Walk on the wild side.

Apologies for the lack of blogging recently, but the sun finally came out in San Francisco and we've been making the most of it! However, we will keep this updated as much as possible.

Anyway, to catch up - we took a tour to Napa and Sonoma valleys to quaff the local wines - from now on, expect me to swirl round any glass of wine for at least half an hour before I even think about tasting it. Fun day out and we even got chance to have lunch with two retired couples from Toronto - I felt like my friends San and Fran on one of their cruises... (By the way, I think San and Fran should have a child called Cisco - not because I'm a fan of The Thong Song, but because then their names would spell San-Fran-Cisco... genius.)

We went to a cool restaurant in Chinatown called House of Nanking, where they tell you what to order - and they're right to do so. Jamie Oliver had been in recently so we're in esteemed foodie company. Was also surprised to find out our waitress was a keen Top Gear fan - who would think James May would translate to SF's Chinatown?

And the pictures above are from Yosemite National Park - we were up at 5am to take the minibus to this amazing place. It may have been sunny down in SF, but we were soon trudging around the snowy peaks, staring at Half Dome and Yosemite Falls. The photos can't really do it justice (unless Ansel Adams took them, rather than me on my Sony Ericsson).
