San Francisco was an interesting stop for me on my travels. I went with high hopes, which were shattered, but then remade into something even better than their original form. Lost? Let me explain.... When in Portland i was in a hiking shop and was reading about San Francisco and the number of hikes in the area which turned out to be quite a large number. This was a big relief as I had booked 6 nights in this city for some reason. When i turned up to San Fran and asked about these hikes i was told that they were [View Full Entry]

It has now been one month since our return to the San Francisco Bay Area. Our homecoming was everything we hoped it would be: the soft chill of fog, delicious home cooked meals, warm blankets over huge (queen sized) beds, familiar faces, endless hugs and plans. Since our return, we have been living with my mom and step-father in the beautiful coastal town of Pacifica. It is about 20 minutes south of San Francisco, but you would never be able to tell. The rolling hills, the ocean views and the endless trees are far more amazing then I remembered them. It [View Full Entry]

Hallo allemaal, Daar ben ik weer! De vierde week op de universiteit zit er alweer op. Ik ben deze week weer gaan dansen, maar dit keer was er een soort evenement op Union Square, das zeg maar De Dam van San Fransisco maar nog veel gaver.

Het idee was een beetje dat je gewoon naar een willekeurige man (of vrouw, als je man bent) toe liep en dan, nou ja, vroeg of ze wilde dansen. Ik was [View Full Entry]

July 28 - July 31 After a hectic three days in the UK after the excitement of Africa we set off on the next part of our adventure - the U S of A! In a rare blast of creativity for an accountant, Simon has written the next few posts... We arrived in San Francisco airport with our bags both weighing over 21kg and further smaller bags draped from our bodies to get the Metro into the city and to our hostel for the next 3 nights. The hostel turned out to be just what we were expecting, big and full [View Full Entry]

Alcatraz - August, 8 We were in luck. The day we had picked to return to San Fran was as clear and sunny as the locals can ever experience so we stopped off at the Golden Gate bridge on the way to the Alcatraz ferry to get a good look from both ends. It really is a spectacular structure but it’s hard to get a good photo with the crowds all doing the same. We eventually found our spot half way up a mountain on the far side of the bridge and off to Alcatraz we went. It’s a bit hard [View Full Entry]
