I woke up late and wasn't
feeling so great and there was a tour to alcatraz errr starting at 9.
Anyways jumped a cab down to pier 33, bought a 5 dollar powerade and a
crap coffee on the boat and started feeling human again.
The trip to the rock was awesome. It was a gorgeous day and got to see half the city around to the golden gate bridge and the north of the bay.
Everyone got off the boat and when we landed we were subjected to some health and safety speeches. Obviously living in such a litigious society you need to spell out any common sense less you get sued for duty of care because someone fell off the side of the rock.
Anyways I got a brochure for a dollar and took the audio walking tour. The guys voice was super annoying and slow so I turned it off halfway through and just walked around. The conditions in there looked pretty bad. There were a couple of things that were pretty interesting that i had no idea about. The place was originally built as a military fort and native Americans occupied it as a protest in the 60s.
Anyways I really needed some food about 11 and there was nothing on the island besides chips and hershey bars or whatever yanks eat so I took the next boat back. Walked into the finance district and had some pork neck sliders which were pretty good.
I had a bit of a walk around then went back to the hotel for a power nap which lasted about 2hrs. I got back up after that and had a refreshing ale then went to meet heidi and heather for dinner after they finished the conference.
We went to a Spanish place called bocadillos for some tapas. Heidi couldn't believe that we had a vial of oil to pour over the jamon. If there is one thing jamon needs its more oil.Heather ordered a glass of cider which came in a round tumbler which if it had a blue lid it probably would have looked like a sample of something else yellow coloured.
After that we went home via a bar which had pounding pounding techno music. We noticed this lot that were having a bottle of whiskey at the table. Why doesn't Australia sell spirits by the bottle? It's like we're a bunch of lightweights that can't handle our booze.
Also am loving the free pours with cocktails and spirits over here and there only pints, schooners don't exist. There's also a lot of microbrewews on tap so I haven't had to have any budwizer yet. The only horrible beer i've had so far was some Mexican stuff called XX. The lack of 2 extra x's is obviously why it's shit.
