Goodbye San Francisco!

After Alcatraz, and nigh collapsing from walking all over the city, we decided to spend our last day in San Francisco by getting the Trams everywhere! That way travel in style. It was a mighty queue for the tickets but one hour and a McDonalds milkshake later we clutched our day passes in our hands and rode the tram uphill to Lombard Street; The most crooked street in the World. We hopped back on the tram and took it around the city before getting back to Pier 39 for some shopping and lunch. Then going back to the hostel to collect our bags and start walking to the bus terminal to catch the Green Tortoise sleeper coach for our Yosemite NP 4-day tour.
The tour started at 9pm that night, in which you all sleep during the four hour journey in the coach on bunks or on the platforms made up and then when you wake up you're in Yosemite National Park. It's a really nice idea....in theory. but I could not sleep in the sleeper coach because frankly sleeping horizontally on a bed in a moving coach is weird!
