Today we first headed out to Haight street to checkout the murals (graffiti street art), there was a very cool one with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
Then we walked into beautiful San Francisco park, there was a nice memorial section at the start, the day before we had heard there is a section of the park with bison in it so we taxied it to the bison section, only to find two sad lonely bison …

Next up we headed to the Golden Gate Welcome Centre, for some happy snaps before we headed up to walk on the Golden Gate Bridge, an amazing structure with magnificent views of San Francisco Bay. We headed back down towards the visitor centre pausing along the way to take in some of the many informational displays about the bridge history and construction.
The ladies at the information desk in the GG welcome centre told us about George Lucas’s offices just a short free shuttle ride away, so on we hopped and a few minutes later we were out the front of the Lucas Films offices in Presidio. There’s a Yoda fountain out the front and you’re allowed to walk into the reception area to take photos with the Star Wars statues … so of course Steve made the most of it.
Then with our tummies rumbling we headed to Sessions at the Presidio, a really nice micro brewery, with some good food, we had a great late lunch and a couple of excellent beers.
With our bellies full we headed out to Lombard street, (the funky one with the downhill zig zag), sadly our tourist map was not to scale and we soon found our legs alone would not be sufficient so we hailed a taxi who was kind enough to wait while Faiza took some photos, then we headed back to our hotel to sort ourselves for the next phase of our adventure.
