San Francisco, California, USA: 238 kms (6242 kms)

It's San Francisco, baby! Oh and look, the sun's shining again. What a shocker. More evidence to confirm my theory posted Thursday 11th September. Frisco appears as cosmopolitan as I expected it to be and will be investigated further over the next two days. I fully intend to bimble, amble, get into adventures and sample a few American traditions like baseball and credit crunching!

Incidentaly, anyone thinking of a motorcycling trip could do little better than to ride Highway 1 down the American west coast. The ride was some of the best road riding I've experienced to date. Death loomed on every corner with sheer drops into the Pacific Ocean to the right and more bends than a deep sea diver! But your intrepid explorer held his nerve and rode over the Golden Gate Bridge unscathed and without any sign of the Californian mist the bridge is so famous for. Yet another classic day, I'm afraid to say. Sorry.

It's nice to hear that the American bashing has come to a complete stop. Turns out it isn't such a bad place after all, huh? Compared to England anyway...
