San Francisco, all the way to Reno....

Greetings from Nevada's second gambling capital, Reno!


Clare and I had a nice couple of days in San Fran, we had the biggest lunch ever down at Bubba Gump's cafe (Dee-lux fishwich with a leviathan portion of fries, tasty) down at Pier 39 after checking out the sea-lions. We then walked from there all the way out to the Golden Gate Bridge (a very long way!), but it was well worth it as the bridge is awesome. We walked about 1/4 the way over the bridge before my vertigo kicked in and we had to turn back (yeah, yeah, I'm a wuss!). On the way back we (wisely) got the bus, taking in the very steep and crooked Lombard Street. Clare picked up some new shoes after her flip-flops based 'faux-pas' walking out to the bridge.


This morning we caught the early train from SF to Reno. The trains here are really comfortable, and the views as we passed through the Sierra Nevada on the way to Reno were awesome. However, the trains here appear to work on geological time - I swear I could run faster than the pace we were going at. But it was all good though.


Going to stay in Reno a few days (it's like a bigger version of Blackpool, but in the mountains) and will hopefully take in Pyramid Lake tomorrow which is a local beauty spot about 25 miles from here. Then it's off to the Mormon capital of the world, namely Salt Lake City, Utah, for a few days. Random choice, we know.

Will try and get some photo's up when we get to use a PC where we can get to the USB ports. In the meantime, hope all it good with everyone.
