San Francisco U.S.A

Thankfully San Fran looked a lot better in the morning, unfortunately our hostel looked worse!!! Thank god its only 3nights!!
We spent the day getting to know downtown San Fran including the shopping malls, we also spent a bit of time at pier 39..
no seals there unfortunately but there was hot chocolate or hand warmers!!
We went across to Alcatraz today, it was really good, really enjoyed it! Paul has been before but he still got a lot out of it.  There is so much history to the island its unreal! When we arrived we watched a brief film, then had a guided tour around the island..we then went into the cells and had an audio guide, it was excellant! We also got really good views of the golden gate bridge and San Francisco!
Tomorrow we are leaving for Seattle, our flight is in the morning so we are very early...!
The hostel has got a free meal evening tonight, think its shepherds pie?? Not convinced myself but think we are going to test it out, free food after all! Last night we went out for an indian which was good not sure it will be quite the same experience tonight??
