S: After a quick drive to San Francisco, and dropping our bags off at the hostel followed by the car, we headed into the city. We walked towards the piers and ended up finding a farmer's market, where we had the most amazing pork roll and roast potatoes. After that we headed towards the Alcatraz pier, I was soo excited to be going as this had been planned for months. I'm fascinated by the whole concept of the prison and the island. We bordered the boat for the...

S: Our next plan was to visit Yosemite, but after driving 8 hours we decided that the weather was too bad to go there and the fact we didn't have snow chains in the car might have made the decision. As it was such a long drive, we caught up with the blog as we have been a little lax lately. The scenery we were passing through was amazing to look at - snow-capped mountains on one side and desert the other. I never expected to be seeing such a contrast down one r...

J: We drove to San Diego late and it was dark by the time we got there, being efficient with money we didn't bother with a camp site as we wanted an early start so we just pulled up outside someone's house for the night. In the morning they woke us up going to work I guess. We set off to the old town but nothing opened until 10am. Thankfully the toilets were open at least for a quick freshen up. We stopped at a Trader Joes (don't you love that shop name) and st...

S: So today we had the day twice over. It was our biggest flights of the year. We started out at 9.45am on the 20th of January and landed 24 hours later on the 20th January at 10 am. The flights were very good but we were shattered and just wanted to get to a hostel and get sorted. We arrived at our hostel and met some guys who were convinced we were Australian lol. We decided to go grab some food and we were recommended a little restaurant around the...
