I was lucky enough to enjoy the best tour imaginable of San Francisco yesterday - on the back of an ancient Vespa! We went right up to the twin peaks for the most fantastic views of the city and the bay, then through Haight-Ashbury (centre of the 1960s hippy revolution) and out to the Presidio - a former army base to defend the Golden Gate Bridge which is now a public park.
It also happens to be Navy week, which means the skies are full of Blue Angels (the equivalent of our Red Arrows) and other stunt planes roaring about and making the good people of California wonder if this is how it feels in Afghanistan...
