Old Town Trolley

Five minutes from the hotel is the Coronado stop of the Old Town Trolley, San Diego's HOHO attraction.  My original plan was to take this to Coronado and see more of the city but the ferry change that idea.  So I'm starting here.  Our personable driver, guide Scotty was great... informative amd funny.

I hopped off at Balboa Park to explore.

Then back towards the Trolley stop to wait for the next one.   On the other side of the road is the San Diego Auto Museum and the San Diego Air & Space Museum, appropriately located under the flight path approach to the airport.

Back across the street, the next trolley arrived just as I got to the stop.

Unlike the first trolley which was quite full, I had a private trolley charter on this leg.

We drove back thru Balboa Park.

And to the west entrance.

I hopped off at the next stop, which was in the heart of San Diego's Little Italy, which featured numerous outdoor dining options.  This is India Street.

I stopped for lunch at lovely Buon Appetito.

OMG, the bread and dip were to die for.

It doesn't get much better than this... fabulous canneloni with a glass of Super Tuscan.

Since I was only four blocks from the train station, I finished up and left at 1:15p, some 20 minutes before my departure.
