Day 4 - Sept 9th - Eye Spy With My Little Eye

Hey Up,

Another night spent at Prairie Creek Redwoods, we woke up to a bird trying to break into Sophies peanut stash which was accidently left out overnight in a plastic box. There was a huge amount of mist that arrived during the night and hung over the trees.

After breakfast we packed up and hit the road for our 8 hour journey to San Francisco. The journey we took is below.

This was an extremely long drive!! There was alot of sleeping going on.

And some craziness!!!

We stopped off in one or two towns along the way namely Eureka, which can only be described as a hole and a pretty sweet little town called Garberville where we grabbed some lunch. But all in all the drive was amazing with some rugged coast and tiny roads through some amazing forests.

As the miles on the signs for San Francisco grew smaller we were awaiting the first sight of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was kind of misty so it was difficult but when we turned a bend on the huge 6 lane freeway we saw it off in the distance. We finally crossed it at around 8pm having left at 10am signalling the end was near.




After driving up some extremely steep San Francisco streets and hoping the van could hack it we finally reached our hotel which would be home for the next 3 days.

We were all too tired to do anything that involved any type of movement. So we just ordered in pizza that arrived about an hour and a half late (we got it free of charge).

Sin e.
