Today we walked the entire golden gate park and some! Most of it not intentional as we did get lost, even managed to turn back on ourselves and walk the wrong way for a while, still not quite sure how we managed that one. We took the bus right over to the other end which took a long time, and it was nearly 4 when we eventually reached the other end, we probably needed the the exercise. The park was full of windmills, botanical gardens, Japanese gardens, lakes a...

Today was our trip to Alcatraz. Had been very much looking forward to this. We were up early in order to make sure we could get to the other side of town to catch our boat over to Alcatraz island. Was a foggy day but we still got all the pictures we wanted and the water wasn't too choppy on the trip over. So once we got there we were handed some audio tour headphones and we had to walk around with the voice. I kept getting confused and going the wrong way. Saw ho...

Yay that was our last ever bus journey, another overnight trip, we were dropped off at a service station for 30 minutes. They where obviously getting ready to close but as we where in there we thought it would be fine. That was until hey closed the doors we came in from! Took us about 5 minutes to find our way out, nearly panicked there for a minute! Complete culture shock from Vegas, changing from bright flashing lights and sunshine to old trams and a cold wind...

We eventually booked tickets the night before to the grand canyon, after rushing around for a few hours looking for a cash point, with the distraction of a few shops as well, we made it back about 10 minutes before they where going to close. Off we go! We drove past the Hoover dam on the way there, it's very impressive you can see how much the water level has gone down over the years. The grand canyon! Expensive but worth it, it didn't feel real, we could walk ...

Well we survived the bus journey, which ended up to be about 2 days an 9 hours of travel. It did go rather quickly but it is rather worrying how easy it was to waste that length of time sitting on a bus. We must have had the oldest buses going, no wifi or plug sockets the greyhound service is definitely better in Florida and along the east coast. It was a rather eventful trip, we had it all buses that smelled of piss, which was really unpleasant, luckily we weren...
