    Getting TO/AROUND: Cable Car transportation in San Franciso are both fun and inexpensive.The cost is $3.00 per person one way and $6.00 per person return. I paid for our return tickets ahead of time so as not to have to wait in line again on the way back. While I got in line for the tickets, Hans got in line for the cable cars, which were quite long on the day we went. the tickets were on a collector series card telling about the history of the cable car which you can keep as a souvenir. The conducter simply takes the part of the ticket which says $3.00. All in all it was a fun way to get around San Francisco.

    Ferry: BLUE & GOLD FLEET

    Getting TO/AROUND: While in SanFrancisco we wanted to take a ferry to Sausalito. The BLUE AND GOLD FLEET takes you there. It is located at Pier 41, Fisherman's Wharf. The prices are $7.25 per person one way and $14.50 per person return. It was an awesome ride to Sausalito as you pass Alcatraz and you have beautiful views of Golden Gate Bridge.

     Your tips brought both good and bad memories back for me. Good- because I loved all the places you recommend, and bad because I lost a diamond ring at Chowders on fishermans wharf- and never got it back _gone- vanished. I left it in the washroom. Boo Hoo!

     San Francisco is a lovely city, which I haven't visited since 1990. Your tips brought back many good memories. Thanks for that, and for visiting my Scotland page!

     I wish I ever see Golden Gate Bridge and sing I left my heart in San Francisco! Thanks Lori for reminding I didn't make it yet! Excellent page! May be one day...

     Glad you are so enthusiastic about San Francisco! I lived and worked in Berkeley for several years in the 1960s, and often crossed to bay to visit San Francisco. Also we used to do live radio broadcasts from Alcatraz when it was occupied by the Indians.
