I woke up this morning and could barely move! Last night, god knows how, I put my back out but hoped it would ease up by morning, instead it did the exact opposite, it got worse! I couldn't move my legs, I was in agony! Worst bit was it was gorgeous sunshine outside! We didn't want the good day of weather to be wasted so Nick went out sight seeing whilst I stayed at the hotel nursing my back. Nick started the day by going to The Civic Center before moving on to ...

We didn't think it was raining when we got up but when we left the hotel found out it was!! We decided not to let the rain ruin our day and headed out. We stopped for breakfast on our way and after some huge hills we got to Alamo Square, with all of the beautiful Victorian houses around it. From here we walked to the Palace of Fine Arts. The rain had finally stopped so we sat down for a while looking at the beautiful building. We then continued walking to the Go...

Today we woke up to rain, boo! We had a lazy morning hoping it would stop but no such luck! By lunch time we were so hungry we had to go out to get some food. It was absolutely pouring down, we got soaked right through and only walked a couple of blocks from the hotel! We figured as we were out and already drenched we would have a proper meal for lunch and then we just bought a few snack bits which we took back to the hotel and had whilst we sat in bed watching ...

After walking around China Town we headed to Fishermans Wharf via Lombard Street (the crookedest street in the world) passing through the North Beach area and Washington Sqaure on our way. We walked up the VERY steep Lombard Street and from the top we could see Alcatra...

Today we drove from LA to San Francisco! We went to pick up our hire car from the Hertz office at the Renaissance Hotel. We asked to add GPS to our rental but the only car he could give us with the sat nav was a Ford Mustang, 2009 Model! It was $10 more to upgrade, what a dilema, what do we do!! We decided we just HAD to have the sat nav so we had no choice but to take the mustang, what a shame!! We walked back through the hostel as they were bringing the car ou...
