When arriving in San Francisco Per was just outside - literally JUST outside - so in no time we were back at our hotel on Union Square - in the middle of the best shopping in San Francisco...... The only 'problem' was that it was cold, grey and rainy - but then again - it's winter, so to be expected. But Per had made a reservation at a really good steak restaurant (Epic) - so the weather didn't really matter :)
San Francisco is better than New York - we think. The buildings are more interesting and not so tall so San Fran feels more 'airy' than New York - which can sometimes be a bit claustrophobic as you feel trapped between the very tall buildings and you can't see 'out'. Also San Fran is smaller and therefore not so overwhelming I guess.
So we had 5 days in San Fran and besides the evenings, Per had some time off on the last day so we could do some sightseeing. We wanted to go back to Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf. Last time we were there was when we moved to New Zealand, so 18 years ago..... And let's just say - things had changed in 18 years... :)
