Up and Down the Hills of San Francisco

Today's adventure involved the famous Cable Cars of San Francisco on a vehicle over 100 years old, although it may be a bit like Triggers brush and had lots of new parts over the years.

All set to go at the Hyde Street Terminus

Our Cable Car on the turntable.

 The hills are very steep

The end of the line in a busy shopping area of the city.

I was determined to stand on the side of the tram for the return 30 minute journey which at a maximum speed of 9.5 mph is quite safe except when you pass a Cable Car coming the other way. It is certainly an excellent way to see the city.

Hanging on and enjoying every minute of the experience.

Going downhill 

In the afternoon we walked almost the entire length of Fishermans Quay stopping regularly to sit in the sunshine and people watch. They pass by in all shapes and sizes and wearing an amazing mixture of outfits. 

We had another walk along Pier 39 on a different level from our walk yesterday and again spent a lot of time either people watching or listening to excellent street entertainers.
