Last days of our Adventure

On Saturday morning, after our disaster, we took the bus to the Golden Gate Bridge. This journey was slightly more successful and cost just $1.25 each. The bridge was good, we took lots of photies and had a walk on it. After the Golden Gate Bridge, we took the bus back to Lombard Street - the crookedest street in San Fran. Then we had a successful lunch and went back to the hotel. In the evening we adopted the tried and tested formula of Subway and coffee and magazines at Borders.

Sunday we decided to have a last day of shopping and managed to buy shoes and bumear for Stephen John. We were proud of ourselves. We're really getting back into the swing of shopping! Another nice lunch later, we went to the cinema and saw Lost in Translation at the same time that it was winning three Golden Globes. After that it was Subway and Borders for tea. We're not boring! We read lots of UK magazines with reviews of 2003 - so it seems as though we have missed nothing.

After our last sleep abroad, we left the hotel and, after coffee and internetting, went to the airport. San Fran airport did not have that many shops, so we had to content ourselves with reading a magazine at the gate. After a full security check during "preboarding", we took our seats (by the emergency exit!) (although not in Business Class) and prepared for our 10 hour flight home. It was all over.
