Awake at 4.30 this morning. David got up and went to the lounge again so as not to disturb me. I was wide awake and sat up in bed e-mailing on my iPhone. I e-mailed David to say he could come back up to the room and we had to hang on until 6.30 for breakfast. I had a healthier option this morning of fruit, yogurt, granola and wheat bread toast. Tried to sleep a bit, but woke up dazed and confused. I decent cup tea might have helped, but I’ll have to wait a while for that. Possibly for over a month.
We had a quick look in Borders on Union Square and met the Kaysers outside a bagel shop on Market Street. We wandered down to the ferry building for tea. Chloe bonded with a number of hounds including one called Chloe! It was still chilly and foggy at 11am and we wondered whether it would be worth going to Sausalito across the bay as we might not have decent views. After Amy & George checked out, we got in the Gurg Mobile and went up Nob Hill, past the marina and over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. I will never cease to be impressed by the views of this part of the world. I am usually the one driving over the bridge, but this time I could take the vista in properly.
Sausalito was packed, but as charming as ever. I think Amy was disappointed that we didn’t go to a restaurant called the Spinnaker – we just used their car park. Sausalito has a real European feel and has quite a few little Italian casual restaurants. We stopped at one and had pizza and Panini while sitting outside admiring the views across the bay to San Francisco.
Amy and George dropped us off at our hotel and we said goodbye as they were driving back to San Luis. It was really good to see them and I hope we’ll meet up again soon. I wonder where – California? Hawaii? Tokyo?
