We caught the 8am train to San Diego, checked into the Hi Hostel on Market Street!
After a much needed yogurt and coffee stop we decided to hire a bike and take a short 4 mile cycle along the harbour. In typical Bramley style we ventured further, crossing bridges, freeways & some rather busy junctions. After about an hour and a half, we decided we may not be going in the right direction so enlisted the help of an elder who escorted us to Pacific Beach were we devoured our packed sandwiches! Then with froyo in sight, we cycle around the loop to Mission Beach, got a tasty frozen yogurt and Rachel got a walk down J1 memory lane in the Arcade at Bellmont Park!
Further we cycled, reaching Sunset Cliffs after about three and a half hours on the bikes with no gears!! The much talked about earthquake didn't stop us, and then it happened AGAIN we got lost! After an unhelpful man told us we would have to endure a mile up hill, Rachel enrolled the help of our knight in shining armour Jason, who loaded our bikes into the back of his white truck and dropped us back to the harbour. From here we had 25 minutes to get back to the bike shop before it closed, we literally peddled our bums off - but made it!!
After a well deserved shower & blowdry we got some Thai, strolled Gaslamo district and had a good cry (well Rach & I) to 'You're not you' on Netflix.
