Brunch at Fort Mason, A walk along Crissy field and a visit to Golden Gate Park

We got the Powell-Hyde cable car this morning up to the coast area and walked along to Greens Restaurant to meet another old friend, Andy, from College.  We had a nice brunch there and then went for a lovely walk along Crissy field towards Golden Gate Bridge and back again.  The weather was lovely and we got some great views of the bridge.

Andy and family then dropped us at Golden Gate Park where we had an explore and visited the gorgeous Japanese Tea garden.  We then walked south to pick up a bus along Lincoln Street and into downtown via Haight Street, which is a fascinating throwback to the hippie years of the 1960s and has a huge diversity of people and businesses.

We got off the bus and had a look at City Hall before getting the Metro back to Powell and having a look around a shopping centre there.  We got the cable car back up to the hotel from Union Square.  We had a wonderful evening meal on the recommendation of a staff member at our hotel at a wonderful Indonesian restaurant called Borobudur.
