... A short walk later and we were in Pacific Heights looking for the fancy houses......not many to be seen, but we did manage to take photo of San Francisco Bay...WOW!!
Next item on agenda was to visit Lombard Street and this is where it all went wrong!! Looking at my map we had to get to a specific point to take the cable-car......managed this!! Couldn't then decide which way to go on next cable-car and stress level hit roof ...

... of that trip. She is now doing her residency in Stanford Hospital. Her boyfriend, Kitso was also in town as he is doing an internship with BCG whilst doing a MBA at Kellogg.

We went to a night of Improv comedy which was great. In fact it was an improv-off night as local teams competed in a tournament to win the accolade of (I’m not really sure) but hey it was a fun night and with tears streaming down our eyes we did a bit of a bar ...

... gang i ungdommen har jeg vært ganske besatt av øyen mitt i SF bukten som huset noen av USA sine verste kriminelle i det som den gangen var det sikreste fengselet i landet. Mange berømte mennesker satt her, deriblant Al Capone.

Escape from Alcatraz er en annen kjent film med Clint Eastwood, basert på den sanne historien om 3 fanger som klarte å rømme fra øyen. Det er heller usikkert om de overlevde svømmeturen til land og ...

... bridge and back if you feel like getting cold. I found an aquarium that looked pretty cool and actually let you touch the sharks. There were some huge fish and some run of the mill boring ass ***** things. But touching the sharks was definitely the highlight of the aquarium. Alcatraz tours operate from Pier 33 and for $28 you get to go across, walk around and what not and come back whenever you like. I missed the final boat ...

Kolejny dzien w San Francisco dobiegl konca. Niestety nie udalo sie nam zobaczyc Alcatraz. Ku przestrodze innych nawolujemy do rezerwowania biletow z co najmniej kilkudniowym wyprzedzeniem. Inaczej trzeba sie obejsc smakiem. Cale szczescie San Francisco obfituje w atrakcje i dzien spedzilismy na oddawaniu sie rozkoszom tej nadmorskiej miejscowosci (tak, tak, wiemy, ze Pacyfik to nie morze, ale jak tu zbudowac zgrabny przymiotnik od rzeczownika ocean?). Po nieudanej probie ...

It's hard to belive we are 14 days from leaving for Portuagal! Language lessons are progressing but we plan to take the phrase book just in case! We are very excited and shocking to everyone that knows us - we have only a partial plan of what we are going to see and do. We know we land in Lisbon. We know we will head to Porto then backback our way back stopping at Sintra along the way - but between Porto and Sintra we are flying by the seat of our pants.

... mooi het vanaf hier is...en wellicht dat ze dan snapt waarom Alfred altijd zit te zeuren over 'zijn' brug. Alfred is er in iedergeval zeker van dat na dit bezoek zij ook anders tegen deze brug gaat aankijken...in iedergeval dus een hoogtepunt om niet snel te vergeten :D... Na dit geweldig hoogtepunt van onze reis wilden we een stukje rond de baai rijden, aangezien we toch over de brug gingen rijden kon dit goed gecombineerd worden, we zouden dan via de ...

... hotel in SF and managed to get our rooms early (it was 10.30am - we lost 3 hours coming west) and hurriedly changed into some warmer clothes, then caught a tram to Pier 33 near Fishermans Wharf to get our boat trip to ...

... bus/train to Seattle, going through Oregon. On Tuesday I walked 2 miles through China town towards the coast and rented myself a bike. I had decided during the previous night that I was to cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge, and I did. It took 2 ½ hours to get there and about 40 mins to cycle over it, stopping to take photos on the way. On the other side, I stopped had a drink and then did the whole ...

... scope out a victim from a nearby rooftop. We got a pic of Mrs Doubtfire's house and saw streets where Steve McQueen had the famous car chase in 'Bullit' plus many, many others. That night we had our planned visit to 'The Rock', Alcatraz Island and the prison that once housed Al Capone, 'Machine Gun' Kelly and Robert 'The Birdman' Stroud. The island was shrouded in fog when we got there, you couldn't see the bay waters let alone the mainland. It gave the place ...
