Sunrise in Nevada

With the help of crossing another time zone we managed a pre7am breakfast and got a lovely sunrise for our trouble.

Had a stop in Reno. We were told it would be for an hour but we left after 40 minutes. Luckily I hadn’t left the platform. I think what happens is as soon as everyone who is due to join the train has got on they just up sticks and go.

Bit cloudy this morning.

Took photos of our trip menus at our last lunch. Food has been much better than expected but I’m happy not to have any more.

Last photo of G in the observation car as we approached San Francisco. The train has been getting emptier since the Rockies and the observation car has been much quieter.

Finally we were off the train and bussed the last 10 miles over the bay to downtown San Francisco. A very pleasant couple of miles walk to our hotel. So pleasant to get a decent outside temperature after the heat of the rest of the trip. Can’t say I enjoyed dragging the case up some of the local hills. This really is a hilly city.

As a reward we nipped out for an unnecessary but very pleasant Thai meal.Read more
