Went on another #5 bus adventure today! Our main reason was to visit the Matching Half coffee shop and then get back on the bus to travel further along to the other end of Golden Gate park with the idea of exploring that. I knew we were going to be fairly close to the ocean when we got to the other end of the park but when we got off the bus and we could see it just a block away we decided to go and have a look. Very blue and lots of people out and about on a very warm winter’s day.
We looked along the beach and saw some kind of look out up on the corner so ditched the idea of a walk in the park for a walk up to the top of the hill – by now I was excited that just around the corner was the Big Orange Bridge. It was a pretty spectacular view in both directions from the point but the bridge was further around. Lots of people were milling about taking photos on the next point we could see around in the direction of the bridge, so off we went.
Through forests, along paths, up and down hundreds of steps, around another point and ta da! There it was. Spectacular sight and no fog whatsoever thanks to winter. We’d gone quite a long way by then so rather than doubling back we turned up through a very flash neighborhood for a couple of blocks and joined onto another major bus route that took us back to town – hello #38! A nice 5 hour round trip!! We worked out the walk was about 2 miles (3.2 km).

Great photo of map showing how far you walked. Have you always had that orange watch? Very with it.
M.I.L.
Actually The Mister got me the watch recently because I am such a timezone traveller (ha ha) I find it a nuisance fiddling with the button on my waterproof watch because you have to kind of push and turn it and the date always gets out of sync so I wanted just a simple clock that I could wear when travelling. Plus it’s orange of course!!
