So we arrived yesterday about 9pm our time and 2pm local time, and after being told to “go pick a car, any car” we stumbled our way to the hotel. I was very tired but we tried to stay awake and experience some of the sights before going to bed so that we could combat the jet lag and make the most of our holiday!! We went for a wee cruise in our very cool convertible cruiser. Si drove off without a plan and just over an hour later (!) we found ourselves accidentally in the Fisherman’s wharf area. A very cool area – we caught a glimpse of the Golden Gate bridge (see the picture, it’s there somewhere…) and Alcatraz on the way and were greeted by a piper after we had parked!! They really pull out the stops for you here!
We woke up very early this morning and made ourselves waffles for breakfast at 7am – Si managed to resist the burgers and didn’t join the woman (American!?) who had her burgers on top of her waffle! We’re off to explore the sights today – what to wear? We have already seen the San Fran fog (leave off the cisco if you want to annoy the locals… 🙂 ) and oh my the wind!!!
Hey guys,
Glad you got there ok – you’re already making me envious with the tales of the american breakfasts! Disappointed you didn’t go for the burgers though Si!
I can almost picture where you are from having played a few racing games that are set in San Fran – geeky eh? The Fishermans Wharf area in particular was always fun to race around – but better in real life I expect!
Anyway, enjoy your time there – watch out for clouds of smug 🙂
Chris.
Hey there you guys! Looks like the fun has begun! You enjoying the freedom?! keep on posting the pics.
Caroline – already missing all my girls from the hen do – I really am – it was the best… Wish you two were coming to the wedding…but i am sure you will be having a way better time! also if you were coming you would actually add to the nightmare that is our seating plan – am tackling it now – its sooooooooo much harder than I expected!
lots and lots of love to you both! D xxx
