Clive's house was just a block away from the famous Lombard street. Apparently Steve McQueen would've driven past Clive's house in Bullet. |

This is the view when you step outside the house. The steep streets and the Coit tower on the skyline are the true character of the city. |
| Coit tower all lit up before the power cuts took hold. Apparently California would be the fifth richest country in the world and yet it doesn't have the money to avoid power cuts. |

Lewis, Clive and Steve take a moment after climbing the hill to Coit Tower in the late afternoon. |

No visit to California is complete without a visit to the beach. This shot was taken on Christmas day and although the sky doesn't look brilliant it was still a very beautiful day. |
