Tom & Jas in San Francisco!

Tom was in states for 3weeks (Business trip!) and coincidentally, moi was rostered to operate a San Francisco flight around the same time as well.

He had to extend his trip for two extra days whilst waiting for moi to arrive in San Francisco. Super hilarious cos he booked like this cheapo hotel (two stars or something) and the room itself was like 5m X 5m with NO AIRCON! At least he had a 14" wall mounted TV *sniggle sniggle*

He took some pictures of his hotel room. Moi didn't have the chance to look at it yet but from the way he was describing it, i just have to say well, you get what you pay for. At least the location was fantastic. It's smacked right in the middle of the city and just opp. from the 5***** Hotel where i'm putting up.

Our first fastfood meal in San Francisco! Carl's junior

I love the Carl's junior here cos it's so different from the one in Singapore. They have a much wider selection including my favourite burger, "The six dollar burger" made from angus beef. SUPERB!!!

Just writing about it makes me droolz..

Tom had the angus beef burger as well just that his had jalapeno toppings. SPICY!!

After making our stomach happy, we proceed down to Fisherman's wharf. How to get there?
By the the touristy style of cause!! Taking the famous Powell & Market cable car
The ticket cost US$5 per way. You can either get the ticket from the ticketing booth located just beside the main cable car station or purchase it onboard.

All onboard!!

The journey took like 20mins. Just relax and enjoy the sights and sounds whilst onboard the cable car :)

The weather look sunny but it's super super chilly & windy!! Probably around 19-21degrees. Moi was like squinting my eyes in almost all the pictures, all thanks to the glaring sun! And it didnt help that i forgotten to bring my bug eye sunnies!! ARGHHHHHHHH

Salthy's Famous fishwich.

If only we owned one of these yachts.
We can only dream
Photobucket

A nice old lady offered to help us take a picture!!

We were suppose to take a picture with the sea lions behind. Blame Tom!

We wanted to get the Alcatraz tour. Unfortunately, the tour was sold out! In the end, we decided on the Bay cruise adventure that brings us to the Golden gate bridge and ard Alcatraz island

Finally, how can you go to Fisherman Wharf and not try the clam chowder!!!
Photobucket

We decided to walk back to our hotel. I had walked before so when Tom asked moi how long it takes to walk back, moi happily replied that it's just a 20mins walk.

HAHAHAHAHA

It took us a freaking one hour and 20mins to walk back!!!
AND in the freezing cold, mind you.
We probably burned like a few thousands calories each!

Photobucket

It doesnt help that San Francisco is famous for it's uphill and downhill streets.
Seriously! look at how steep the street is!!!

Photobucket

Not convince? This is not a camera trick!

Photobucket

Tom was so happy to stumble across this "Church of Sweden"
Photobucket

We decided to walk by Lombard street
America's crookedest street!!

Photobucket


Photobucket

This is the place where we were suppose to go for All American brekkie. I read mixed review about their food and service online. I've been there a couple of times and i enjoyed the food and stuff. AND they are famous for their small Swedish pancakes (i have no idea why it's called swedish pancakes!!). Comes in 18pcs with their home-made special maple syrup.
Sear's Fine Food
439 Powell street.

Anyway, i wanted to bring Tom there but we both slept till 12noon and miss the brekkie hours. When we walked by there in the evening, it says that they serves breakfast till 3PM!! Darn!! we could have made it for brekkie afterall. BUT Seriously, who eats breakfast at 3PM!!

Photobucket

All in all, it was a wonderful two days together in San Francisco. Next will be our Seoul stopover.

Btw, i thought mermaids are suppose to be slim and pretty.
They lied!
