Booked 5-hour bus tour of San Fransisco online ($69.00 for mum and $64 for me) for Wednesday May 14, from 9am - 2pm. Onkar assured us that he will take us to to the departure point, so we lft at 7.30am in his BMW car for a distance of 60 miles. Unfortunately, it was a working day and 4-lane road was fully packed with cars and the traffic was heavy. Even the fast lane reserved for cars with more than 2 people was slow moving.
