Woke at a decent time in Monterey and we made some last minute changes to our destination (see later).  We wanted to fit in a visit to the Monterey Aquarium which only opened at 10am.  So we kept our journey distance to 80 miles.

Woke at the normal time in a faily overcast San Francisco.  Breakfast wasn’t any better than yesterday - this continental stuff is no good for a Full English guy!

Slept well after watching the tennis last night (Hewitt vs Gasquet), but woke at 6am and couldn’t get back to sleep!  So I messed about trying to get my laptop working and managed to wake Vick so she wasn’t best pleased.

Woke at 3am and 5:30am again this morning.  Vick managed to sleep through to nearly 7am.  The weather in Crescent City reflected our view of the city itself - dull and overcast.  The mist was still hanging around.
