Hey, arrived in Santa Cruz earlier today and although its sunny it ain't half windy on that pier! I was so cold my nipples started talkin to me!! Loved spending a week in San Francisco, had a good look around and loved the city. Loadsa homeless people about (not quite as many as L.A tho) which is the story of the U.S so far really which i didn't expect, but such is life and although sad to see u just gotta get on with things! Saw the sea lions at pier 39 which was like a comedy act, loadsa big slobs just lying there all over each other trying to get comfy, funny guys! Also had a few drinking sessions with people from the hostel which was a chuckle, I dare say that there was some snoring done on those nights!

Had a look around Alcatraz yesterday which was interesting, and indulged on a Ghirardeli's chocolate ice cream, mmm mmm! Despite the eating and drinking habits we've done some serious walkin up and down some of the steepest streets i've seen in my life, the photo's don't do them justice! It feels sad to move on because San Francisco is the best city we've seen so far, however, hopefully we'll get some nice relaxin time on the beaches as we head down the coast! Hard life we know.....

Adios amigos,

Dan ; )
