Our Los Angeles family told us we really must visit Lombard Avenue while in San Francisco, so we duly did. It is described as “the world’s most twisty road”. Not sure about that but it is a short, steep and very wiggly road lined with colourful flowers, including 2000 hydrangeas. Cars are continually driving up it, tourists with cameras peering out of the windows. We chose to walk down the steps at the side. It was very pretty and once again we had some lovely views of San Francisco.
