San Francisco, CA

San Francisco was our first destination when we arrived in the US in early 2009, and it reminded us a little of home.

Ironically, it was warmer and sunnier then, in mid-winter, than it is now. Indeed for a summer's day, I would say that 13ºC and driving rain was something of a disappointment. No matter.

Really, just getting here was a trial thanks to a four-hour delay in Chicago. We didn't get to our hotel until 2am (5am east coast time) and so we decided simply to use most of our time in San Francisco to rest and recover.

Accordingly, we just spent the first half of the day relaxing at the hotel and doing our first load of washing for a few weeks. After lunch we caught the BART in to town (we decided to stay near the airport to make our onward journey less complicated) and had a stroll around. We would have loved to have done more, like taken the tour to Alcatraz, but they sell out weeks in advance and in any case the weather was horrendous.

San Francisco is a neat town, though, but on this journey it's just a pitstop for us on our way to Hawai'i and a means to break up the jet lag.
