I left my heart in san Francisco

San fran. Is the most amazing place with its hills and marin layer- sometimes we didn't even see anything but fog there all day. We rode tram up the hillsides, seen a show, walked through a national park and drove to napa valley in a convertable to go wine tasting!!!

One thing I disliked about this place more than anything else is the
Coldness from the marine layer... The temperature could he anywhere from 52-65 degrees so I needed to buy a jumper, scarf and jeans!!

We decided to go on a couple of bus tours and a mini.boat tour. The buildings are soo pretty here cos they are all brightly coloured and Victorian. From all of the trips I lernt the following useless facts: the amount of wire in the golden gate bridge could wrap around the earth 3 times. There are more dogs in san fran than children. Alcatraz had only 300 prisoners at any one time. San fran was mostly made up of hippys.....

The wine tasting was so much fun and I felt so sophisticated ( the inner geordie child left my alcoholic body for the day.... Before I stepped on the bottom of my maxi dress and my boob popped out and I was literally the boob of every joke!)

But I have loved san fran and its cold ways.... I'm sure la will prove to be a good contrast :)

Viva las Vegas!

After a busy and tiring 4 days on las Vegas I am waiting for my flight to san fran. I have had the mist amazing time in las Vegas n would recommend it to everyone. The first 2 nights we stayed in the ballagio- which was amazing with a huge glass shower and electronic curtains!!! ( they caused a lot of amusement) and the comfyest bed I have slept in.

We met with jennis parents and went for tea and were invaded by the Newcastle crew- needless to say jennis parents didn't know what hit them meeting Laura and Kelly. The theme of the Vegas trip was gellato ice cream which went down a treat every time.

I feel like we have done so much whilst being here.... Getting very drunk off 6 dollar cocktails, dancing in the kyote ugly bar, seeing a show called zumqnity ( which was single handedly the wierdest experience of my life) and we also did a tour of the Hoover damn and I sang Katy Perry on a karioke Needless to say after this I crashed and burned last night and I'm feeling extremely tired today- but still hitting san fran with full force lol... 

Speak shortly :) xxxxx
