Our local friend Phil was definitely gentle and an excellent guide too. He said that we were very lucky to have the amazingly clear and fog-less view of San Francisco Bay. On the intensive day tour we managed to check out quite a view places and sampled some of SF’s signature dishes. The most delicious vegan soul food we’ve ever had at Souley Vegan, fresh A-grade and unbelievably cheap (compared to Sydney) dim sums at Clement Street, Blue Bottle coffee, and Boudin‘s clam chowder. Another highlight was the amazingly gorgeous colourful houses in Haight Ashbury.

A place I longed to visit since I was a child (highly inspired by Scott McKenzie’s “If you are going to San Francisco”) certainly did not disappoint. This city is a gem and we look forward to return in the future.
