Well, it’s the last day and we’re all packed and waiting for the airport shuttle. Really don’t want to leave the sunshine and warm weather.<\/p>\n
Got up this morning and did the last bit of packing. Then sorted the room and left the bags for a last wander into San Francisco. It was foggy and chilly but a nice walk. We strolled along the waterfront again looking out where the bridge and Alcatraz should have been, but we couldn’t see them. That was ok as we got to finally see the real fog over the bay. We stopped at In n Out Burger for, well, for a burger. That’s all they do. Which was fine. The on to Pier 39 for a last stroll and look at the sea lions. As we walked the fog was lifting and the sun came out. By the time we started heading back to the hotel the sun was out and it was warming up. A last stop at Girarbelli for a coffee (well a mocha and chocolate shake) and then back to the hotel.<\/p>\n
Now just waiting for the shuttle. Ho hum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
