Breakfast is included at our hotel so we went down for tea and toast. Then we decided to buy a 48 hour pass on the hop on hop off bus. It was quite cool this morning as there is fog first thing. We caught the first tour which went around town ten we changed to the tour that goes over the Golden Gate Bridge and to Sausalito. The bridge is magnificent and Sausalito is a very pretty town on the bay. On the way back we went through the Presidio which is a military base and also has one of the national war cemeteries and is the only cemetery in San Francisco.
When we got back we caught the downtown bus back to Union Square and had a look in a big discount shoe store and also went to Macy's. We then decided to take our shopping back to the hotel before catching another bus to Fisherman's Wharf to catch the night tour bus. The traffic was so bad that we missed the first night tour so we had dinner first and caught the next night tour. This tour went to different parts of San Francisco and was really interesting. It was really cool too as the fog had started rolling in again.
Somehow today I got really sunburnt on my shoulders and it was the first time I didn't put sunscreen on. Lesson learned.
When the tour finished, the bus took us to Union Square and we walked the three blocks back to our hotel. I am really grateful that Peter started me walking every day for the month before we came away. I have done so much walking and it hasn't been a problem. I can even do the hilly bits!
Good night for now.

Loving your trip!!!!
