Honeymoon Day 10 - San Francisco, Napa Valley

Checked out of the hotel which is booked under the tour package in the morning and went to check in at another hotel which we booked on our own. Quite a hassle to shift our luggages etc, but we felt that we wanted to try other hotels and also save some cost.

Then off we went to have breakfast and then to rent a car. We walked past this building and thought it looks really cool. Later we found out it is some parliament house.

We rented the car, and got really excited. To save on time, we had a quick orientation with the car and went on our journey towards Napa Valley. Driving past the Golden Gate Bridge.....


We weren't exactly used to the left hand driving and all the road signs and dimenions were different....example the speedometer and speed limit signs were in miles instead of km. We were supposed to take 1 hour to get to Napa Valley but we took 2 hours becos we made a wrong turn.

We were in the region of Napa Valley when the clouds turned dark and it started raining....we drove past some wineries but felt there was no point in visiting becos it was freezing cold and we can't really walk the vineyards due to the rain....

We decided to head to the nearby Napa Valley Premium Outlets to continue the shopping we so missed back in Vegas!

However, there wasn't as many notable shops at this factory outlet and the price was also not as good as back in Vegas.....we shopped till the rain stopped. Caught sight of a beautiful rainbow...

We did buy some stuff there but not much....and it was already dark due to the year end season. We had to drive back to San Francisco and it was a stressful drive back for me.....a good 1hr + drive without a break....the roads were darker than in Singapore and on left hand drive...!! Dear had to be the one navigating becos i was bad at maps, so i just had to drive.....when we finally arrived at the hotel....i was really relieved!!! Not much phototaking becos we were too stressed on the roads the whole day and due to the bad rainy weather!
