The Forum Shops and LV Factory Outlet World are great places for shopping.
Deserts to Mountains - we left LV to head for the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Nevada. We stayed at the shores of the beautiful Bass Lake, the gateway to Yosemite National Park.
The park is magnificent with it famous rock formations of Eli Capitan and Half Dome. Cycled through the trails but it was a bit dangerous bcos it doesnt have brakes on the handles but on the pedal.... so we cut short the cycling to take the free shuttle bus instead.
From Bass Lake, we proceeded on to San Fran Bay - city tour includes the golden gate bridge, north beach, golden gate park and Haight Ashbury, hippie central.
I really like the weather in San Francisco - bright and sunny and the temperature is around 17-18 deg celsius. People were running along the streets during noon. I would have done the same if I stay there. The breeze was cooling and fantastic climate to run in.
- Coit tower - looked like a fire nozzle but fantastic views
- Lombard Street - world crookedest street.
- Fisherman's Wharf pier 39 - the Cannery, Anchorage and Ghiradelli Sq Shopping Centers. Best clam chowder I ever had and the dungeness crabs were fantastic. They were like Hokkaido crabs but it was a steal at US$25.
- Haight and Ashbury - Relive 1967 when the "Summer of Love" and "Flower Power" ruled the street. A place during the hippee era of 60s.
- Alamo Square - best view of this famous "Painted Ladies" houses with the skyline in the background. Nice houses but not stunning.
- Chinatown - one whole stretch of shophouses. Second largest chinatown in US after NY.
- North Beach - little "Italy" with a no of Italian restuarants and bistros on Columbus street.
- Union Square - SF's best shopping. Niketown, Macy's, Virgin Mega Records and Planet hollywood. Victoria's secrets occupying a whole floor within a building. The whole place is bustling with activites.
- Union Street -the Rodeo Drive of SF. 250 specialty shops and resturants.
