Eeek, a 5am alarm clock, Uber to Fort Lauderdale airport, 5 ½ flight to San Franciso. We arrived at 11:30, with a 3 hour time difference, we are now 9 hours behind South African time.
The first thing that hit us as we walked out the doors of San Francisco airport was a cold wind.
Miami and Cuba temperatures were in the high 30’s and humid. Gray informed us there was a heat wave, what he didn’t let us know was that he was talking about the east coast, not the West, which is a chilly 16 degrees. Jean had to hit Macy’s for winter clothes.
We booked into our hotel and picked up a Hop on – Hop off Bus. The round San Fran trip took around 3 hours. Highlights so far, the beautiful Victorian architecture and Golden Gate Bridge, with views of the city skyline and Alcatraz. We were seriously cold on the top of the open bus with the wind whipping off the sea. The lows were the depressing number of homeless people on the streets.
We had dinner in a beautiful old family run Italian restaurant.
