Brenda was picked up by her cousin Les just after lunch as she was leaving to go back home to Vancouver the next day.
It was a fine sunny afternoon so the ‘B&B Mystery Tour of San Francisco’ is now just ‘B Mystery Self Guided Tour of San Francisco‘. Where to?
Seeing Twin Peaks so close and can’t remember if I have been there, if so it would have been many decades ago, decided to make my way there. Do I walk or use the public transport system? First N to town, F street car or bus up Market St to the suburb of Castro to get the #37 bus up to Twin Peaks.
On getting off the bus the real friendly bus driver told me that when I come down from Twin Peaks and I see that a bus has just pass, walk down the steps by the stop to the next lower street, turn right and then walk downhill to the terminal as the bus will do a loop. Well I did just this and saved myself some time.
As for the view from the top … the photos will express themselves. I am glad that I got the view looking straight down Market St.
As usual still to add when I get home the panoramic views that I took on my i phone but some of these can be connected.
Waited for the next bus to leave and got off again back at Castro.
It was now 3 pm and I wanted my last impression of San Francisco to be to see the sun set from Ocean Beach. So it was F street car back to Union Square and Geary St to take the 38 bus all the way to the end of its route. With the evening commute it was initially slow going.
I just made it as the sun sank below the horizon just above Cliff House. 4.56 pm is the time stamp on the photo. Wish that I was a quarter of an hour earlier but that was not to be.
It got dark very quickly as I walked along the Great Highway enjoying the gentle warm sea breeze and final views of Golden Gate Park with the 2 windmills (Dutch and Murphy) on one side and the beach on the other. Had a quarter hour wait at the N Line terminal by 46th Ave and was 6.30 pm when I got back to #1677.
Dinner, shower and out by 7.30 pm as I had a 11.30 pm flight to catch.
Had a nervous moment changing from the N Line to Bart in town ... was there a Bart train to the airport this late? Will I have to take a taxi? It all worked out.
Airport next and the start of my next journey within life’s overall journey!
