San Francisco - Day 6

As I was saying, we’d had a manic day - so we were really looking forward to a good night’s sleep. Which is why we couldn’t decide whether to laugh or to cry when we were kept up half the night by our, er, amorous neighbours. Oh God, were they vocal! I will say no more.

It was our last day in San Francisco, so we wandered down to Union Square, and Macy’s Cheesecake Factory! After a huge first course, I couldn’t quite manage a cheesecake, but Graeme managed to down a Tiramisu in 10 seconds flat. I was a bit disturbed to hear later one of the waitresses saying that they’d had problems de-frosting the cheesecakes, but last time I checked G was still alive!

We rolled out of Macy’s and onto the F-line, heading towards the Civic Centre. We saw the Town Hall (impressive), The Great Seal of the State of California (tacky) and United Nations Plaza, where the original UN Charter was signed (inspiring). After perving for a bit too long at a policeman (see the pics), we took the F-line and then our last cable car back to the hotel.

Then it was back onto BART, heading south to the airport. As ever, we arrived at the terminal hours early, but this gave us a bit extra time to browse the ‘duty free’ goods and to drink our last glasses of Californian wine. I think the past five days were beginning to catch up with me because all I wanted to do was get on the plane and get home - of course, there was a 10-hour flight and a 90-minute Tube journey to deal with first! Oh yes, and three hours of Corporate Financial Management at university …

It’s good to be home now. But I already want to go back there …
