Day 12
... we were able to get an "unofficial" tour of the Airbus A320 and Boeing 747 simulators. I returned to the lab for the last run of the day and after saying my goodbyes Aunt Jess and I left. We made a quick stop at the grocery store for some pork chops to grill for dinner :)
After dinner, Ella, Aunt Jess, and I ended our day by going to the pool to swim laps :)

... about 25 mins and it was very cool to be walking on the bridge but I didn't see any signs to the ferry. The only buses are the sightseeing ones and they cost like $30 so that wasn't an option. The only option was to walk back over the bridge and find the normal buses. I now come to a very valuable lesson, do not embark on a nearly 4 hour walk in the cold without any food and not eating anything prior. I was beyond starving and have no idea how I got ...
