Honeymoon - San Francisco & Napa

We went to northern California for our honeymoon. This is the collection of images from our stay in San Francisco and Napa. Just a side note, I tried not to duplicate photos of San Francisco and Alcatraz as I've been there before. See my CEC gallery if you want more San Francisco and Alcatraz photos.

The Room At The Handlery (1)
We opted for a slightly more expensive room for our first few nights. The larger rooms are in the newer part of the building towards the back, so are apparently a lot less exposed to the street noise.

Colourful Car
I have no idea what the story with this car is, but it's certainly very colourful and whacky.

People Power
This guy was cycling around with music blarring from the speakers on the back of his trike. I assume in an attempt to encourage people to vote for Proposition H. I believe this has something to do with renewable energy, but finding any information is pretty hard.

Rolls Royce
Someone was having their wedding reception on one of the boats and this beauty dropped the bride and groom off. Very nice. Note, it's got original UK plates and is right hand drive too.

Pink Rabbit Suits
I'm not sure what this was all about, but these people were just waving and saying hello to people as they walked around San Francisco dressed in pink rabbit suits.

This is my first attempt at using my Gorillapod in a precarious position. It coped really well, pity I didn't set the aperture correctly, so we're not in focus.
