| Bay Bridge & downtown |
So that's it, time to leave after 2 weeks in a city we love, it wasn't without its challenges as usual but there's always something that goes wrong and the wheelchair throwing a front wheel on the first day didn't help. It was only a day & half before we got it fixed but it screwed things up a bit plus Jane had to do more walking than planned to start with so that caused problems with her leg. The only other problems were some hills are steeper than I thought but it's not easy to work this out from Google Street View so that was always going to be a bit of a swing & a miss some days but on the whole we got through and seen some fantastic places that we haven't been to before but missed some as well. There seem to be a lot more crazy people here now so was verbally abused on a couple of occasions but you don't take that sort of thing personal here as most of the homeless are mentally ill, when somebody stops in the middle of the road and starts dancing while the police are waiting to cross that will give you an idea of what you come across most days. The hotel was a bit strange as they wanted a $100 per night deposit and at 13 nights we didn't budget for that but who would as there was no mention on the website about it. Turns out it max's out at $500 but we only had $400 on a prepaid credit card so they took that but the balance was available on Friday so drawn most of it out at the cash machine as you pay a conversation rate when you get back here and lose money on it. Flights all went ok and didn't get groped at the airport by the TSA but Jane did but you just go with the flow. So that's it from this blog I seem to sort out the most problems with the formatting of the text but may still look a little odd in parts. So check back on the photo page as the upload speed wasn't any good in the hotel and new albums will appear there when I've done them at home.
