Belated Post: Travelled San Francisco (Part V) - Road Trip

The road trip began but it was gloomy all the way.





And then we reached Domaine Chandon. The rain stopped and the weather cleared.





Ready for the next vineyard

But the first thing that caught my eye was a red "nice" car.





Wine glass wearing crocs?



"Cheese Market" - My goodness... What a wide selection.

Belated Post: Travelled San Francisco (Part IV) - Road Trip

Quy, Mathieu and I decided to embark on a road trip out of the city. We rented a car and drove on a disappointing foggy, chilly and rainy morning, praying that the weather would turn better for us. Fortunately, as the day goes by, the weather became better and we could continue our wine-tasting road trip at Napa Valley.

We also stopped by small towns for meals and sight-seeing. Being adventurous, we also drove up a mountain and drove back down before it became very dark. It was really scary because the roads were really narrow and we were not quite experienced. Kudos to Mathieu - who was pretty skillful despite lack of driving experiences. He got us all safely back to the city and we were exhausted but contented.

Some favourite selections. More to come in next posts.

The GPS was our best friend. Just starting off! Excited!



Remember I said I loved Sausalito? We came back after paying a short visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. For a start, we were starving. So, we went to the Lighthouse Coffee Shop.





Acupunture for animals???



It was a really charming small town.

Belated Post: Travelled San Francisco (Part III)

Golden Gate Bridge
One of the must-sees. Apparently, the view is better in winter than in summer. Summer tends to fog up more. So, I was blessed with picturesque views. Alluring.



Bay Bridge
I can't remember the exact name of this bridge but it's visible even from Golden Gate Bridge. Mathieu took this shot when the whole gang left for an island without me. It is a less famous bridge but still beautiful.


Marine County
The Marine County is one of the nicest estates to live in. Expensive too.

Night Lights
It is a city with lotsa bright lights.


Architectures
I was taken through the numerous types of architectures. Some were really unique and amazing.

A church that looks like a hat.

A show was made here. But I can't remember the show title.

So steep! It must be stressful parking here.

I love this. Houses built on a hill looking out to the sea. So lovely. This is Sausalito.

Still Sausalito

I fell deeply in love with Sausalito and on a road trip we took later on, we went back to Sausalito to spend more lovely time here. This is a truly unforgettable place.
