Crooked Street, Subs and Trams
After yet another big breakfast Diner meal (no more for the rest of our time in San Fran I promise) we headed up to Lombard Street. It is known as the “crookedest street in the world” because they had to zig-zag the road because the road was too steep for cars to travel safely down it.
It also has some great views of the city and the bay from up there:
After that we headed down to Fisherman’s Wharf again where we went on the submarine tour. It was similar to the one we have in Fremantle, but this sub was much bigger and we could go at our own pace through the sub (no guide) and no nauseating diesel smell.
There is also a warship (S.S. Jeremiah) which was closed by the time we finished the submarine tour, but we plan to go on that tomorrow.
We also stopped into Barnes and Noble (similar to Borders) and had a browse round there. And we found a shop called “Steve and Barrys” which sells clothes – nothing over $8.98 (including jeans). Rob got a Cobra shirt – something to do with G.I. Joe I am told.
After that we went to Hooters – but I will let Rob do his own post about that experience…. and yes there are photos.
Finally, we took the cable car home. It was great fun and sure beats trudging up the hills.
