After all the snow and a night at the Comfort Inn near Heathrow (good value at £39 a night) we left almost on time on the 747-400 to San Francisco. There was snow almost all the way (UK, Greenland, Canada and northern USA) until we hit California. This picture is over the Canadian Rockies 11kms up in the air.
On arrival we checked in to our central hotel and headed for Fisherman's Wharf where we enjoyed crab and shrimp sandwiches and fries in pleasantly warm sunshine. A cable car trip brought us back to central SF where there was a Chinese street parade. Then an early night....
Last night, our last in San Francisco before moving on to Auckland NZ on Monday evening, we met up with Jon and Rachael Griffiths for an Italian meal in the North Beach area. Jon was an old colleague at Philips in Cambridge who moved out to work in the Bay area 12 years ago. He and his wife Rachael both work for Qualcomm now. It was a great evening.
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, on a cold February day. We were on a tour bus going around the city and pulled up underneath.
