San Francisco - day 1-2

Saturday.....Well after a good sleep, shower and a bit of unpacking we hit the streets of San Francisco.
Our hotel is close to Union Square so that's where we headed.....found the open top bus right there so off we went. We've paid for a five day pass which is quite handy as it gives us 5 different routes to play with.
First day we did the downtown loop which took us past Fishermen's Wharf and Pier 39. We didn't get off but just took in the views. Nice to be a bit warmer!
We had dinner in the restaurant attached to the hotel....not impressed with the service or the attitude of the staff so we left a SMALL tip. This tip business is wearing a bit thin!
Anyway, we both slept well, waking up this morning around 9.30am!!
Sunday.... more open top bus...this time over the Golden Gate bridge. We got off near Fishermen's Wharf and had fish and chips for lunch.....horrors!! what possesses them to cook chips with masses of garlic?...ugh!
This evening, we ventured into Chinatown and had the most delicious food and bottle of Californian wine. I loved Chinatown...so much to look at, loads of tacky souvenir shops, much fun!
Tomorrow we are booked to do a 13 hour tour to Yosemite Park....hope we see lots of lovely scenery.
