... 345;ádu hodin. Ano, něco
podobnýho jsme sledovali první večer na cestě, takže se těšíme, co oskar
předvede dnes... Radek připraví foťák a ještě v karavanu probíráme dnešní
zážitky. Slunce je pořád ještě hodně vysoko. Po zhruba 5-ti minutách, kdy si
myslíme, že času je pořád ještě hodně, jen tak orientačn ...

... in the USA. It was obvious that the guy had been shop-lifting and had been arrested by the police; he was lying face down on the street handcuffed behind his back and had five or six police officers hauling him to his feet....bit OTT if you ask me!!! Just like the UK...never a policeman around when you want one, then they all turn up at once for all the glory!!
We were determined to get our missing Golden Gate photos fog or no fog!! After ...

... then gone. I soon discovered that the transportation problems in the afternoon where just the beginning and with all the people crowding the stations now there was little chance for me to shove my way through. So I walked, and walked, and felt pretty miserable, as the sensation of my feet going to fall off grow, and cold. Finally I got a bus (after walking about 2 miles I think) and got safely to the hostel, and just slept.

... Heath is an Australian) that it beats the Great Ocean Drive in Victoria, Australia... sorry.

We drove to Monterey to spend another night, via Pebble Beach. This is a 17 mile drive that costs about $8 or $9 per car to drive around and is a very exclusive community with huge grotesque, badly designed houses that takes bad taste to another level. There are some great houses but they are in the minority. However, the drive is pretty spectacular, the waves are raging ...

... dollar??? For hair mousse?), Sunchips (yummy!) in a compostable package (Compostable packets? Remember when we used to re-use chip packets by oven-shrinking them and creating luuuurvely jewellery pieces?), Crest toothpaste in Cinnamon blast flavour in an extra-large economy tube, economy-sized Pepsi (which is cheaper than the smaller bottle) and a massive bottle of Tylenol PM (LOVE this stuff. In the U.S. antihistamines are bottled as night-time ...

... made peacfully, strongly and non disruptively. Now I'm not much of a meditator as such. I gave it a whirl in Thailand, and didn't really get into it, but this was a great experience. For me I feel meditation can be used practically in any religion, including Christianity, so my dear Christian friends that are reading this please don't be affronted or offended, just ask me my reasoning on the subject. Okay, so this is how the PDM went... a group of maybe 60 of us met at a park in ...

... the buildings, but hit the major hightlights. And saw where Dad spends a lot of time! We couldn't wait to get to the ball park because we were meeting Dave & Kari (with friend Curtis) and Brad (Dave and Brad are two of Lisa'scousins). Our seats were great with a great chance for foul balls, but the players didn't cooperate! Drew completed the whole score ...

... journey had already happened. It is strange to think that after all that work-sorting all of our stuff "out" to move and then sorting all of our stuff "in" for storage we cannot really just relax and enjoy being here. The upside to the lack of rest now is that the trip is right around the corner and we are taking our time with the travel part. It is incredibly exciting and we hope to virtually take many of you with us through our journey.

... San Franciso.........think we will be sick of planes by the time this trip finished!! Landed in the beautiful city of San Fran late in the afternoon, checked into our hostel and grabbed a bite to eat, before calling an end to our very long day!! Boy is it a change after Fiji - it's cold!!! So jeans and jumpers from now on! Wednesday 16th April First of all San Francisco is a great city with a great vibe, kind of boho hippy and ...
