San Francisco

---

Well we've been in San Francisco for 2 days and it's gorgeous. We're right down in Fishermans Wharf which isthe hub of everything and where all the food and drink places sre. Out first main day was yesterday (thursday) and we visited Alcatraz in the morning which was mega. There was some guy there promoting his book who was an ex con there as well. Down on Pier 39 which is the main area there is a place where all the sea lion live. it's open for them to go in to the sea but they seem to like it better there. There are over 100 of them at any one time.

We also went shopping to union Square which is the main area in the city centre. It's exactly how I imagine New York would be, loads of big shops and steaming drain covers in the road.

Today (friday) we split up. Nick and I went on a bike ride and rode over the Golden Gate bridge which was amazing, the views back over the city where breathtaking. Danny and Anna went on a wine tour which they said was equally great.

Will be sad to leave San francisco as it truly is a beautiful city, loads to see and do. Will definitely be coming back here at some point. The pics don't really do it justice but will give you an idea
