Up at 8am this morning – time to leave our comfy hotel and double bed (insert sad face here). The trip to the airport (via the car rental drop off) was uneventful and soon we were on our flight.
We arrived in San Francisco around 2pm and then embarked on a rather long and tedious two and a half hour public transport journey to our hostel in Fort Mason (yep, definitely no luxurious car driving any more).
This hostel is a bit run down with some dodgy facilities… and we are in a 24 bed dorm! It is in a truly beautiful location though, with close views of both the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. In fact, this city in general seems an absolutely lovely place to be, I look forward to relaxing here over the next three nights.
We were lucky enough to arrive just in time for a mini food cart festival down near the docks – which meant a random Japanese ‘KoJa’ burger for dinner followed by Crème Brule and cupcakes! The relaxed atmosphere and lovely weather here made me want to stay here longer – but we had a segway tour to catch!
My first tour of San Francisco… on a segway! This was fun! Two and a half hours driving around the streets, through Little Italy, China Town and Fisherman’s wharf, driving past many restaurants that I would love to eat at! I was rather nervous of the segway driving thing but it was super easy and Andy had much fun zipping ahead everywhere.
Back to the hostel by 11pm – we plan to take these next couple of days pretty easy before things get crazy again. And this city seems the perfect place to do just that!
