SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - DAY 2, PART 2

Scott prepared such a thorough itinerary for us, I had to spit into another post. Above is view of Golden Gate Bridge,  from the Marin side. Then we went back over Bridge to the Academy of Sciences , Music Concourse, Calder Sculpture, Buffalo enclosure, the de Young Museum and Sutro Baths.

Then we went to Alamo Square Park for views of the Painted Ladies ( Victorian Homes) and the City skyline. Next was billionaire row and the Lyons Steps for the harbor views and Nancy Pelosi's house at the bottom right of steps. Jasmine bushes made the walkway so fragrant.

We did a drive through the famous neighborhood of Haight & Asbury Sts.and had a late lunch at Gordo Taqueria.

Our last stop was at the newer high-rises at Sales Force Park.  They have an elevated walkway and park area above the transportation hub that comes into this busy center. They hold community events in the green spaces. We saw a KPOP class going on while we were there. Scott then dropped us at pier with 5 minutes to spare till ALL ON BOARD. Thanks Scottie for a great day and tour!! We miss you and looking forward to your return in Japan!

Bosco and I went back to the Marina Bay Sands, Marquee Night Club for Dancing on Friday night. We got to the club around 11pm and they stayed open till 5 a.m! There was a little bit of a cue to get into the club, but I had bought our entry tickets online prior, so we went through quickly.

SINGAPORE - High atop in the MBS Sky Park

By Pat Patrick • June 21, 2026
After walking through the Luxury Mall of MBS we went through the tunnel, under the street to the Hotel Towers . The lobby is very much like a Vegas Casino. Tower 1 is where the observation deck & Le Noir Cocktail Bar is at the front of the Ship and the french restaurant Ce La Vi is located behind these closer to Tower 2. Then comes the infinite edged swimming pool and end the aft section of the Ship is the italian restaurant & bar Lavo . We went up to the 57th floor and requested a walk in reservation at Lavo around 6 pm and we got lucky and were seated out on the terrace by 6:30 pm. We were there for sunset and both light shows, with prime viewing spots. They didn't rush us out at all and we enjoyed a yummy meal! When we left around 8:30 there was a crazy long cue waiting for tables, we got so lucky!
