ChinaTown
We started off today by having the free brekkie at the hostel. Bagels, croissants & toast. Ofcourse, Rob couldn’t help but bring down his little tube of vegemite. The europeans must have been intrigued by the smell.
We then headed up through ChinaTown. It is very long and goes on for about 8 blocks. Mostly made up of restaurants, souvenir-type shops and jewellary shops. There were also lots of older women mumbling “dim sum yum yum” to everyone that walks by – trying to get people to go into their restaurants. And one of the ladies said “100% off for you” – we were a bit bewildered by that.
After that we headed to the Embarcadero area – which is next to the Financial District (CBD-area). The Embarcadero is just next to the Bay Bridge (connects Oakland and San Fran) and is where most of the office workers seem to head for their lunch. The Bay Bridge seems to be huge and I am not sure why the Golden Gate bridge gets all the fame and glory- maybe I will find out tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will be heading up to Fisherman’s Wharf again and we will hopefully do a bike ride along the Golden Gate bridge (tandem ofcourse!).
