San Fran, hippies, hills, seals and sun.
Day one, Golden Gate Park. Golden Gate Park was way to big and long, I underestimated the size of the place and spent m ost the day here, walking to the coast and back to the hostel. 
The park is 1,017 acres and contains a stadium, a japanese tea garden, a few lakes, some windmills, a carousel, some buffalo, some other stuff and plenty of grass. After a long stroll pass some hippies and buffalo, I found myself at china beach, a surfers galor. From there I walked to Lincoln Park where I had great veiws of the bridge.
Day two and I hit Alkatraz. The small island off the coast is the home to the Alkatraz jail that
held Al Capone and the Bird Man. This place had a great audio tour, with voices from real prisioners and guards of that time. I had a great oldy vibe and was kept in the same nick it was back then. The jail only closed mainly due to a lack of sewage system.Day three and I walked to fishermans warf and toured round china town.
Fishermans warf was a bit like a sea front town, an upperclass
Gt Yarmouth. Many shops and piratey themed cafes lined the shore, along with pier 39 or 34 (I forget) where hundreds of seals have made thier home. China town was great, true busy china in a relaxed city, 
I saw alot of San Fran, too much for this blog, but come back soon to hear about Vegas. Bye!
