5. On one lovely day the lady friend of mine took a taxi (which was fairly cheap in price) into union square to indulge in some much needed retail therapy, whilst I hired a bike for the day (many to choose from, in the area, which are all affordable, $20 dollars or so) and cycled off exploring along the bay area with my provided map which led me over the golden gate bridge and over to the other side Sausalito, which was amazing.
