We think that SFO will be our "feet wet" city. The flight from here is 14 hours to SYD. The other option is to go through LAX. When we see the loads closer to departure we'll make the decision which city to fly through. <br><br>The plan is to travel to Cairns in Queensland, AU. This will be our jumping off site to the Great Barrier Reef. We will actually be staying in a place called Palm Cove which is north of Cairns on the Coral Sea.<br>

... of old movie posters on the walls, a very 50's feel to it. The charm lasted for about 5 minutes, before a bus load of people arrived and pandemonium ensued. The pancakes were definitely NOT like my Uncle Jake's. At least it was fuel for the body. I had pre booked a 48 hour package ofr Double Decker Hop On/Hop Off tours for every conceivable area of SF, but first we had to pick up the tickets. As the office was at Fisherman's Wharf and I was NOT walking ...

... Strom aus Alaska. Noch ein wenig durch die Stadt gefahren mit dem Rad ist man ja etwas schnell** und kann mehr sehen. Lustige Sachen in Chinatown gegessen, ich mein, wenn es halt nur auf Chinesisch da steht, nimmt man halt die Fing** und zeigt was man will günstig und gut und man hofft imm** dass es nicht Katze war. Ansonsten viele Obdachlose g**ade in Ashbury / Haight. Abgesehen von Downtown sind die Häus** alle eh** flach ab** alle mit Erk ...

... in rooms next to indisputible modern greats; and deep in the Golden Gate Park, to the Academy of Sciences, which held a huge aquarium, planetarium and indoor rainforest. Nice. We still managed to make time to see the bridge in all its glory, go to the civic centre and to squeeze in some shopping and a few slices of superb cheesecake on top of Macys. So we've been very busy, and our feet now very sore; but that's the price you pay for getting the most out of a place, I guess.

Sprinted to SFO after work so I can catch my flight to Quito via United and Avianca. It was the Friday before Christmas so the airport was full. There was also a slight delay in my trip from SFO to LAX via United, but it was not late enough for me to miss my Avianca flight to Quito via Bogota, Colombia. I was very excited since it's my first time to fly down to South America. I listened to my Spanish lesson podcasts in the plane to prepare for this trip.

... Muir Wood, avec un bon 6 km de sentiers tant dans les bois qu'à flan de montagne. Sur notre retour, un arrêt pour prendre des photos du Golden Gate Bridge, vue du haut de la montagne. En prime, on a eu droit à un spectacle des Blue Angels dans la baie. On est ensuite allé monter les "Mosaic Stairs" avant d'aller souper chez Chevys, un très bon restaurant Mexicain.

... on we walked on streets named Broadway, C&amp;D Block, library etc. A number of cells are decorated as like they were back in the days of the time that is was still a prison, so you get a good idea how it must have been there. Mainly small! We hang around for over 2 hours here and at 13.30 we take the boat back. We are craving for lunch and we want do that at Pier 39. Pier 39 is a sociable nice place with many shops ...

... umbrella of a gigantic park. Initially I've decided to not have a car, to keep expenses down, simplify my life and because it's pretty easy to get around the city on foot or using public transportation. I have to admit, sometimes it sucks taking the bus, but then again it's a good way to observe human nature--after all I am working on the craft of writing. So there is an endless supply of material riding the bus. Was invited up to a beautiful cabin in a ...

... et on nous fait revivre une tentative d'évasion particulièrement sanglante qui avait fait une dizaine de morts, 7 gardiens et 3 prisonniers. On peut imaginer la frustration des prisonniers qui pouvaient voir et même entendre, par vents favorables, la ville de San Francisco pendant qu'ils vivaient dans des conditions misérables. Jour 5 : on sort les bicyclettes pour faire la piste cyclable qui longe la côte avec vue sur la mer, les vagues et les surfers. Après un dîner assis ...
