California: San Francisco

After the craziness of the drive to San Francisco it was nice not to have to drive for a while. Here are a few shots in no particular order of our time there.

It's like the Sheffield of America with all them hills (ahem).

It does have some quite famous sights...

.... and some not so famous, but still cool.

The iconic transamerica pyramid

and Lombard St
That is actually the other end of Lombard St here is the wavy bit, with the mustang that we wanted..... well for the next bit of the holiday.

I love taking pictures of tourists...

.... and people posing for photos.

This is the Colt Tower, it gives some fantastic view of San Fran and the bay area. It's worth the climb even for unfit people such ans Loz and I.

Chinatown is always good.

One of the true fishermen of Fisherman's Warf.

The bay bridge which doesn't get as much press as the golden gate.


We had a good time in San Fran. Like I said it was nice not to drive for a full day. Apart from just wandering around the highlights of San Francisco not already photographed include:

The drive in, beautiful green California which was so contrasting to the previous days of desert.

Possibly the best burrito I have ever eaten @Taqueria Can Cun - 19 th and Mission St

Going to a 'dueling piano' bar. Where two piano players play songs for money, they can interupt and try and get each side of the room to compete against each other. It was a very different experience of a bar than in England.

Also a few more that get there own posts.
