Today was a very long day... To be more precise, we got up this morning at 5:30, and the current time is 23:30, including the 9 hour time difference...
We started the journey in Antwerp, Belgium. We took the train to Schiphol (don't ask why we would travel to Antwerp first, to travel back to Schiphol... long story, and I am tired now...).
After a long flight, we arrived at San Francisco International Airport. Yves van Looy was already there, waiting for us at the arrivals. We were taken to the hotel to check in, and after that, we took off to the Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf hotel. After a warm welcome by a group of demonstrants (BOYCOTT THIS HOTEL!!!), the official program started:
The bike tour over the Golden Gate Bridge... The bridge in itself is not the problem here, rather the road to the bridge is rather challenging, with very steep ascends and decends. We finally made it to the bridge; it was a great experience to bike it! Especially after having sat down for over 10 hours at 38000 feet, the excercise was very welcome.

Photo Moment...
And after a very exciting descend after the bridge, we took the ferry back to San Francisco
With a beautifully setting sun...
After this great experience we took diner in the Hard Rock Cafe. Now, everyone is tired, and we're ready to go to sleep.
Tomorrow will be packed with activities, but that is another story for another day.
Off to bed now :-)
Thanks for keeping me up-to-date on the whereabouts of my axi collegues ;-)
