Fake Tales of San Fransisco


I love San Fransisco! What a beautiful city. Arrived on 11th June for a whirlwind SF experience. So why is SF so great you ask? Here are my top 10 reasons why:


          1. Walking the 400 steps to up Telgraph Hill (this gave Jacobs Ladder a run for its money)

          2. Grabbing a coffee at the great range of independent coffee shops (no more Starbucks please..)

          3. The great restaurant scene (thanks Jonathan - the asian fusion was awesome).

          4. Cycling the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito (FYI - the bridge has phones with crisis counselling numbers for jumpers!)

          5. Catching the ferry from Sausalito back to SF (when you see the hill I rode down to get to Sausalito - you will understand why riding back up is not an option)

          6. Viewing the city at night from Twin Peaks

          7. Catching the old fashion trams (very touristy I know - but not to be missed) - including the 1950's style trams down Market St.

          8. Checking out the Seven Painted Ladies and the most photographed view of the city (despite cursing the 1 hour walk up hill to get there).

          9. MoMA (SF Museum of Modern Art) in SoMo - despite the fact that the Chigal I wanted to see was out on ´tour´.

          10. Enjoying the hills, architecture and people of SF.
