom if you're interested.

Other than that we just chilled out and ordered a pizza from the place near The Gaylord Hotel where we had our first pizza (Milan Pizza). This in itself was a bit of a undertaking as we had to find a payphone as the place Milan Pizza don't have online ordering. The first payphone we used didn't work properly, so we used the ones in the library.

The pizza place answered the phone but then the guy disappeared after I said I wanted to place an order for tonight so I thought the phone had broken, so I kept saying "Hello? Hello? Hellooooooo??!!" until he came back on the line. Then I had to explain where we lived and I had to repeat that we wanted the pizza delivered at 8pm about 3 times!

Our pizza arrived about half an hour late because the delivery guy couldn't find our place, but it was really worth the wait. We ordered exactly the same thing as before, the $23.99 super deal, which was a large 16" Milan Special pizza, 10 spicy buffalo wings and a 2-liter soda. It tasted as good as the first time we ordered it and we were really happy to have it as one of our last meals in San Francisco! So it was like having a little sleepover eating pizza whilst sitting on our sleeping bags.

Today we moved out of our apartment. James came to pick us up so we took him to Mel's Diner for lunch before he drove us to our Travelodge hotel near the airport. The motel isn't too bad; at least we now have a TV and a bed - luxuries to us! And we got the hotel pretty much for free because I found an website (www.hotelclub.co.uk) which gave me $49 free credit to use and the Travelodge room was $49 so I only had to pay about $5 for the tax. The hotel also provides a free shuttle to the airport too so we don't have to worry about catching our flight.
