I chose to get the coach as I thought it would be more scenic. The drive down from San Francisco to LA via the coast is supposed to be one of the most beautiful. The coach did not do this route. I saw lots of farms and dry land but it wasn’t an impressive journey. … More Day Fifteen, Los Angeles
I woke up still tired from Yosemite and regretted booking such an early ticket to Alcatraz. I wanted a lie in desperately by this point. The ferry departed from Pier 33 which was a twenty minute bus ride. I got there early and was only in the second line of queues. We had to go … More Day Fourteen, San Francisco
Yosemite. Today I got to visit Yosemite. It was worth getting up early, the 8 hour drive there and back again, and the expense.

I realise this is terrible to admit but I love the tast of bran flakes, mmm bran. The shower in my hostel was rather awkward that morning as … More Day Six, Portland
I journeyed up to Freemont today to see this troll. Freemont is a really cool area with so many statues of seemingly odd things such as Lennin, Clowns, and people at a bus stop. Randomly, on my way to a hash shop -it’s legal and I was curious- I decided to stop at a local … More Day Four, Seattle
