San Francisco Cable Car

One of the attractions of San Francisco are the cable car, the street car and the MUNI bus. Harith, (who is a gaga of trains and tramps and whatever that have anything to do with the rails) was obviously so excited when he saw all the cars. So after a little rest and Adik Hannah was all cleaned up and pretty again, hehe..we went out. We went to the Fisherman's Wharf by foot. There's a cable car station over there. The ticket cost USD5 per person per way. Children ages 5 and below are free. We had to stand in a long line before it was our turn (almost one hour!). But it was worth the wait. The cable car took us on a route which practically covers most part of the city.
The cable car's driver (the Sikh man in the second picture above) kindly obliged when I asked him to snap our family pic. We even had a little chat and I was pleased to know that he knew where Malaysia is. Hehe.. Most people know about Singapore and Thailand, but not Malaysia...so that was kind of refreshing.

We walked around the city for a little bit. The city was bright with night-lights. Since it was weekend and just after Black Friday, most stores are still open. Kira happening laaa.

We promised to take Harith on the MUNI bus too. So we took the bus ride to go back to the hotel. In case you're wondering, MUNI stands for 'Municipal Transportation Agency'. This is how a MUNI bus look.
The MUNI bus runs on electric. It has cables and rails all around the city. I think it is very unique and cost-saving. Obviously Harith was really excited. Gosh...two rides in one night! That's too much to handle. Hehe.. The ticket only cost USD1.50 per person.

We reached the hotel at about 9 p.m. Took the car and drove to BangsanThai, a local Halal Thai restaurant. We haven't had rice for the past 3 days and I told dear hubby that we would definitely have to search for a Halal restaurant. I wanted a proper hot meal. No more bags and bags of French Fries. Grrr.... We googled and found the restaurant which was only 6 minutes drive from Travelodge. Alhamdulilah...told you, our hotel was near to almost every destination :-D
I went back to the hotel feeling very satisfied. Phew...the food was marvelous. So for any Muslims out there who are visiting San Francisco, I definitely recommend this place. You can view their website here.
