Stop Bus, Stop

Steve and I are sharing a mutual hallucination, which is somewhat worrying.

Last time we were out here, we were quite certain we saw a double decker, open topped red bus, driving around SF. The mystery only deepened when we blagged our way into one of the top local hotels, and drove the concierge mad while she tried to figure out what we were talking about. She had never heard of such a thing.

It got worse yesterday.

In front of us, as we were crossing the road, was a Y reg open-topped double decker bus, with adverts on it for a Chinese restaurant in Aberdeen. I tried to get my cameraphone into operation in time, but all I caught was a fleeting glimpse of it driving into the distance. I suspect that when I do download the photo, it will be nothing but a hazy blur.

Our plan is to grab a passer-by next time we see one of these visions, and see whether they can see it as well. So apologies in advance to any San Francisco-ites who find themselves accosted by two wild-eyed and slightly jet lagged Englishmen. You are not on Candid Camera, I promise...
