Residence Inn By Marriott San Francisco Airport At Oyster Point South San Francisco

... Memorial Museum, a ja z Ola i Agatka - do znajdujacej sie tuz obok Akademii Nauk (California Academy of Sciences). Ula wyszla z muzeum zadowolona, my mniej. Ilez w koncu mozna ogladac akwariow, a do dwoch najciekawszych obiektow: planetarium i lasu tropikalnego byly straszne kolejki, wiec je ominelismy. Potem poszlismy do parku na spacer. Zaczelismy do ogrodu botanicznego, ktory raczej przypomina urozmaicony park, ale rychlo okazalo sie, ze wszystkich bola ...

... is an experience that will not soon be forgotten.

I was thrilled to be riding a Double Decker bus for most of the day (my body was happy about it too) and it was a beautiful day for a bus ride. We did the Downtown loop first, which takes about 90 minutes to cover the highlights of downtown. We stayed on the bus (no hopping off for us). Our tour guide was knowledgeable and we picked up lots of interesting facts. After the downtown loop we ...

... be reunited in the future.

Checked in and ready to go, even the prospect of business class flatbeds for our 10 hour return journey could not dilute our disappointment that the journey was finally at an end.

... they will too. The only disappointment was that it was so cold, wet and miserable that the team raced back to the lockerroom after the game and did not sign any autographs. Disappointing for Zac, particularly when we were so close. But he took it well. Then time came for the trip back to our hotel. A stranger gave Cass a free MUNI ticket which was a blessing and we were back quickly at the Embacadero station with the rest of our pilgrims ...

... conveyor belt before they were confident that New Zealand was safe from my 2 small jars of honey! When the bag was safely in the hands of Air New Zealand, they had me sign a paper and they left me alone. From there, it was a visit to customs and immigration to get my exit stamp on my passport and then I had several hours to kill at the airport until my Air New Zealand flight NZ8 left at about ...

... learnings moving forward (oh god, I'm getting into my marketing wordspeak again) ;) So I think that's really it. There's this misnomer that you just come back from an experience like that and just resume the life you left behind as though it never happened. But you can't. Really, how could you? You're not the same person. You've changed. The world that you left - which was designed to envelop and reflect back your personhood -- doesn't ...

... s and headed back to veg out in the hostel watching movies!! I hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol all day... I was so proud of myself. Once again I slept in till around 12 but didn't feel like venturing very far from home.. I wandered out. Grabbed a burger king and wandered around just.. Looking!!! But not for too long. around 1pm I found a sports bar which had about 6 screens showing different baseball and American football games so I found a perch at the bar and ...

... or maybe a future Blue Peter Make. For this weeks make you will need...! After that I headed to my hostel which is by far the nicest one I've stayed in on my whole trip. It's also in a great area for exploring. My first port of call was down to Powell St to get a three day transport pass. This is also where the cable carts get turned round by hand, pretty cool technology going on there. I ...

... examining the vegetation which clearly never sees snow and ice. Of course Super Bowl coverage is going full tilt - the restaurant/bar TVs were featuring it. (We just booked our next trip - sailing in the Grenadines in December 2008!!) The wonders of this technology!! We 're off for a late flight to Sydney later - so stay tuned!

... the tent up because it was far to windy and the tent just keep falling over with all the guide ropes in and to top it off a tent went rolling past us into the bush while we were trying to hold onto ours, so we packed the van back up and headed for a cheap motel So there you go, i will leave you with the pictures, best withes to Elizabeth Moxey on her recovery, I am glad to hear she is getting better, you had me worried for a while x All the best Ian x
