Day started with a very scenic drive through sonoma and napa valleys, many, many grapes!
Then we arrived on the jelly belly factory where we went on the free tour which lasted an hour, it was awesome!
We spent ages in the shop then went to the cafe for lunch, k had a burger shaped like a jelly bean and I had a pizza shaped like a jelly bean (or a kidney)! We also encountered a little girl called genesis?!?! Crazy!
We got back on the (very hot) road and headed for san Francisco, the first view of the city and the bridge was amazing.
We drove over the bridge, which was amazing, then drove through the city. We drove down the world's crookedest street, Lombard St, then headed for chronicles books in south beach. We bought some top notch books, then headed to drop off the car.
The car drop off went smoothly and was only 2 blocks to the hotel so we got checked in pretty quickly. The room is giant and has an awesome walk-in closet (thanks mum).
We then decided to play tourist so we got the cable car to the tourist area of fisherman's wharf where we had dinner. We went to THE cafe of a famous sourdough bakery, I had chilli in a sourdough bowl with a side salad and k had a salad and a lot of bread and butter.
We were getting the streetcar back round to union square to meet iain but the one in front broke down so we ended up getting a taxi.
We found Iain then couldn't decide where to go so just went the long, up hill, walk to the tonga room in the fairmont hotel, it is a tiki bar with a band in the middle of a pool and indoor thunder, lightening and rain once an hour! And expensive cocktails! We spent $150 on 3 drinks each plus tip! We did get to see a guy hauled out by the police though so it was worth it.
Now we're back at the hotel, chilling. Last full day tomorrow.
