Due to my earlyish night and plenty of sleep, I was up early for breakfast (9am is early!). I started packing up my rucksack as I hadn't packed it properly when I left Vegas and needed to put all the warm clothes to the top for when I got to New Zealand. I met up with Faye and we wandered around San Diego. I'll be honest, there was a lot of restaurants but not many stores! We stumbled upon a Mexican joint which seemed nice. For a change, I had a burger...have to ...

So after finally leaving for Vegas at 2:45pm on Monday 18th I was on my way to San Diego.....except the air con broke after 30 mins. So off we went back to the Vegas bus station until we finally set off at 4pm. By this point I was very naggy, tired, hungry, thirsty and emotionaland generally on a Vegas comedown.

It was pretty interesting and I found it slightly random that there were people that actually lived on the island, it was very vast and remote in places....

I biked from San Francisco pier over Golden Gate Bridge and over to a little fishing town called Sausalito. The bike ride was 8 miles in total, but was amazing, so relaxing to ride a bike which I havent done in years! However I was aching slightly when I got off it. Went to a little deli in Sausalito for lunch where I had a California Club baguette...hands ...

So I arrived in San Francisco on Sunday night (10th) and found the hostel really easily, was there in 10 mins from greyhound depot. Went up to my room and found 5 boys in there which was a bit of a surprise seeing as I had only shared with 1 girl previously. They werent very talkative at all, which made me even more nervous! The next morning I arranged to go on the walking tour with Mary, one of the staff who does a 3 hour walk of San Francisco, it was free so I...
