... for about an hour. It seemed that just as we were about to take off a weather warning had come through stopping us and so we taxied around to let another aircraft take off, we then lost our place in the que honestly a huge que of aircraft I found it funny but Chantelle was getting a little tetchy about it.

The flight was long and the plane was old which meant no individual inflight entertainment, instead we got some ...

... of redwoods and grass slopes and meadows. The site of Stinson beach was well worth it. I was then told that Stinson beach is accessible by car, that it’s only a mile off 101 Freeway and you didn’t have to do the hike to get to the beach.... one word, *******! In truth it was a great walk and definitely cleared the head. We headed down into Stinson and a restaurant for much needed fuel and fodder. We then caught a bus back which took the most ...

... 1.40) in one of the dozens of shops. We met up with John's childhood friend, Greg, his wife, Nikki, and their son, Wesley, for lunch at the somewhat rowdy, but fun and tasty, House of Nanking. Fortunately, we were able to catch-up further with Greg and Nikki a few days later, at their lovely home in Berkeley (more later). While still in the city, we walked from Chinatown to the Embarcadero, along the Bay and through North Beach. We spent some ...

... all the connections with no
trouble, although it was a little tight on the way back with rechecking
the luggage.

... though, lets admit it, and we were all pleased to see a fight kicking off between two woman just in front of us! Thats what happens when you buy the cheapest seats tho hey - riff raff! haha! For our final day in San Francisco, we finally got round to hiring some bikes and riding across the Golden Gate Bridge. We rode over the bridge to Vista Point where you can get some good views of the city and then back again ...

... and play music in the park (next to the de Young museum) and dance from around 11am -2pm. I think the first hour is free beginners lessons, with the last couple of hours being social dancing. We got there just before one, and it was swinging. The weather is chilly and so there's not as many folks as there might have been if the day was sunnier, but the crowd that was there was certainly swinging. Julie & Bobby's flatemate Debra has ...

... to big TV in the bar to watch NASCAR.. I had nothing better to do so I sat down... OH MY GOD.... NASCAR is the DULLEST sport in the world.... I slept for about 2 hours only to be woken up randomly but some rednecks screaming at the TV and proudly announcing that this was the greatest sport ever!!! Oh dear!!! First they find baseball interesting, now nascar... Every pre-conception I had of Americans was right there in front of me... TAXI for JAMES... NOW... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

... plenty of time to kill. The girls found a salon/spa inside the international terminal and we all went to get either a massage, manicure or pedicure. Unfortunately, we started too late before our boarding time and we couldn't get everyone accommodated since their staff was so small. So, whoever didn't get to receive a service at least got to enjoy the massage chairs. We watched Pat get her lips get a workover during her facial massage. That's one of those ...

... and they rarely have front fences/front gardens etc. They are like units but sometimes can have upto 5 or 6 floors. We also learnt a lot of history about San Francisco, like how the dot com boom pre 2000 increased the property values so much that it became one of the most expensive cities in America to live in and there were a lot of homeless people that ...

... wyprawy zostaje wiec malo czasu i energii i sprowadza sie to glownie do zameczania e-mailami z pytaniami kolegi z Wawy oraz przegladania opaslego przewodnika Lonely Planet (forum Lonely Planet jest duzo bardziej przydatne niz ksiazka, ale ksiazke mozna czytac w drodze do pracy oraz w toalecie). Szukanie informacji bezposrednio na stronach firm z Peru czy Boliwii jest dosyc skomplikowane: raczej po ...
