Painted Ladies San Francisco

After a ten and a half hour flight we finally arrived in San Francisco at 5pm.

We hopped on the 'Bart' transport system into the centre of San Fran and then had trouble finding our hotel (if you can call it that!). After being directed by a friendly American we finally found it by China Town. Not the most pleasant hotel but had four walls …

It is the last day of my Trek America tour. It has been a good week, seeing so much in so little time. I just wish I could spend an extra day in each place but I know this is more of a taster trip of each place but it has totally been worth the money. Anyway San Francisco is only 4 hours away from Yosemite so we were there in time for lunch, it …

Today we spent a lot of time hopping on and off buses to visit many of the cities sights. Stopped in town and briefly went to Macy's, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany's, Victorias Secret stores and wanted to buy lots. Saw the "painted ladies" (7 houses you see at the start of the TV series full house) which were fabulous and went thru the Golden Gate gardens …

The phone rang at 7am from the automatic wakeup call that I accidently set last night. I got up and had the longest shower of my life. By the time I got out, it was about time to wake up and Tim and Ainsley so that they could get ready. We met Nanny, Poppy and Aunty Judy down at the buffet breakfast. It was actually really gross so we didn't eat …

I got up at 6.30am with the aim to leave the hotel by 7.30 in order to leave plenty of time to get to the station and sort myself out for my Amtrak journey from LA to San Francisco. Of course, then I was ready by 7, but left anyway, with the result that I was at the station waaaay too early. The Hacienda provided a free shuttle to the airport, from …

Well, Well, Well. Welcome again to our blog coming to you from sunny San Francisco. Just chilling in our hotel all day today watching Wimbledon with the volume down as Sharapova is playing and we don't want our neighbours thinking something kinky is going on. Eagerly waiting to fly out to Vivvvaaa Las Vegas tomorrow morning. We had a great time in …

When we arrived at the airport we had to wait for our pre-booked shuttle for 45 mins and to our surpirse we had the most crazy, mannerless, and a rude maniac driver. Finally got to our hotel after an hour and a half and we decided to take a walk to the Town Hall and then to Powell street where we took the cable car. San Francisco's weather reminded …

We sure slept well last night!! In bed at 7.30pm and awake when the alarm went off at 6.50am!! School in the USA just started back in their new school year last week, football is starting and baseball has finished!

This morning we were collected by a Greyline coach at 8.45am and had a deluxe city tour in a double decker. We saw the iconic …

We got up in good time and once again took the F-line down to Fisherman's Wharf. There we were able to get our tickets for our double-decker bus tour. There was some confusion because the information about where to get the tickets in our "Go Card" book is not accurate, but it all worked out in the end. At 10 we boarded our bus. As I said it is …

So our last day of real vacation started with the hop on hop off tour stopping at the 'painted ladies'. The street 'Full House' was supposed to be filmed on. Then we got off again at the next stop; Haight Ashbury. We walked around checking out the hippy ...
