We arrived into Seattle after a 4 hour bus trip and were pleasantly surprised at how efficient the passport control at the border was (definitely recommend crossing by bus, the queue for cars was incredible). Gareth had conveniently booked us into the hotel which was at the final bus stop and in a great location for all the sights we wanted to s...
I had my first experience of the Greyhound coaches on the way to Seattle. They aren't nearly as bad as I had been lead to believe. Only one weirdo spoke to me; and I won't be ringing the number he gave me. And if I remember to sit away from the loo, next time my feet should stay dry. I had one unfortunate incident on the first night here. I ...

We managed to not miss breakfast....Who misses a meal especially at the place know for the best Eggs benedict in town? I ponder the class list for the day and am actually relieved that I am not wondering in the rain ...

Being on my own after such an intense month was actually challenging. However, I'm back at home and missing the darling country already.
We left Portland on the Sunday morning after saying our goodbyes to Sean and Chris - they had Hot Yoga to go to, (yoga in a sauna, all the rage apparently). We boarded the Coastal Satrlight for the final time for the comparatively short journey time of 4 hours. The train announcer actually got us to give a round of applause to the driver for act...
San Francisco Day five On the journey, it was impossible to get any sleep, so I ended up seeing a lot of the journey. We passed through Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo and San Jose, all these names so familiar through films, before reaching the city I have always wanted to see. It was very cloudy, and the bus station was in the only ...
The city is really cool. I like it here a lot, esoecially the weather. We did see some rain, but you know we would (and I like it). The Space Needle was pretty cool. First time I have been up in a structure that tall.
