Five hours and twelve miles through the suburbs of San Francisco on trusty push bikes with an energetic and knowledgeable guide has to be the way to squeeze this city into bite-sized chunks. Made more enjoyable by great weather, today's venture into Hayes, Alamo Square, Panhandle Park, Haight Ashbury, Castro, Mission, Golden Gate Park and the Civic Centre, even stopping for lunch in a car park now devoted to food trucks offering cuisine from all over the world, had our heads spinning and some new muscles aching. A fantastic way to see the place and made easier (and safer) by the numerous dedicated bike lanes throughout the city. Philip now has the tee shirt as a badge of honour but Mary got the rhubarb crisp ice cream, made while you wait, yes, made from scratch using liquid nitrogen, before wandering home. Another night, another Italian restaurant this time Piattini nearby without a queue but with stunning Italian food served in the tapas style. Surprisingly we were the only diners in a place only open a few months, it can't be that competitive surely. The gratis limoncello at the end of the night was Mary's downfall. She thought it was a limonata and drink it like it was one!( pinned by Philip)
