Today we ventured out of the city and headed to Monterey Bay, to have a look at the Fisherman’s Wharf and the famous cannery row. I’m not sure how much commercial fishing is carried out there anymore but the tourist trade is alive and well. Fisherman’s Wharf … an arty shot Cannery Row … a…
Before we left home we listed and mapped all the things we wanted to see in San Francisco. I then promptly forgot to load them into my gps. Doh! Over breakfast this morning armed only with my trusty phone I discovered a self guided tour put out by the city called the “49 mile scenic…
So today was about punishment. – being punished – cab punishment – place of punishment. The one thing I just don’t understand is shopping. What is the fascination of going into shop after shop looking at stuff. And shoes. Don’t even get me started on that one! Now that my girls are old enough they…
From Paso Robles we headed north east to Fresno and through Yosemite National Park before heading west to San Francisco. It maybe a long way for a shortcut but we really wanted to take in some of the American landscape. And today did not disappoint! What was interesting was the changes in the landscape. From…
Today we picked up our rental car for the next few days. We wanted to hire an American car as we’re in the states so we booked a Jeep but instead we were upgraded to a Chevy Traverse. It’s quite a nice car to drive, all leather interior, goes pretty well, and more importantly heaps…
How do you know that you’ve had too much of a good thing? a) a roller coaster is a chance to get off your feet. b) the only real danger of going into a dark haunted house is falling asleep. c) you stand for an hour watching a great show only to wonder how long…
Day 2 started a lot better. Today we went to Disney California Adventure land which had a very different feel to it. It’s a bit more … … I don’t really know. American. Rather than fairytale. Our original plan with the 3 day pass was 2 days at Disneyland and 1 at California adventure. But…
What can I say about Disneyland? I really didn’t know what to expect and I think it has been so hyped over the years that the expectation was never going to be met. It didn’t help that we had the VIP treatment at universal studios where we didn’t have to line up at all for…
Well today was meant to be a cruisey day. Sleeping in, checking out late, then make our way down to Anaheim where we are staying for the next 4 days. And just chill. Instead we were up early and on our way to Hollywood where we spent the next 5 hours checking out the sights…
Today was all about the movies with a visit to universal studios. Before we left we organised our tickets and we thought we’d splurge and get front-of-line tickets which gives you some front of line entitlements to rides and shows but when we got there this morning we upgraded further to the VIP experience. Yes…
