Breakfast was ok - breakfast burritos were on offer together with my favourite cereal combination of Honey Loops and Bran with Raisins - they taste fabulous.

Woke early again and I ended up using my laptop in the bathroom from about 5am whilst I was waiting for Vick to wake.  Sad really that I can’t go back to sleep!

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.
