At Pier 39!

In the Fisherman's Wharf!

At Lombard Street!

At the Golden Gate bridge!

Having lunch!

We found a nice little coffee house in Geary Blvd with good sandwiches so we decided to eat here!

Going out to explore San Francisco

Since my uncle needed to orfanize his things to travel back to Brazil we could not stay in the woods.

We're at a cheep hotel and are now going out to explore the city!

No place to sleep again...

One more time we are looking for a place to sleep but can't find anything in the San Francisco area. Every hotel is too expensive, even the very bad ones. No campgrounds available.

So we will ride towards the Golden Gate bridge and cross it, then look for a place to ride our tents in the woods somewhere in the state patk the got there.

We'll see what happens...

Lunch time!

Look at that, pizza again! Haha

In front of Google's headquarters!

What a nice place Mountain View is, with open wifi, trees, friendly people and bike lanes everywhere!

San Francisco here we go!!

We are now close to Mountain View and are riding towards San Francisco downtown!!

Insane mountains yesterday

Yesterday Google has put us through a route that crossed the peak of many mountains going towards the San Francisco area.

Check out the road we rode on, it's called Charlie Mountain road. Really insane! One day I want to take someone witn me there and make that route with a car... No one will believe we did that route with fully loafed bicycles... Haha

Camping went just fine

In the end we found a spot and set up our tents and slept very well for ablut 5 hours on the side of Highway 1, hidden by a few trees.

This morning we woke up early and packed everything. We're now going towards San Bruno!

The mountains in this region are beautiful!!

So here we are...

...camping on a hidden spot of a barely used bike trail, on the street. Behind our tents is highway 1. Hopefully no one will come mess around with us.

We are planning to wake up just after sunrise and pack before people start passing here.

Camping in the wild

For the first time in this trip we did not find a place to stay. We're in Santa Cruz, CA right now and all hotels are way too expensive, RV parks do not accept tents and. campgrounds are full...

We had diner at a Subway, will use their restroom to brush teeth and make some hygiene and them will head to a desert bike trail close to the beach. There we will look for a hidden spot to set up our tents and hope no one will bother us before tomorrow morning.

Let's see what happens!

Met some nice riders on the road

We met them at a gas station had a nice time chatting about bicycle touring. I saw for the first time electronic bicycle gear shifting, very high tech stuff!

We're now add a city called Castroville having some coffee and then we'll depart for Santa Cruz, CA!

In the Monterey Aquarium

As expected, one of the best of the  country!! We had a great time.

Monterey is awesome!

We're and the fisherman's wraf on Monterey, CA!

This is an amazing place, we're having a great time walking around and seeing all the stores in the pier!

We will soon had to the aquarium, but I'm not sure ww will be able to get in with all these bags...

Can't post pictures of the day in real time today, there is no 3G coverage here for sprint.

Tonight I'll post all the details of what we did in this amazing city!
