Golden Gate Bridge

Golden Gate Bridge
For so long we have watched San Francisco on TV (Charmed, The Rock etc.) and have always wanted to go there. One of the things we were most looking forward to was visiting the Golden Gate Bridge, probably because it is the first thing you think of when you San Francisco is mentioned.

It was as stunning as expected. Now everytime it is on TV we tell everyone that we have been to San Francisco and travelled across Golden Gate Bridge.
The Famous Fisherman's Wharf Sign

Fishermans Wharf

Another area we were looking forward to seeing was Fisherman's Wharf.

We had seen the Fisherman's Wharf sign so many times on TV and in travel brochures that we just had to take our own picture of it.

Lots of shops, restaurants and plenty to do. Most bay cruises, alcatraz tours, ferries etc. leave from Fisherman's Wahrf too.

Alcatraz Tour

The alcatraz audio tour was well worth the money (approx $22.00 per person). You are given an audio set and you follow the route for a commentary on each section and parts of interest.

Pros:"Sea Lions, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge - almost everything!"
Cons:"Homeless People"
In A Nutshell:"Amazing City, lots to do - would definately return for a second visit."

 Those aircraft carriers are a city unto themselves. You have to wonder how they float, they're so big. My husband served aboard the Forrestal years ago.
