We awakened this morning on Eastern Time at 7 AM. Unfortunately, that was 4 AM Pacific time. By 6 AM we gave up on sleep and started morning coffee then showers etc. We were first at the 7 AM breakfast buffet arranged for Cunard passengers then first at the Big Bus for our quick tour of San Francisco,
It provided a good quick look at San Francisco. It has been more than 5 decades since either of us visited this city and the tour was quite enjoyable. Being a Hop-on Hop-off operation we thought initially that we might do it twice but changed our minds. The day was bright and sunny but quite cool especially for the trip across the Golden Gate Bridge and back.
This was the most spectacular picture of the bridge but it was taken from Fishermans Wharf at sunset. Elements of the city remind us of Quebec City and Vancouver at the same time. As we finished the tour we passed Pier 27 where our ship for tomorrow, the Queen Elizabeth, was berthed.
We continued to explore the Embarcadero and Fishermans Wharf then retreated to the hotel for a break before dinner.
For dinner we returned to the wharf area and Alioto’, a restaurant recommended to us. It lived up to its recommendation. We enjoyed a great meal and fantastic view.
Tomorrow, we will send off our dental claim to our insurer so we shall see how they respond. There may not be a post or a very brief one before we board the ship. Perhaps something will pop up on Facebook.
Oh yes, there are photos on the photo album website. You can find a few previews on the website sidebar. Click on the email message to visit the website then Australia 2018 below the sidebar photo previews.
