Saturday 08 September
Our body clocks are still quite messed up as England is 8 hours ahead of California in time we keep waking up silly early, we decided to take advantage of this and when we naturally woke we decided to drive up to San Francisco and spend the day there.
Took a nice chilled drive up, the car is averaging 26.7 which i think is pretty good.
We got the San Francisco at a good time and took advantage of this, the first stop on the list was the famous Lombard Street. It was early and kinda empty so went around a few times, i kicked the Mrs out the car and told her to grab some photos (typical tourist)

Taking advantage of the low levels of traffic we then headed to the Golden Gate Bridge, Obviously i was driving so couldn't get any photos going over it.

We then headed up to a look out point onto of one of the surrounding hills of the bridge, i actually took a wrong turn and ended up there which was super cool and worth it. We took in the sites and just took a moment up there and embraced it.

We headed up to Lands End and went for a small hike, didn't get many photos but saw this camper van.

I refused to pay the premium parking that is in San Francisco so we circled the city for a while finding street parking, damn them hills are crazy steep, i have heard they are steep and photos of them really do not do them justice, the car really done well and i was surprised, i honestly thought it was going to let go on some of them hills but shit she done good!!

We headed to Pier 39 to hit up the tourist spots.

Ever wondered how they turn the trams around, nope me either but we saw them doing it anyway.

We went to the Painted Ladies houses, honestly waste of time and i would have been a little pissed if we paid to see them.
Atlas there was an NSX out front so there was something worth seeing.

The end house is up for sale at the moment for $2.2 million.
