Well its a bit chilly in San Francisco!
Our hotel was pretty central (on Market Street) so we were close to all the action. We headed out on the first night for a quick look around and planned on going to the cinema in the big METREON complex. Its fair to say our hotel wasn't located in the nicest of areas....when we walked out we were confronted by half the cities homeless population! Anyway we waded through, got our bearings and had a bite to eat. We realised that we had no idea what any of the films were about so gave it a miss and headed back to the hotel.
Next morning we were up and ready for a tram trip and bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge. The tram was cool and we got to see a few areas of the city we haven't been to before. Had a bit of a disaster with the bikes though as they were demanding a $500 deposit just to rent one for a day, considering the rental was less than $30 each we told them where to go! Instead we wandered around the pier area, did a bit of shopping and walked back through town. We decided to do some film research and head back to the cinema, choosing the latest movie from Peter Jackson called District 9. The plot basically involved an alien invasion of South Africa by prawn like creatures....sounded like an absolute winner.....!
All in all we didn't really achieve much here, but as we have already been here and done the best things we weren't to disheartened. It was nice to recharge the batteries on out last day on the West Coast.
