Staying? Going?

Its all over now, today we are supposed to fly back to Sydney. We checked out of the hotel at around 2pm so then we were left to walk around Union square until it was time to go to the airport.

The 4th of July

The great mall is located about 50 miles south-east of San Francisco and being a sunday the there were problems getting into contact with the bus company for information.

So after this we wondered through the Japan Town Shopping center where we had lunch, Yudon and Sushi...
