A great opportunity to visit the area of San Francisco, driving over Golden Gate Bridge was fantastic, the bay area around Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 were wonderful to see.
The Trolley Bus tour was a fun ride through the city, up and down the really steep streets just like the film clips from the Steve McQueen film Bullitt.
China Town was exciting to see, so different to the rest of the city with so many different kinds of shops to visit.
On Monday we visited the ‘Hub – Bay Area’ in downtown Berkeley in San Francisco.
Very similar to the Hub in London’s King Cross but on a smaller scale, this was an interesting organisation to visit. A nice young man called Hai Vo showed us around the building and explained how the ‘Hub’ system worked. The project was a socially run organisation that enabled businesses to use the premises as required on a flexible basis. So for example they offered the use of the facilities for 5 hours for $25 per month, so you could literally come along with your laptop and plug in as and when you want to.
