A great Tourist Desinations Food Activitys for all walks of Life
After a massive day one we are up a little later than were hoping for are rediscovering Chili in the one of the many 24hour dinners in San Francisco we headed out to Fishermans wharf to have a look around and check in for our prebooked trip out to ALCATRAZ "The Rock"

We discovered some friends for Neil LOL!!! for those who know Neil SHOUTS OUT to him..

heading out on the ferry we had an amazing view of the the golden gate bridge and San Francisco city wer soaked up the atomosphere of it all anyone that has been overseas to another country will know what i mean by that!!!

Alcatraz was one the most interesting places I have been looking around the norrow corridors and ultra small cells. This goal was in place purely to house the worst of the worst criminals that america had to offer, no more famous than Al Capone..
Listening to the audio tour was fantantisic and highly recommended u could listen to the storys of some of the inmates and staff at the time the goal was operational.
criminals here were afraid of alcatraz and for good reason, near impossible to

An interesting area thousands of these sea lions Play here all day creating a massive tourist attraction
escape and being in one of the pretty harbors in the world with an unspoilted view to the golden gate brige and sounds of partys all around the harbour really made them think about what they were missing "Freedom".

after that experience we returned to Fishermans wharf where we decided to rent some push bikes to travel across the golden gate bridge again "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" it was complety breath taking and a wonderful experience.
after getting back into fishermans wharf with our bikes we Found "HOOTERS" enough said
