Day 100 - San Diego, California, USA
Day 100 – September 16th 2005 -8:00 GMT
Went out around 11am and walked along the water front, we have now made it back to the Pacific Ocean. We walked around the seaport village and had some lunch.

Then went to the Museum of Contemporary Art which unfortunately was shut until 29th September. So we decided to go on a two hour boat cruise up and down the coast. We all got half price tickets and boarded the boat. The Guide was a bit dull and obsessively talked about his time in the Navy. The coastline of San Diego is filled with Navy boats, planes and helicopters. There are several Aircraft carriers and battle class destroyers and submarines docked.

We all got a bit sun burnt on the boat as the wind cooled us down while the sun burnt us.

We then got a train to Old Town which is the oldest part of San Diego and has been reconstructed to how it would have originally looked. They still have tinsmiths and town grocers etc there.

We then got the train back to the Gas Lamp Quarter and chilled in the Hostel for a couple of hours. We then visited a great Indian Restaurant on 6th Street called Monsoon I had a Chicken Mint Curry. We then had a couple of pints at a local bar before turning in for the night.
