Sunday wanderings

What a perfect way to start our trip, 4 amazing days exploring San Francisco. Today is our last full day in San Fran, we head off early in the morning getting a bus to Emeryville to catch the California Zephyr train heading to Chicago over 3 days. We will head back to San Fran for 4 days before we fly home.

Today was always going to be a relaxing day, getting things organised to go on the train. We had a sleep in, had some breakfast before heading out the door to search the souvenir shops for a request from Tommy.

On Friday, Nanny video chatted Tommy when we saw a San Francisco Fire Boat and ever since then he has been asking me to buy him one. Well we have searched every store and we have not been successful in finding one.

We then headed to Boudin Bakery for lunch. Dave had a sourdough pizza and a bakery isn’t the best for a gluten intolerant person to eat so I had a salad.

From here we headed over to the sea lions and enjoyed a delicious gelato. Before we knew it, it was 1.30pm and we still needed to do some washing and go to the supermarket to buy snacks for the train trip. We headed back to our room, got some shopping bags and headed off to the supermarket. When we stayed near here in 2023, the supermarket was just down the street. That one has now closed and a big new one opened about half an hour walk away. Always a good excuse to take in the amazing sights of San Francisco.

Back from shopping, we did our washing. Where we are staying they have complimentary laundry complete with laundry powder and dryer sheets which is very uncommon when you travel. While the washing was on, we came and pack our bags. We can only take a small bag each into our bedroom on the train and our big bags are checked in and we can’t access them for 3 days so we had to make sure we had everything we needed especially medication.

With the washing and packing done, it was time to head out for dinner. We headed towards the wharf and decided on Applebees. Dave had pasta and I steak and it was amazing. And even better, it had an awesome view.

For a relaxing day, we still walked 13.2kms!

Early start in the morning for an amazing train trip.もっと詳しく
