Päivän ohjelmassa oli Golden Gate Park & Golden Gate Bridge, eli kaupungin suurin puisto ja kuuluisin silta. Päivälle oli ennustettu lämmintä peräti 28 astetta. Heräsin klo 9.30. Huoneesta pääsin liikkeelle klo 12. Matkustin ensin länteen linjalla N, joka kulki ensin metrona tunnelissa ja sitten kadulla ratikkana. Klo 13 Starbucksissa 6 $ rinkeli ja kahvi. Kävelin puistossa noin tunnin, siitä 15 minuuttia ilman paitaa, jotta selän aurinkorasvaton alue olisi saanut vähän d-vitamiinia. Puistosta jatkoon bussilla 28 sillalle. Siellä tuuli sen verran, että sai vetää takin päälle. En lähtenyt kävelemään siltaa ihan kokonaan. Piti jatkaa bussilla 28 itään. Mutta kun tuli peräkkäin vain toiseen suuntaan meneviä busseja, lähdin lopulta takaisin päin. Vaihdoin ensimmäisessä tilaisuudessa rollikkaan. Ajoin California-kadun kaapelivaunulla lännestä itään. Jatkoin kaupungin katselua busseilla.... read more

Crazy Town (aka San Francisco) Thursday Arrived in SF around 4ish and slowly found our way to the Nob Hill Motor Inn (http://nobhillmotorinn.com/) . Interesting hotel located near Polk St which is a strip that contains numerous eateries, bars and convenience stores. The hotel itself was clean but could do with new carpets etc. Location was excellent as the bus to Fisherman’s wharf was around the corner and a bus that goes direct to AT&T Park went past the front door. So car stayed neatly tucked away in the hotel whilst we rode the Muni (Local Bus service). Went searching for the evening meal, with such a range to choose we picked a little place called Street (http://streetrestaurant.com/) and was pleasantly surprised with good food, wine and a Fig martini which took Gaynor’s fancy.

We travel today to San Francisco RV Resort in Pacifica, Ca. The park is located on the ocean, but main reason for this park is close location to San Francisco. No travel photos.... read more

Aujourd'hui, je suis allee sur le pont Golden Gate. Je l'ai meme marche! Ce n'est pas si long : 2km soit 32 minutes de marche lente, en arretant souvant pour prendre des photos! Desolee, je ne peux pas mettre de photos, je les mettrai de la maison... Je n'ai toujours pas vu ce fameux 'fog'. Et bien sur, j'ai trouve le moyen de manquer mon lift de retour, donc j'ai relaxe 1h de plus en admirant le pont. Le reste du tour nous amenait ensuite a Sausalito, un coin de riches. La marina est jolie, mais ressemble beaucoup a celle d'en face! Je suis retournee a l'hotel, ou Fanny arrivait vers 16h, je suis arrivee 15m apres elle. Nous sommes allees nous promener dans Chinatown. Avis aux interesses : absolument tous les commerces sont fermes a ... read more

We have just arrived home at 10:30pm after an extended day of sightseeing in the San Francisco and Sausalito region. After breakfast at the guest house, and meeting our other residents Gordon and Claudia we caught the "munis" to Fishermans Wharf at San Francisco. After getting off at the wrong stop, about three stops early today as yesterday we were about three stops late, we ended up at Hyde Street Pier. Hyde Street Pier is still a working pier with a number of boat builders/repairers there as well as a number of older boats that are now tourist attractions. After a look around Hyde Street Pier we headed off to Sausalito by bay ferry. The ferry ride over was very comfortable and despite a history of sea sickness I felt fine. We enjoyed clam chowder for ... read more
