So yesterday was the longest traveling day ever for me and
Chris. I personally hardly slept the night before (due to excitement), and
Chris only got short patches of sleep. So to say that we stayed awake from 4am
to 4am the next day. So a whole 24hrs awake. The first challenge in the morning
was simply getting all the bags in the car, Mark managed this with a little
help from Chris.
Got to the airport, which I have to say looks great.
Terminal 2 is so new and shiny and really easy to get around, they did tell us
it would be a 20-25 minute walk to our gate. We all managed it in about
10minutes…..
Hayley and me got a free drink of the new Pimm’s in duty
free (which I then bought a bottle of, there’s some good marketing) before even
boarding the plane and Chris picked himself up a bottle of Jim Beam (which he
managed to discreetly drink half of during the flight). It’s a shame everyone
else had to sit on my row otherwise I would have fit to use the row like a bed.
But other than some minor apple pie throwing from Tim and
Chris the journey went smoothly and we arrived just after 1:00pm local time. We
then had to wait ages to get through immigration (our line was the only one
that didn’t move) and then pick up bags and get the car. Getting the car took
an age as they didn’t have the car Mark had books available but it all worked
out as now we have a beastly car that is pretty awesome.
We then got to the hotel La Luna got freshen up and settled
and then headed out to eat down the road. We didn’t take to many pictures at
this point as we were pretty much dead on our feet.
The plan today is to book the Alcatraz tour and looking into
booking bikes the cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge, then heading to China town
for lunch or dinner and just has a general wander. The weather is beautiful couldn’t
ask for better.
