Bridge day. The last day :(

Why hello there!

Today is my last day in San Fran :( Well, actually it’s my last morning now !!! I have to be on a shuttle at 7:45am and I haven’t even packed – uh oh! Nevermind

It was so grey today. I’ve been wearing my funky kathmandu to keep me warm ! Its quite cosy :)

The party (the ‘renegade’ one) happened but i didnt. I feel asleep in what they call the ‘ballroom’ about 3am and woke up about 3:40am and the dudes I was going with had gone to bed ’cause they didn’t seem me asleep! So annoyed!!!!!!!!!!

But I got up this morning and to the bridge I went. Now, i was spectacle about the amazingness of the said bridge (golden gate for those who wonder) and I’ll be honest here – it’s really not that good. It’s just a damn bridge. AND i felt sick when i looked down and got dizzy when I looked up. Its WAY too high. It was quite horrible ! I even saw the ‘cables’ wobble which I didn’t expect.

Also, I walked alll the way to this fort right beside it becasue apparently (so lonely planet and thousands of other toursity type stuff told me) it was an awesome place to take photos from when standing on the top! So i get there – yay i can take good photos – and the very top level is closed. BA BAWM! As its a fort the other levels don’t look out to the bridge.

And, its not GOLD. its (and I quote) ‘international’ orange.

I walked from one place to another (again) today. I’ll be glad to sit on a plane and do nothing for like 2 hours tomorrow. I walked to the other side of the bridge and realised that I had no clue how to get back on the ferry so I just turned around. hahah. they english dudes I’ve met while I’m here did the same thing but they caught the ferry. and apparently it’s quicker=/ oh well…

Tonight I’ve been trying to upload photos and wanted an early one (whoops). they had two live bands and another guy that sat infront of his mac and a guitar and didn’t do a lot – tho’ he was okay… but yes that was my last night in sssaaaan fraaaaancsico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They turned back the clocks here last night so I’m now like an hour closer to Perth time! YAY!

OH!! before i forgett. last nigth was halooweeen hahahah all the americans (and saome from the hostel) got dressed up and not in scary stuff just ANYTHING! and went out. I sat at the window with some guys and laughed all night. at 2am the cops went through the streets yelling “okay this is enough, everyone is to go home now!” it was so insane!!! hahah people have had pumpkins by their door and everything!! really weird..

Anyway sleep time for me and such! OH but wait – I took a wallabies photo
today <3 I’ll post it later!!!

xoxo
