San Francisco

In California, we are 16 hours behind Malaysia but somehow I didn't feel the jetlag that people always talk about. I don't know why. I kind of want to know how that feels but I didn't really feel sleepy during the day and awake during the night. It was just normal for me. Today, we went to collect our car at San Jose airport. They gave us a Hyundai Sonata which is quite a powerful car and spacious too. After that, my colleague's brother took us to San Francisco. It was about a 40 minute drive to reach there. The temperature there was much lower that Sunnyvale so we had to wear thicker jackets. One of the place that we stopped over in San Francisco was Lombard Street. It's a really beautiful, curly, curvy and steep street whereby if you look from bottom up, it's simply captivating.

After that, Ivy and I dragged our butts up to the top and to take photos from top down this time. We are just too free! The houses in SF are cute and cosy looking. It's so full of hills there that most roads go up and down..up and down. Such a beautiful view. We also went to see the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz from afar and took a couple of photos amidst the windy weather. During the trip, we stopped over at IHop for some light snacks. It's quite a famous pancake/waffle diner-like place. I say it's famous because it was full to the brim. Later on, we visited the Exploratorium. Not inside. We took some photos of the landscaping there and set off to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. Now, that place is hip, hop and happening! So many restaurants, so many people. Very interesting place. As the time ticked away, day turned into night and we set off back to Sunnyvale and to get ready for the next day.
