Tina's Quick Trip Back to San Francisco

Soooo close to coming back home now it's unfair.

Today took a little jaunt up to Liverpool Lil - a pub up towards the Presido. Tiny little place and soooooo dark. But nice friendly people etc, etc.

Then walked up to Pacific Heights, bit of a mistake there as very, very steep but it was quite cool today so didn't get too tired.

Then walked to Alta Plaza, then caught a bus thinking I was going downtown but didn't went the other way. Got off nere Presido and changed buses and then got another bus down past Haight Ashbury and back into downtown. Didn't get off at Haight as it's a waste of space and time. Too many druggies who've just lost the plot and living in a past life.

Last pictures are of around San Francisco, just downloading as many piccies to open up space on memory card for tomorrow.......

Missed so88ing tour bus!!!!

Was supposed to be going to Monteray and Carmel this morning. Got up at ungodly hour and spent ages waiting for bus. Phoned them about 9.10 a.m. and was told they thought I was staying at Hilton International!!!!!

As if, while I'm sure that the Hilton is a really nice place it's not quite the same facilities as Hostel International but I'm sure they try (ha!).

So the call of the retail drug made me go shopping. That was after I took a quick ferry over to Tilburon. I was trying to get a friend for Claude (he was a bleached wood bird I got last time - still in it's box I think but soooo cute) so thought I'd buy a friend for him and the shop is shut!!!! Disaster - walked all over and around the boardwalk area where the shop was last time and it's not moved just gone. Claude will be devastated!!!

So went shopping in all the posh shops today, Macy, Nostro- something and peed all the sales staff off - Love it! But was very good and only bought a sweatshirt and that was from Abercrombie & Fitch, though when I get to customs I bought nothing I swear.

Sooooo - booked another trip to Monteray and Carmel for Thursday so hopefully will get up in time as I have to get over to Fishermans Wharf for about 8.30 a.m. Eeek!

Trying to think what I did yesterday and now remember....

Thinking of my waistline I did the walk over to Sausilito again - madness. Walked from here at Fort Mason down the Marina/Chrissy Fields promonade thing, across the bridge, then down the other side into Sausilito and got ferry back. Was ok this time as when I started off it wasn't too hot - just was later!

Also as I walked into Sausilito the were these guys fishing and they caught a ray. How sad, felt very sorry for it as they just cut the line and threw it back in. When I asked they said it'd be too cruel to take out the hook as it was barbed or something but surely it would be still be cruel to leave it in as it'd mean the ray couldn't feed anyway????? Sad!

Downloaded my piccies again at 'Copy Central' even forgot my memory card reader and they dug one out for me - sooooo helpful!
