SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA

Today we thought we would try to see more of this city rather than just certain parts, so we jumped on a tram to the wharf and had some breakie then got on a bus tour.
The tour was for two hours but Adam had an appointment so we couldn't do the whole tour. Instead we did a chunk of it but it was worth it!
We drove around and saw a heap of areas that we affected by the earthquake back in the early 1900's and how a particular part of the city is from the rubble. We drove past an area that had actual houses - the tour guide was saying they are the only houses in the area with a yard and are not for sale only lease. They had real good views too.
Then we went to the bridge.

They were doing roadworks so the bus didn't go over it which sux cuase we won't get time to do it ourselves but oh well, to be honest our bridge is way better and I've walked over and across that!
So then we saw some good views of the city on our way to the Golden Gate Park.



The park was pretty cool, its manmade and massive, its the biggest manmade park in USA. They even had eucalypt trees in there. Yeh thanks for that I'm feeling homesick as it is!! Inside it there was a few museums as well, one that looked like it would be good to see and we might go tomorrow.
After that we drove around the area more and had to get off for Adams appointment later. A few of the buses here are electric by rods above them, its freaky!


Oh and check out some of the houses here, the one in yellow was the front for Full House

So Adam did his thing then we headed back to the room. Saw this bit of 'art' on the way, made me think of you nerfs out there...


We walked back to the room - I think we walked a few k's today, feel the burn yeh!! Then we got ready and went just up the road to a hotel restaurant. We both ordered the Chicken Pot Pie - and it was the best I've ever eaten! (unless of course you have made one for me and I forgot about it, of course yours is TONS better). It had generous chunks of heaps of veges and chicken and stuff, so nice! Then we had desert really we did it was a chocolate mousse cake with marshmellows it was ssssoooooo sweet but delicious! The bad part of this place was they didn't have buds - at all. Honestly San Fran is SO sydney!
