The second half of my time in the US was a road trip to San Francisco, to visit my friends daughter. She is studying there and lives the Castro District!! Such a quaint village atmosphere. We were booked into a B&B just up from her flat.
I loved San Francisco, and only wished I could have had more time there. On the day we arrived, after unpacking all our gear, we headed off to see the Golden Gate Bridge. So exciting.
After dinner my friends daughter (the best tourist guide ever) decided we should try to catch one of the trams!! We were standing in the middle of a deserted street at about 9.00pm looking for the next tram when suddenly one came over the hill, and down the steep desent, all the passengers screaming in delight!! before we knew it another came in the direction that we wanted to go and the driver yelled, "there are four standing places on the other side!!" we climbed onto the sides, gripping on to the rails. We hung off the side of the tram for dear life!!, (I wouldn't have wanted it any other way) as we thundered down the hill around a corner and down again.
So exciting, What a way to finish a delightful day!
