Day 6 Up at ridiculous o'clock to catch my flight from Nashville to San Francisco Arrived around 2. Taxi ride to the hotel in SOMA (south of market street) , quick coffee then out to get my bearings. Walked down Market Street to fisherman's wharf. What a place! Very busy but the sights sound and smells are amazing. Walked along the front to nice views of the Bay and bay bridge , and the smells of the fish restaurants. Continued walking along the wharf to pier 39. Loads of restaurants and tacky shops, had a Nathans hotdog to quell the rumbling stomach, and at the end of pier 39 got my first glimpse of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. The Rock even from here looks scary! Tour booked for Tuesday so looking forward to it.
