San Francisco ...

Star Rating: 8 out of 10 Expenses: ~USD150 (if go with 1 car, more fun!)


Departs from Candlewood Suites Irvine @ 2am. However, still late on scheduling departure time. Went to pump petrol for 1 car before departing and on the way, stopped by 2 times to pump petrol, 1 time for restroom. It is a total waste of time since the other car still have 1 quarter petrol left and did not pump when stopped by for restroom at petrol station. *frustrated.



This has caused us to change plan from going to China Town first to next day. Reached San Francisco around 9.15 a.m. and Alcatraz
tour starts around 11a.m. Go to Pier 39 and look for breakfast. Disappoint IHOP (International House of Pancake) Don't go for that shop! Suck chocolate and breakfast.

Walk around and take ferry into Alcatraz Island. Lot of stories happen here and nice San Francisco City View. Recommended tour. Reached city at 2.30 p.m. Walk along pier, relax, tour, see see look look then eat Clam Chowder at Bouder which is the same shop visited last trip. Bread still sour but famous there, hm~


Next, we departs to Lombart st. As you can see from picture, is a curving road all the way down. However, not to mention name, some stupid bastard walked over and asked, "what is the plan now". The plan already sent out a week ago, but he never reply or answer. Then, after getting lost few times, he blames it on us (the organizers). We don't get pay for organizing and they keep getting lost which made us frustrated too. Later during dinner time, i found out that the 2 bastards don't even help to look for map or road even though we get lost. (miss a junction and directed all the way to the other island) On the way routing back to correct direction, when we pay for toll, the poor driver needs to folk out extra to pay. I pay him USD1 extra later when we parked the car. As you can see from the
picture, i am not happy. He is speaking and looking at me at the left side.
For dinner, we ordered imperial set worth USD99 and shared by 5 of us. The seafood "quite" fresh and Ok only. hm~

The next morning, we departs to China town for breakfast (Dim sum) and walk around. I left my camera in the car, so all photos taken in colleague cameras. Bought a few souvenir tees and gathered then moved to Golden Gate Bridge. (was there yesterday evening but all mist, cant even see the bridge at all) When we are rushing time to move out from here so we can complete the agenda to Mystery Point, we saw another colleague walking in slowly with ais-cream. (and, they are known for bollywood style taking pictures, super slow type, husband with wife. I think you can guess the race by now)




I am pissed off and suggested to split so we can get tickets for all of them for Mystery Point. That bastard comes again, and said "we are out, according to someone, you can't make it after 11a.m. if you are still in San Frans and ...". So, we just go ahead and i am rushing there with 100MPH. (Is mile, which equals to 160 kmph) My car mates all sleeping so is ok. :p In the end, when we reached, we managed to get the 2nd last trip up to Mystery Point. Look at the photo of 3L's sign. Purposely show it up to the bastard. (we did not do that in the end) Anyway, we were so excited and happy to have make it and complete the schedule although a bit late) Found pretty girl there too, haha ... Reached Candlewood Suites Irvine at 1a.m. ... end of tour.
