Being gluttons for punishment we continue to drive around San Francisco on an open top bus in the freezing cold and after arriving back at Leavenworth St we catch the downtown loop bus to as we were going to go and see the Tutankhamen exhibition at the De Young Museum in the Golden Gate Park. But in the end we changed our minds and will do that tomorrow. Our tour guide was so interesting we preferred to stay on the bus and hear what she had to say. Plus I was looking forward to driving through the Haight – Ashbury…

Today is cold and windy, and of course this is the day we have decided to take the bus over the Golden Gate Bridge and go onto to Sausalito. The Bridge is cloaked in fog but the view is not too bad. There are a couple of new tours since Paula and I were here last year and the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito is one of them, although you can just do the bridge tour if you wish.

Today Ayla (grandaughter) and I went into Southbank. I haven’t been there for many years so it was quite a surprise to see the changes that have been made over the years. After strolling along the boardwalk and taking a photo of Ayla in front of the Thai Temple we headed to the new attraction, the Wheel of Brisbane. The wheel is just as the name implies a ferris wheel with 42 closed in gondola’s each holding up to 6 adults and 2 children. Each capsule is air conditioned thank goodness, as the morning we went on it was a…

Tonight we went for dinner to one of Ayla’s favorite restaurants, The Sizzling Mongolian BBQ House at 2/144 Indooroopilly Rd, Taringa.  Its on the corner of Indooroopilly Rd and Gailey Rd. This is an experience not to be missed. The food is beautifully  fresh and served in a novel way. You pick up a bowl and walk past two large segmented chillers,  filling your bowl from a assortment of shaved meats including Lamb, Pork, Beef and Chicken, sliced and diced vegetables and sauces. Then you hand your plate to the chef who cooks the food on a large circular barbeque….
