The first full day of being a tourist! Spent most the day walking around the city (feet did not appreciate that!) Following the wise advice of guide books we got the cable car in town, avoiding the queues at the wharf. The ride was fun and quite smooth, even though the driver warned us to hang on everytime we set off, and there was only one of those classic San Franciscan hills as you’d expect from the movies.
The bus driver on the way home was a cheerful chap, and to prove the world is small, his dad lives in Glasgow, and he knows the captain of the ship taking us to our Fijian island. He also told us that we’d need to drink a bucket of Cava to get any effect, will have to remember that one! (Cava’s a mild narcotic Fijian drink)
Haight Street for dinner, where the hippy movement started off, although unless hippies have taken to talking to themselves and rummaging through bins, they were nowhere to be seen 🙂
