Hey y’all from San Francisco, “the Paris of the West”!

We’ve had an awesome time in the city, seen the Fisherman’s Wharf and the famous Pier 39, walked all the way from there to the Bay Bridge (freaking cold and windy!)…and yesterday we rented bikes and went biking over the Golden Gate to Sausalito, which proved to be a wonderful little picturesque town with beautiful buildings and cute restaurants. Emelie swears to have eaten the best pizza in her entire life there, so it’s well worth the visit and if you like gnocci like me, don’t miss out on Restaurant Poggio by the harbour, yumm..!

Being in San Francisco, we of course couldn’t miss trying the world-famous cable cars! So we did that yesterday as well, went from the end of Mason St all the way to the wharf, and it was such a joyous experience. Perfect sunshine, the wind in your hair and the best standing spot on the car, awesome!

In the late afternoon, after we returned to bikes, we went walking to Lombard Street, which is known as the crookiest street in the world. Even though it’s on quite a steep hill and the road actually swirls quite a bit, I wouldn’t exactly mind living in the beautiful victorian houses there…and the view from there was amazing by the way!

Today we’re heading towards Alamo Square and the picture perfect row of Victorian houses with the city in the backdrop. So looking forward to seeing that spot, as it’s been in so many movies and series (e.g. Full House with Bob Saget and John Stamos) will be cool seeing it with your own eyes!

But now it’s brekky time, one last time in SFO, before heading towards South America, starting with Peru. Getting a little nervous, but so excited!!
But we’ll get back to u from that side of the world a little later, until then take care and enjoy the snow!

Trio kiittää ja kuittaa! Puss!
