Fish and Chips by the sea....are we in Helensburgh
... ambience at Fisherman's Warf, Alcatraz was in the background,people were freely dancing to the music and the restraunts were buzzing! great fun! After days of walking and finding out about some dangerous neighbourhoods nearby we decided to take a taxi home.
Were in bed just now for an early night but downtown San Fran below us is still hustling and bustling. San Frans cold,the people are super happy and the streets are steep! I have ...
California Dreaming
I have wanted to visit San Francisco for a long time, something about the improbably steep streets, the views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge, the neighbourhood feel of the city as it's portrayed in films like Mrs Doubtfire and, without question a fascination with Alcatraz, something which my dad instilled in me as a girl, as he was fascinated too.

Carmel's local 'Bob FM' is my new favourite radio station - Bowie, Queen, Blondie, The Eagles, Billy Joel and errr Gary Glitter.
Following a refuel (gas and supermarket goodies) at Carmel we hit highway 1, brushing aside the flashing ...
Grumpy bums
... I wasn’t feeling inclined to go anywhere as I was knackered, but Dad convinced me a shower would make me feel better and it did. So we headed off to Union Square to get a bus tour and something to eat.
