Today was all about "Cisco" my companion for the day! When I got back from the tour yesterday I got an email offering me an electric bike for the day today for $35 cheaper than a Normal bike !
Well I took a little look at the hills and the route I was going to take and strangely enough I said yes please! You could mix it up with your own pedalling which I did except for the final 30 mins when I was knackered!
However Cisco came into his own on the steep hills. We had a lovely day together no accidents, punctures nor was it stolen phew! We went to the golden gate park where I sat and watched some baseball having arrived via the little cafe I found yesterday so I was by this stage armed with a breakfast burrito and smoothie.
We went and saw the painted ladies a row of houses all beautifully painted. We then went and found the beach it was lovely and sandy but very windy. Then taking advantage of the electric throttle Cisco and I took the coastal path around the bay and got up some steep climbs.
It was weird over taking the boys in Lycra but amusing too !! I think some swore at me :-) once back on flat land I hit the waffle shop and then took a leisurely ride along the beach front and
watched some kite surfers and windsurfers.
Having dropped the bike off I walked back towards the town picked up some dinner and quickly retired to my room. I avoided sun burn with my factor 50 but The back of my neck is sore :-(
It is time to pack tonight I have a 7am pick up for my flight to Oahu I think the beach is calling tomorrow I have had a busy two days in San Francisco! I do like it here still although a few too many English accents for my liking but the food is healthy the people are nice and I have only seen one macdonalds no burger kings or Wendy's or Taco Bell!
Oh there are a lot of dogs here too I met a labra doodle today and told him all about my teddy !
So off too bed soon night all xx
