(^72) San Rafael – San Francisco - 35 km
A short cycle led over the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and into San
Francisco. Shortly past the bridge, I met a cyclist who accompanied
me in finding a hostel. Unfortunately, the first one we enquired at was
full. So, we continued past the waterfront to the next one, but only
after stopping for coffee and a bagel. The Adelaide Hostel turned out
lovely (a tad pricy but so were all hostels in SF). It came with a
complimentary breakfast and a highly central location.
I used the internet to catch up on online work but discovered I had
lost my daily journal.
I further discovered my phone’s SIM card slot faulty; no wonder my
phone never had an internet connection. The Garmin map bought in
Seattle never loaded on my device, so I emailed them to inquire
about what to do. As if that wasn’t enough, my camera lens got stuck
(after dropping the camera). Although still functioning, it lost the
auto-focus. At the camera store, I bought a new lens. It wasn’t high
quality, but it had an 18-200mm lens, replacing the two I had
previously carried.
