Last Day in San Francisco

Today has been pretty cruisy. It's our last full day in town & we have done pretty much all we set out to do & see. The Civic Centre & Alamo Square were the last couple on the list & we ticked them off today.
Alamo square is a bit away to the West of the CBD & is perched up on a fairly high hill top. There's a nice park square (Alamo Square) and around it, all the houses are very nice, including this set pictured, known as "Postcard Row". They must cost a bomb to maintain & you wouldn't want to be much of a private person to live there. (A bit like Lombard St I imagine).


This is yet another American building trying to look like 15th century Europe. This is the Civic Centre. Very clean & fancy, but nothing much seems to happen there except the homeless people sleep out front in the garden areas.


Tomorrow it will be goodbye to The Mayflower Hotel, San Francisco & the USA.
It's our last night in this quaint but beautiful hotel in the heart of San Francisco. It will be sad to leave, but there are a stack more exciting adventures to be had in Canada.

We have to be up before 5 in the morning to get on an early flight to Vancouver. Our last flight of our intrepid journey. The final leg of the trip to Calgary will be a 2 day train trip through the Rocky Mountains until we reach our final destination.
