Steep hills everywhere:
The frustrating thing about rest days, is that although your last clump of cycling days have been spent wistfully wishing for a lie in, when it comes to it you can't. Tim, however, seemed to manage it just fine as I enjoyed an hour of my book.
Thursday was spent wandering around downtown San Francisco. In an attempt to be lazy we enjoyed an open top tour bus after sitting relaxing in the sun in Union Square. This was an interesting affair due to the number of homeless guys that you get approached by but equally there was an opera singer and a human beat box.
On our way home we walked (accidentally) through the tenderloin to be met by details of a ladies bottom that I had no desire to see. We took the next right hand turn and up into Japantown.
We had tasty Tapas in Solstice on California and enjoyed the delights of a world edition of the Guardian!
On Friday we went for a stroll up to Coit Tower and then the winding Lombard Street, before crossing over to Alcatraz! We had intended on visiting the cinema this evening but as we saw the queues of ladies dressed to the nines for the 'Sex and City' premiere I felt a little put off as I was dressed in the same outfit I have been wearing for the past two months - maybe we will do this tomorrow evening!

Excellent progress on your trip and beard ( Tim! ). The SUV looked interesting all the same, sometimes to get in behind the wheel of others excesses helps one to further understand the problem.....brum brum.... I'm up to my uxters in planning for Oz which will be on Monday, 9th June. My blog is "crossingzebras-suz.blogspot.com
Wow its all so different from organizing a usual holiday of a week or so. I am taking a little creative tech stuff, but nothing compared to your spokes...
