Last day in San Francisco today! Lots of last minute bits planned. First stop was to a Charity shop in search of a jumper as its just too cold to walk around in less. We both managed to get a few super cheap bits. Then we walked for quite a while to the famous 'Painted ladies'. Basically a row of very pretty Victorian style houses. Laura of course took many pics of the beautifully coloured homes. Then we walked all the way to Castro, which is the apparently t...

Us being idiots of course checked out of the hostel, jumped in a taxi to the otherone, and realised we couldnt check in until after 2pm.... it was now 11 am. It was the same in the other one so we should have known. We decided to work out our money situation.... basically we a...
