Friday - two days to go and we headed off to Macys again after lunch. Darren had his last meetings in the morning and I just did MY normal morning-thing - update blog and not rush to do anything. This doesn't happen very often :)
Macys is amazing....there is one store for men and one store for women here! Maybe that is how it is in every city? Darren needed jeans like I needed shoes the other day so that was our priority. Two pair of Levi's (for less than the price of one at home), a pair of shoes and a jumper for Benjamin and we were out of there. You could stay there for hours - JUST in the men's part alone.
We then ventured across the road (managed to, somehow, make our way through all the road works) to the Ladies store and I bought a really lovely dress. Something on par with the 'Mr. K' brand but once again, prices half of what I'm used to, thank goodness!
Dinner that evening (after a loooooooong detour in a taxi - bit of a language barrier really) was at the Americano restaurant along the Embarcadero. It was like a typical Friday arvo at Fitzy's - for Toowoomba people you will know how hectic that can be. Thankfully the restaurant part was separated somewhat from the main bar area, so was nice and quiet (albeit very dark in the corner where we were sitting - my eyesight is definitely not as good as it used to be, so I'm now one of those people who struggle to read a menu without holding it four mile out in front of me).
Taxis were few and far between after dinner, so we decided to wander up along the piers on the off chance we could find one near the ferry building. Well! the chilly wind got to us after about 10 minutes of waiting so we headed into the nearest bar, MarketBar to escape the cold. Our idea was to have another wine, (Darren actually tried a cognac for the first time) warm up, then phone for a taxi once we were done. This little bar/restaurant turned out be just superb - so much so, after our quick drink, we booked to have our last dinner in S.F the following night.
