San Francisco: Day One Hundred and Thirty-Nine (6 March)


More girly stuff again today – all the ladies had manicures!

Then we headed into the city, to the more central part this time. San Francisco is famous for its Chinatown and also has an Italian area known as North Beach. We walked through both these into the main business district, including looking into the beautiful St Francis Hotel. We also saw where the cable cars between here and the shore turn around.

My heart sank a little when we went into another shopping centre but it was only to take the curvy escalator to the café at the top (Nordstroms Bistro), which has wonderful views of where we’d just walked. The winding escalator was a bit unnerving so we took the lift back down.
