We were invited to take a tour and have breakfast at Googleplex this morning, so we woke up bright and early in Santa Cruz before driving up to silicon valley and we couldn't help but giggle when we got stuck behind the Yahoo bus.
We'd watched part of the Internship on the flight over, so we were excited to see if the campus was really as exciting as it looked in the movie. There was a giant T-Rex, slide, space ship and an awesome Google Earth simulator.
We tucked in to tasty Mexican food in the canteen before heading out on the hunt for a self-driving car.
We spotted one driving around the campus and attempted to follow it and see where it was going but it was far too zippy for us to keep up.
After the fun of the Google campus and getting to meet some of the people we work with, we headed in to downtown San Francisco to grab lunch.
Iain recommended we check out Sushiritto which serves gigantic burrito style sushi rolls. They were amazing and super filling.
We ate our lunch next to the bay with Alkatraz in the distance and a seagull waiting for our crumbs.
We couldn't come to San Francisco without doing a little bit of work on our website like everyone else, so we stopped in to a hipster coffee shop in the Mission District to catch up on the internet.
We then stopped off at Vista Point to take some photos of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset.
There was an adorable family of racoons living next to the bridge. I couldn't believe how tame they were and I was able to get really close and take photos.
We were just about to leave when we got a text from Stephanie aka Twinkie Chan asking if we wanted to hang, so we spun the car around and headed back in to town.
Her and Matt treated us to dinner at an awesome Burmese restaurant called B Star B where I tucked in to a tasty tea leaf salad.
Afterwards we went to an Oriental supermarket to pick up hot egg puffs (something I'd never tried before but they were delicious) and weird snacks.
We got some awesome little cookies that look like burgers.
We had so much fun hanging out that we really didn't want to leave but we'd booked a hotel several hours up the motorway and Tom was starting to look sleepy.
