San Francisco

---

Great, a day when we did not have to get up very early to get on a coach.
The hotel does not do proper breakfast, so started wlking down to the business district.
Found a great diner and had breakfast there.
Walked on exploring the city.
There are more homeless here than 3 years ago and your heart goes out to them.
Finally reached pier 1 by the Pacific ocean and walked towards pier 39.
Found the bakery again, and had fabulous clam chowder whilst looking out over the sea towards Alcatraz and sipping perfectly chilled sparkling wine.
Then a long walk up hill along Lombard (the famous zigzag street used in films). Then back to the hotel. 5.30 and the hotel wine tasting, then off to China town for an evening meal. A walk then a cable car ride (holding onto the outside this time) and back to the hotel.
Had to say good bye to our driver Sanchez tonight. He has been excellent and made the holiday. We will miss him.
