The Unleased Bruce Lee

Last Post from USA

This is the last post, I write here in the land of opportunity, since it already in less than 24 hours later is towards home.
I will begin here with d
he called the second last city on my tour, Santa Cruz , and 'Surf City'. This pleasant seaside town offers the beautiful Beaches, Boardwal k and numerous surfing spots a lot of fun and variety. First I went to the Boardwalk, where allegedly the last to be in the United States. It is a large amusement park with roller coasters, haunted houses, Losständen and all that still belongs to it. Admission is t free because it is the way to the beach, that is, e rides and the cost but not too tight. From the slightly elevated Boar dwalk it also has a good view of the beach, which was an advantage, because the this day was a beach football instead of competition. It was a pretty big event, as it were played de on about 20 places at once. I am not Fußballf on, but by the small field to the beach, the football Spile fast and exciting. The fact that been played in all age groups, were keeping it interesting. When I had spent some time watching with me, I went to Fisherman's Wharf, a pier, on the jet zt are many restaurants which offer some fresh and cheap seafood. On the pier you also can fish, rent boats and kayaks or watch the sea lions audible from afar, which broadly set out on the webs of the boatman. These huge creatures are part of the webs criss-cross each other in the sun and relax. The idyll is only through the stän digestion roar of the most larger animals interrupted. After that I went towards the small lighthouse, which now houses a surf museum. This is small, but it conveys well why this sport is a Solc h e attraction and fascination. Moreover, it is on the way over to the Museu m of beautiful cliffs, rolling in the vicinity of the best waves for surfers at the beach.
then went further with Sa
n Francisco, where I first drove to the motel, which I the internet picked out and had moved into a room. When you check in, I learned that this is a 'known' Motel, partly because this was the fi lm 'The Pursuit of Happyness' with Will Smith turned. Since this was also the last day that I still had the car, beschlo ß I to visit the more distant targets. These included the "49 Mile Drive 'and the' Golden Gate Bridge '. The 49 Mile Drive is a well-marked path that leads past numerous attractions. However, one must pay close attention, the signs are partially Trees and bushes covered and thus difficult to detect. also blocked a portion of the route and detour signs was a bit unfortunate, contributed also helps that I am et what stressful. The Golden Gate Bridge is an impressive structure. I was only disappoint t, that they see in the fog and difficult to photograph it was. I turned off the car in a parking lot and decided to cross the bridge on foot. This decision turned out everything as a right decision, because after I had 3 / 4 crosses began to clear the fog and the building could be seen almost completely. So I could have also agreed to make e Aufnamen good about it. It was otherwise well, that the fog clears, because on the bridge it was very windy, so did that the sun coming out pretty well. The next day I went to National to zurüchzugeben my rental car. This was unexpected and was done without problems after 1 minute. I gave only the key (but unfortunately forgot my key ring, which I had bought in St. Augustine as a souvenir to take off ...) and after the employee had entered the mileage of the whole thing was also done so. The car was not even examined grossly for damage. After that I ran my the BART to downtown to take the boat to Alcatraz to afflict. Unfortunately w arene for this day sold out all seats for the next day but were still some available. Since I still had time for a whole day, I bought one of these cards and then went onwards. I got past the Pier 39 , which I immediately saw off operations. The fragrance exudes the many restaurants I was reminded once again that I had forgotten to eat. How the I Wed r one of the restaurants and my choice fell on 'Bubba Gump Shrimp ' which I had already seen desöfteren but never entered the restaurant. The whole chain is based on the movie 'Forrest Gump' and is reared funny. It is on the map 'Bubba's Favorites', 'Lt.Dan's drunken shrimp' and other, related to the film courts. Also ask out the Kelner and something from movie knowledge. Funny also how the system is to Kelner's can I draw your attention. Sun posts on every table has a stand with 2 metal signs. If no one waiter required, it can be the blue 'RUN FORREST, RUN'. If you need one so it works this way and there is a red 'STOP FORREST STOP' to the fore. After looking at a large dose of various Shr had incorporated imps, I moved on to ' Hyde Street Pier ' may be attached to which various old ships and other exhibits, what to do with the shipping have on display. The next and last day I had time, I went to Alcatraz and I must admit that I was surprised. The buildings Only Partially restored, so that the site FOURTH an interesting historical and transitory nature symbolism . By the prison cells, we are led by an audio tour, which is also available in German. One learns a lot about the spectacular escape attempts, the prisoners and the otherwise boring daily life. Even the inevitable souvenir shop was gestalltet informative. But what has surprised me most was nic ht the prison, but the flora and fauna, which is mittlerwei le has settled on the island. If you look at the romantic flowers look, you can almost forget there are too on the infamous prison island. I was also really glad that weather permitting and the sun shines, because on the island it is so windy that I do not at all imagine how well it is here when it rains, hail, snow or autumn wind storms.
That's it, the rest I can tell you live soon, if interested. See you soon.

PS: the total mileage of the trip amounts to 10,857 miles / 17.473Km what about the 2.5 - Three times my normal annual range corresponds
