When you are in San Francisco be sure to wear your flowers in your hair.......

Lol! Haven't seen any hippies at all - yet! Pete and I love San Fran - great atmosphere and great people watching. Always interesting hustle and bustle under the watchful eye of the ever present Golden Gate Bridge. Great city to walk in - the hills are great exercise!, though if you tire there is always the ever faithful cable car gliding around these interesting streets!

We arrived late yesterday afternoon. Drove down from Napa Valley (about an hour away) after we finished our fabulous day in the wineries. Was good driving in on a Sunday as there wasn't much traffic.
After we settled ourselves in Lombard Street we headed to Pete's favourite pot of call - Fisherman's Wharf!
He' d been thinking about it the whole drive down!  CLAM CHOWDER was his agenda! And how yummy was it!!!
After we demolished the Clam Chowder we wandered around the Pier area which was abuzz with people enjoying the delights of this happening area of San Fran. Pier 39 is always good fun with its colourful variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment.
Our first glimpse of the Golden Gate  - San Fran here we come!
and the Clam Chowder says Pete! 
Famous Fisherman's Wharf
Clam Chowder stalls prove very popular!
If you like seafood it is heaven here!
The crabs were huge! 
Pete savouring his Clam Chowder!
The best way to have it is in the bread bowl.
There are great seafood restaurants all along the Pier area.
Fisherman's Grotto is an icon here! 
The fun Pier 39.
Usually the seals are out in force beside this pier  but there were none to be seen today :( 
The colourful Pier 39 
It was very entertaining watching these mouthwatering crepes being created.
A popular stop for many on Pier 39 - not just to watch their creation BUT to savour them! Yum!
