Hey Dudes. Arrived in Seattle ok, train ended up being two hours late, so got to the station in the wee hours of the morning, so decided to get a taxi from there to the hostel. immediately i guessed it wasnt far to the hostel, as the cab driver looked grumpy when i said where i wanted to go, as if he wasnt going to get a good fare. The annoying thing was he drove really slowly so his meter went up, plus he drove around the block to the hostel,instead of going str...

We went into the main office, and the only thing they had available was a lodge room, which werent coming cheap, at $154 a night, but unfortunately, that was the only o...

27-11-06 SAN FRANCISCO I have officially fallen in love......with a city. The great city of San Francisco. As soon as i got dropped off in a place called Emeryville, i had to get my transfer to SF city centre. It was here that i got my first glimpse of the city.

Anyway, i...
