We arrived into a very mild San Francisco in a mildly excited state - as you would. As the 'great plan' was working well, our guide & coach meet us at the airport & off we went on a tour of the city. Mike, our guide is an absolute font of knowledge (some great, some very trivial - how we love trivia). Although we were all feeling a little jaded and the odd head was seen to nod, we drove up the Twin Peaks to view the city/harbour/bay. This was my third tour up the peaks and the best view to date. Usually the fog or mist hampers the view.
Then we headed done through the Castro with it's rainbow flags blowing in the breeze. A very colourful district and I even noticed a dog and owner dressed in matching singlet tops of sparkly pink. We then drove through streets of delightful of Victorian houses. Very choccy box.
From there we headed to the famous Golden Gate Bridge. The view from the Marin side is much better and as we were headed for Sausalito for lunch we drove over the bridge before stopping for more photos. (I'll upload those tonight).
I LOVE SAUSALITO! It's a lovely Devonport-type suburb and has a few fab shops too. Pam found the Christmas shop, so she's a happy girl. I had my traditional hotdog with everything for lunch and can not even begin to imagine how many calories it had.
Back over the bridge & to the hotel which is at Fishermans Wharf - so very handy to everything.
Got to rush now as we are off to the Pacific International Quilt Show in Santa Clara. More later..............
