Hey everyone! Its taken me ages to get on here, ive been sooooo busy lol This is Rick by the way. Adam just b*****ed off to get some lunch. We nearly didnt even get here lol felt like the world was turning on us! With delayed flights, traffic jams and lots of other problems! anyway, we arrived from SF airport to the centre of SF where we were staying. immediatelty feeling like tourists with our massive back packs on! But as soon we got to SF everyone was so friendly. People were just randomly saying hi to us and asking how we were on the way to our hostel. Theres a lot of homeless people in SF. So we were asking for change about 10 times lol and we didnt have a penny on us because we'd only just got there ourselves!
Acutally on the way up to the hostel some big black homeless guy trying helping us find our hostel but apparently it was down this dark ally... but then out of no where this really nice lass about 24 started talking to us whilst all this was going on and she walked up to the hostel. with the black guy still in the back ground in his american accent going "hey man seriously its down here" lol i just said "im pretty sure its not mate" haha.
anyway we arrvied in the hostel knackered because we'd been up for about 24hours but we were so excited we decided to put our bags down and go around SF. We ended up going to a 50's diner we'd seen on the way up. Its was soo cool, we felt like we'd gone back in time. so we typically had some burgers and chips with some rootbeer! After we'd eaten we just walked around SF checking everything out. We eventually decided to go back to the hostel and got some shut eye.
The next day we decided to go to chinatown, so we headed down there after some free pancakes. well.. i lie i tried to make them about 4 times and i didnt succeed! so we just had ceral instead. Our 1st day was acutally the wettest day ever! you'll see from the pictures we're like drown rats, but we didnt care we just wanted to look around. Chinatown was a really good day out. We were getting abit hungry and there was a women handing out flyers for lunch and it was free starters and 20% off. and me and adam love a bargain so were there faster than you can say fried rice! we got there and sat down the service was brillant. they wouldnt leave us alone lol constantly giving us those hot flanals to wash our hands and checking we we're enjoying it. BUT the bill came and they changed us $40 because they decided to put there own tip on, charged for the starters AND where was the 20% off.. not on our bill. So i sorted that out lol anyone who knows me knows what im like!
That evening there was a kareoki night on in the hostel so we thought we'd go down and get wasted. So we bought some beers and headed down about 9:30. It was an ace night. Its so easy to make friends in hostel because your all doing the same thing and everyones just out to have a good time. We met a really nice guy from kwuala Lumper whos given us his email address and he wants us to send him a message when we're over there and hes gonna meet up with us and show us around KL. So many people just wanna help you out when your travelling, its making everything so easy!
The day after i woke up feeling like s h i t to be honest lol but we decided to make the msot of the day and go to the golden gate bridge and fishermans wharf (which is like blackpool, but good) you'll see the pictures and footage. it doesnt really capture how amazing the views are from the golden gate bridge but you get some idea!
I'm going to have to go now, my internet time is running out. But we pretty much left SF abit early because the weather was just getting worse and we couldnt do anything by sunday. So now we're in San Digo, the home of ron burgendy!
G2G speak soon, Rick x x x
