Tuesday, 27th October:
Well, yesterday we managed to stay awake after our flight until about 8.45pm - and then almost fell asleep in our pizza.
San Francisco had welcomed us with a bright afternoon and balmy weather when we staggered off the plane, and the following day dawned clear and sunny - but a lot colder, said our hosts. It felt like the tropics to us, but we sympathised....it's nice to know that the British aren't the only race to have the weather as a key topic of conversation.
Thanks to Neil and Angela for the perfect start to our trip (well, after the weather!) - breakfast at the Top of the Mark. The hotel is the Mark Hopkins and breakfast on the 19th floor on Nob Hill (and the higher you are in SF, the better the neighbourhood, apparently) was truly a treat. Shown to our table by a maitre d' who frankly could have doubled for Sydney Poiter, the view is fabulous - even the Golden Gate Bridge was visible!
