Colourful and quirky San Francisco


I'm starting my look back on a great two weeks travelling in the USA with the city where the adventure started - San Francisco.

This is such a colourful and quirky place but one which has an interesting history. San Francisco is also a city which is greatly influenced by its location between the Pacific Ocean and much warmer climbs to the east. The bay is thriving with wildlife and the most famous inhabitants are the seals at Pier 39 who have made this place home and no-one would dare mess with them! Whilst the seals put on an amusing show one of the most popular displays for tourists is the gradual unveiling of the bay every day from the blanket of fog which, even once it has receded, is never too far away.

There's so much to see and do in San Francisco and during my time there I just about saw the tip of the iceberg. Whether it was whizzing up and down hills on a tram or enjoying a bowl of clam chowder on the breezy Embarcadero it was a great experience all the way through and you can now see some pictures of what I got up to by clicking here.

Awesome American Adventure!

 

I've just about recovered from the jetlag associated with an incredible two weeks of travelling in the USA. Me, my sister and a friend covered nearly 20,000 miles in just 14 days using nearly every type of transport imaginable - from trams in San Francisco to the opulence of a cruise ship in the Caribbean we covered some insane distances!

In the next few days I will start uploading my pictures on to my blog but have a look at my Instagram page now to see my favourites already posted and being enjoyed by my followers...
