Day 7 – Last day in San Francisco
Sunday 19th July

I can’t remember what time we got up this morning but I do know we went back to Hollywood Cafe for breakfast! Mmmm, mmm, mmm. I had waffles this time with another huge pile of fresh fruit. We also sat outside as it was another lovely day.

After breakfast we wondered down to the Powell and Hyde cable car in preparation to hit the Union Square shops. This time the shops wouldn’t know what had hit them, as Rach was back to full health!
The queue was long again, but that was ok as it was lovely and sunny so we could chat and admire the view No pictures here though, as the Golden Gate bridge was shrouded in fog again.

Half way round I realised that neither of us had remembered to put sun cream on that morning and we were probably getting fried! So clever old me thought it would be a bright idea to run back to Walgreens and pick up some suncream, and why not pick up a MacDonalds for lunch on the way?!

Except that Walgreens and Mcds were much further down Fisherman’s Wharf than I realised and Rach phoned me while I was getting the food, shouting, “Quick!, come back – we are on the next cable car”

Uh oh!

Suffice to say running back down a crazily busy Fisherman’s Wharf with 2 meals, 2 drinks, those silly pots of ketchup you have to pump yourself and a bottle of sun cream was probably not a good look for me!

I get back to the cable car line queue, volt over the barrier (still carrying the above mentioned items!) and SCORE! We are first in line for the next cable car! We tuck in to our lunch until,

“I got some bad news for you eaters and drinkers...” the cable car operator informed us. We weren’t allowed food or drink on the cable car

So we had to throw the drinks away and hold the food It was cold when we got to Union Square.

We did the shops around Union Square justice for a few hours. Old Navy and Bloomingdales got the best of our credit cards, I think! Then we queued again for the cable car back:



We took lots of pictures this time as we knew it would be our last cable car ride of this visit:





Back at Fisherman’s Wharf, we decided to have our last supper on the Wharf at an Italian (Can’t remember the name, sorry!) Which was just ok, but there was a lovely view of the sun setting over the bay while we were eating:



After that, it was back to pack as we were flying to Hawaii tomorrow.

Tomorrow: San Francisco to Honolulu.

Great shopping day and lol about your running with your arms full, then having to throw your drinks away! I am going to add Hollywood Cafe to my list of food places, that pic that you posted in an earlier day did look delicious!

[Jools]

Another good day. I also chuckled at the thought of you running along Fisherman's Wharf with all the food. It's hard enough just walking with the crowds there. I have enjoyed your stay in San Francisco

We went to Honolulu as part of ou Honeymoon... looking forward to reading more.
