This morning it was our final Hollywood Cafe breakfast together and I think we had just about managed to order a small enough meal to finish. After breaky, we all went back to the hostel to do some final packing. Shortly after it was finally time to say our goodbyes, as mum and dad had to go collect their hire car. It was sad to see them go but it's not long until ill be home so I'm sure they will manage! I decided to chill in my room before I had to leave, as I...

Today, after the usual Hollywood cafe breakfast, the three of us hired bikes to cycle the Golden Gate Bridge with. It was a beautiful day for it. On the way to the bridge we cycled a coastal path which meant we could take some amazing pictures of the bridge. Actually crossing the bridge on a bike was the best way to see it. It meant we could take time to enjoy what we were looking at and take everything in - plus some exercise wasn't a bad thing! Once we crossed ...

This morning the three of us checked out the sea lions on pier 39 on our way to the ferry terminal. There are loads of them and its really interesting to watch them! We then had to catch our ferry to Alcatraz. After our long cue we eventually made it to the island.

It took us round the jail, showing us different cells and blocks, ...

So to help us get around we got three hop on hop off bus passes! The bus showed us around part of the city on the way to Union Square. We decided to get off here as its the central part of San Francisco and there are plenty of shops here! After a long time in Macy's wi...

I planned to wake up early this morning to try and reduce the jet lag I would get in San Francisco. Unfortunately I had a horrid night sleep so decided to ignore the alarm. I had originally planned to do a bungee today off Harbour Bridge but I decided against it. I figured its not worth spending money on something I'm not going to enjoy. I would only be doing it for kudos, and I think I've got enough to be proud of for the time being! This change of heart meant ...
