“It’s out of order but that is the way the world is!”

July 14, 2013 by Karen

It was very busy in San Francisco as it was 'Pride' weekend and accommodation was hard to come by. We had a few moments of “we have been had” when we turned up at the address given to us by Our next Airbnb host.

The address pointed to one of these two houses, one of which was condemned and the other obviously no long there.

 

The neighbours were very helpful and many tried to help us find the number we were looking for.

“It's out of order but that is the way the world is!”

This comment was made by an old man living across the street when Nick knocked on his door and asked for help. We eventually found where we were meant to be staying. Seems she had recorded the wrong address and forgot to tell us!

The house was lovely and complete with a friendly dog….

And Neko, the 16 year old cat to keep us company!

The view from our back door.

We walked down lover's lane towards the Golden Gate Bridge.

We walked through Crissy Field and stopped to have lunch there, enjoying the view back over the city.

This is as much of the Golden Gate bridge as we saw due to the fog rolling in.

In the evening we took a walk through Castro.

We ended up in 'The Misson District' where we met Suzanne (a friend from our retreat on Gili Air) for dinner.
Mission is full of buildings and alley ways with murals and we enjoyed the tour Suzanne gave us.
Our fourth day was spent catching up with the lovely Nick Bursey, a friend of Nick's from ANZ. On Nick's recommendation we headed for Lomabard street in the afternoon.
This portion of Lombard Street is a section that has been dubbed “the crookedest street in the San Fransisco.”
Selfy in a truck's bumper bar!
Trams down near Fisherman's wharf.
Our walk took us along Colombus Avenue.
Not sure how good the food would be in this joint!
We wandered through China town on the way home.
A big thank you to Suzanne and Nick for helping to make our third and fourth days in San Fransisco memorable ones.

    I loved San Francisco! Glad you had a great time there. I never made it to Mission district though, so I’ll have to go back. Plus we had the best Asian food (outside of Asia) in Chinatown and that’s reason enough to go back again! R xxx
