We'd originally planned to stop in California and San Francisco for a couple of days but a cheap deal on flight and hotel prices in Las Vegas meant that we left less than 24 hours after getting to EssEff - but still talking like a local.
San Francisco itself is a really pretty city, small and managable by foot and cable car, unlike some other places we've been to that need a car to get anywhere. The San Frncisco Bay Area though is enormous and made up of lots of smaller cities and urban areas.
The people watching here (Carole and I are both devotees of people watching) was some of the finest we've seen, such a variety of people but they all seemed to get along and it felt like a safe city, we had no problems walking around later at night.
Its a very photogenic place with every corner revealing some view that we think we've seen before in a film and probably have.
In the short time we had we managed to have breakfast in an all American diner, (with Bob and Jan's tenner)
walk across the city,
Get a boat ride around the bay
And Alcatraz,
Eat the famous local Dungerness(yes, I know that's in England) crab, Bob and Jan's tenner still there.
and ride a cable car up the switch back hills back to the hotel to catch a shuttle bus to the airport.
The crab put up a fight but was no match for Carole.
