Sailing Boats
There were sooo many boatsWell today we got out first real taste of San Francisco and we lurrrved it! We sussed out the local busses (world renowned for having some of the rudest drivers ever!!!) and made our way down to the Pier Area.
We had a really nice wander around Pier 39 - its is a GREAT area (Perth people...think Hillaries/Sorrento type area). San Fran is pretty cool weather wise at the moment (16 today, 13 tomorrow max) but the sun was shining so it was a great morning.
We checked out a bunch of shops around the Pier, had some lunch (seafood of course!) and met some of the locals (a sea lion colony that moved into the bay after the 1989 earthquake!).
Then we headed over to Alcatraz island and did the audio tour around the island. It was really, really interesting and we had lots of fun. Unfortunately San Fran is (still) shrowded in fog so we are yet to see the Golden Gate bridge!
We've had a chance to SEE some cable cars, but we havent yet ridden on one. Hopefully tomorrow 😊
Oh
Pier 39
These seagulls are super sized!! yeh, I forgot to say, after Alcatraz we headed down past Fisherman's Wharf and to Ghiardelli Square. We had the most amazing icecream sundaes yummmm!!!!
