Spent the morning chilling at the hostel with the Irish boys over breakfast and read through their cv's as they were job hunting today, the green tortoise has a way of making time fly, before I knew it, it was around 11am I spoke to Meg an Aussie girl who was renting push bikes with a few other people at 2pm so agreed to meet them at the rental shop at 2, I left the hostel around midday and headed down to fisherman's wharf again as they have so much to see and do...

Was up bright, early and hangover free this morning! I then spent a bit of the morning organising a couch surfing request with a girl Brieanne in Orlando, looks like it's all going to come together too!

I then walked along...

Got up, showered, breakfast and packed up my gear as I was leaving Santa Cruz later :( I really like this place, but pretty excited to be hitting up San Fran later! I said goodbye to Owen and Bruno and then after hanging about to FaceTime my sister she told me that it would be best to do it tomorrow instead, I only had a couple hours to kill until my bus so I finally checked out the huge pier, I think it's the biggest in Cali but will have to double check that.. ...
