Sailing Into San Francisco

San Francisco

I was definitely looking forward to sailing into San Francisco under the Golden Gate Bridge on this voyage. I set the alarm early, and the Brilliant Lady was very good about alerting us about what time to be up to see the entrance into the harbor.

We weren't the only ones who got up early. The top deck of the ship was extremely busy, and we took a spot up on the running track, one of the highest points of the ship. It was beautiful as the sun came up and we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge and into the harbor, with Alcatraz on our left and the city on the right.

Apple Park Visitor Center Restroom

Favourite Apple Park Visitor Center, Cupertino

Clean. Lovely aesthetic. Powerful flush. Doors and walls that almost go to the ground. The cafe and store are cute too.

Google Visitor Experience Cafe Washroom

It Was Fine Google Visitor Experience, Mountainview

Like many things Android, completely functional, colourful, but lacks polish. Rumour is I picked the restroom without the Japanese style bidet…

Lemon Pie Eclair

Liked It Google Cafe, Mountainview

It was a nice snack as we walked the long walk from the visitor Center to the visitor parkade.

Millionaire Bacon

Liked It Sweet Maple, Cupertino

Thick gooey brown sugar marinated slices of bacon… delicious.

Breaky Tacos with Brussels Potato Medley

Liked It Sweet Maple, Cupertino

This exceeded my expectations. The potato and the Cristy brussel sprout leaves was so good. The tacos were huge so I opted to eat them with a fork and knife.

Galbi (beef), scrambled egg, scallion, avocado, pico de gallo, roasted salsa, pickle red onion, cilantro and cheddar

Tea Leaf Salad

Liked It Burma Love, San Francisco

This was great! Mixed at the table and totally delicious.

French Toast Hamburger

It Was Fine The Galley, Virgin Voyages

The monstrosity. It was a lot. Meat patty, cheese, eggs, bacon sandwiched between French toast with syrup. I wouldn't call this a light breakfast, I dismantled it and liked it a lot better after doing so.
