San Fran-disco

After arriving last night and staying at the beautiful Sir Francis Drake hotel we decided on a tour of the city to start off the day. After buying a pair of Keds to walk in (my 13 year old self is shitting herself) we spent 3 hours of ooh-ing and ahh-ing at a bunch of buildings, but I've got to say the Golden Gate bridge was pretty impressive. The buildings looked very Melbourne like as the city was flattened in 1906 by an earthquake (everything here is measured by earthquake eras it's weird).

After that we set out to Alcatraz. We did the only tour that you can actually walk on Alcatraz (not just sail around it). Did a really lame (but actually pretty cool) audio tour around the prison, they even had ex-residents speaking on it and telling stories/their experiences.

Finally a little shopping (they have a sports Calvin Klein here - its awesome) and some yummy French for dinner and now I'm just back at the hotel ready for a big sleep :)

Love
