national automobile museum

Friday 28th July 2017
Today we got up and I went for another spa while Bronte slept in for a bit.  When we checked out we went to the National Automobile Museum at Reno for a look.  We were there in 2008 and wanted to go back.  The highlight was going to be the 1st of 2 original 24 carat gold plated DeLoreans, vin number 4300. It was in the foyer and the first thing we saw.  Looks amazing and certainly a big piece of the DeLorean story.  Spent about 2 hours looking at all the rest of the cars before hitting the road to Twin Falls which was 750km away.  We got in about 9pm and checked in to the motel and went to a restaurant named Jakers for dinner.  It was very nice.  Tomorrow we head to Yellowstone but we will stay at a place called Gardner Montana which is near the northern entrance. Yellowstone should be nice.

leaving SF heading to reno

Thursday 27th July 2017
After checking out today we wanted to drive to the lookout over the Golden Gate Bridge.  Shock horror the typical SF fog had set in and looked like it may stay the day.  We had a drive around the Marin headlands but the fog didn't lift.  Got some nice pictures though.  We had a 5 hour trip ahead of us as well so we then got going for Reno.  Staying at a casino resort named Silver Legacy which should be nice.  Got there just before dark and checked in.  Went for a spa and sauna for a couple of hours before heading out for dinner.  Went to Ihop which was yummy and then to Walmart to get some things.  Tomorrow we're going to the National Automobile Museum and check out some cool cars including one of the gold DeLoreans.






san francisco day 2

Wednesday 26th July 2017
Today we caught the ferry again back to San Francisco so we could do some more exploring.  First things first we had clam chowder again for lunch.  We then headed to the painted ladies catching a street car to get there.  We strolled around Alamo Square and it was such a good day,  the weather was perfect. We got back on the street car and went back to Union Square and decided to walk around the city a bit more.  We walked through China Town and then got a coffee at Starbucks before meeting Paul who is one of Bronte's instagram followers from Brisbane.  Went to a pub with Paul and had dinner and some drinks before waking back to the Pier to get the ferry back to Tiburon.  Tomorrow we head to Reno Nevada as we move towards Yellowstone.

san francisco

Tuesday 25th July 2017
Caught the ferry from Tiburon to San Francisco and hit Boudins for clam chowder which was delicious.  We then walked to Lombard  Street and watched the cable car cruise up the really steep streets.  We then walked from there to the Coit Tower which looked like a long way but wasn't really too far.  We had to wait about an hour to climb the tower but the view was worth it.  We walked back to the wharf and caught a street car to the Castro. A trip to SF wouldn't be complete without going to the Castro for a look see. Spent about an hour there and then made out way back by street car to the wharf and the ferry back to Tiburon.  Decided to eat at the hotel as they had a dinner special on.  Taco and martini night,  whoo hoo. By this time it was late and time for bed.  Tomorrow more SF.
