Lombard Street is perhaps the crookedest little street in the world.  Eight hairpin switchbacks and the downward pitch all lined with little gardens and beautiful houses.  Its pretty amazing and I have wanted to visit here since I was a child from watching ‘The Streets of San Francisco’ with my Nan – her puffing away on a packet of fags as my sister and I sat with her, the three of us eating cucumber and vinegar sandwiches late into the night.

Just a couple of photos.  A more informative blog:  as the monkey who caught his tail in the fan said….’not long now’.
