Sausolito

So we got into SF yesterday and arrived at our hotel at 2.00pm. We could have gotten into our room, but we opted to wait until 3.30 when we could get a room not facing the street, and therefore a much quieter room. We were really knackered but wandered around Union Square for a bit. Our hotel is right in the heart of Union Square.

At 3.00 we got into the room and both of us just zonked it. Woke up a bit later feeling like crap but I went out again for another walk. Ros stayed back. I don't think I have ever felt so awful after an international flight. It really took it out of me. Dinner was a hotdog for me, and a soft pretzel for Ros, that's how much we cared! I think I was asleep by 8.00. However, at 2.00am I was very much wide awake, and then at 3.00, so was Ros. We took the opportunity to sort out wireless connectivity for the iPad (the concierge had secretly given Ros the password), and Ros rang Optus to sort out her phone issues. I think I fell asleep around 5.00am.

Woke up at 10.00, Ros at 11.00. After getting ready we made our way to Sausolito. Found a great foodie market at the pier then got on the ferry. Spent the afternoon wandering the streets of Sausolito. Just stunning.

On the return trip the ferry docked at Fisherman's wharf. We wandered around there, then shared a sourdough bowl of Clam Chowder. A San Francisco must!

Decided to walk back to the hotel despite feeling like we'd walked enough. Got a bit lost but literally collapsed on the beds on entering the room. We are both physically exhausted.

Oh, Ros nearly made a cyclist come off his bike in Sausolito, she crossed the road looking the wrong way for traffic...

Photos will be posted as soon as I've got a connector for the iPad.
