Po tom co sme opustili Samuel P. Taylor State Park, v mrazivom rane, sme sa ocitli na prahu San Franciska, po zvysok dna sme sa prebojovavali cez male mestecka, hladajuc nejaky internet, aby sme si mohli najst nejakych warmshowers hostitelov v San Francisku. Nebolo to zdaleka take jednoduche, potrebovali sme ist na normalny pocitac, riesit to cez mobil bolo hodne zlozite, ale najst nejaku kniznicu tiez nebolo jednoduche. Nakoniec sme nasli jednu v Corte Madera a Baska ziskala nejake kontakty, ale nikto nebol volny, takze sme sa rozhodli ostat este pred San Franciskom v Golden Gate National Rec. Area, kde mal byt kemp zadarmo. Aj tak sme boli celkom unavany a na prechod San Franciskom sme si chceli dat chvilu pauzu. Po prichode do Sausalita sa nam otvorili prve vyhlady na San Francisko, Alcatraz a Golden Gate Bridge. Celkom pekna podivana. Nejaky casnik, ktory sa so mnou pustil do reci, zatial co Baska fotila mesto, nam daroval dva bochniky chleba. Do Bicentennial Campground sme dorazili skoro az za tmy a akurat sme tu stretli rangera. Pytal sa nas ci mame povolenie na kempovanie. To sme samozrejme nemali, blizke navstevnicke centrum, kde sa toto povolenie dalo vybavit, zavreli pred hodinou. Uz sme si zacinali mysliet, ze je to v kybli, ale ranger vytiahol vysielacku, velmi dolezito si vypytal nase doklady, nieco nadiktoval do vysielacky, vypisal trojmo nejake papiere a potom nam povedal, ze je to ok, mozeme tu prespat a dal nam vypisane povolenie, uz som bol uplne zblbnuty a chcel vytahovat peniaze, ocakavajuc nejaku horibilnu sumu za noclah, ale ono to bolo fakt zadarmo. Akurat to muselo byt nalezite prehnane byrokraciou, tak typickou pre USA. Takze sme nakoniec zaspavali s vyhladom na nocne San Francisko. Pred spanim sme si este vybehli na blizky kopec s byvalou delostreleckou bateriou, pokochat sa vyhladom (cela tato rekreacna oblast je byvala vojenska pevnost).
Today we left early in the morning and said goodbye to the other guys. It was pretty cold, nearly freezing. After we left redwoods, the rest of road led through towns and settlement around San Francisco. Our task for today was to find some library and get contacts to warmshowers hosts in San Fran. One we found in Corte Madera, but no hosts were available today. So we decided to stay at Golden Gate National Rec. Area. In Sausalito we saw San Francisco for the first time, nice view on the city, Alcatraz prison and Golden Gate Bridge. Some waiter gave us bread. And from buses with tourists we heard "Going to the San Francisco" song. When we finaly arrived to the camp we met there with ranger and he asked us if we have permit, becouse without it we cannot camp here. Of course we didn't have anything like this and visitor center where we could get one closed one hour ago. For while it looked bad, but than our ranger took our documents, played for while with radio and some papers and than finnaly we got permit to camp here. And all this procedure was necessery, even the camp is free :-) After we settle down, we walked on the top of the close hill and enjoyed night scenery of San Francisco in front of us.
