Highlights of San Francisco
San Francisco is a great city, so I've compiled a list of my favourite things from the past week:
The Omni Hotel-great service, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, good room service and a lovely room. The location is central and apart from the rattle and hum of the California St tram, it's whisper quiet. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Boulevard restaurant -we stumbled on this restaurant by accident and it was superb!
Alcatraz - Interesting, creepy, historical and a must see!
The golden Gate Bridge - An icon.
Pacific Heights - What an extraordinary neighbourhood. The architecture is stunning - I could have walked those streets for days just looking at the houses.
San Fran drivers - Really considerate and they don't seem to be in too much of a hurry.
Weather and climate - Stunning sunny days but cool/cold breeze - wear layers and you can be comfortable all day.
All of the schools I visited.
Books Inc, Copperfield's at Petaluma and Book Passage Corte Madeira. All great shops and fantastic staff.
Not so favourite things
Coffee - Hard to find a good cup anywhere.
Fisherman's Wharf - Really touristy - but kids would love it.
Really there wasn't much I didn't love about San Francisco. It's a beautiful city.
