Australia to San Francisco

ImageFlight to San Francisco from Australia was uneventful although we experienced quite a bit of turbulence.  Arrived around midday (still Saturday) and caught a taxi to our hotel - The Chelsea Motor Inn in the Marina District. 

 

We actually had a view of the Golden Gate                 Image                                Bridge from our room.

Beautiful day - walked down to Fishermans Wharf area and everyone was taking advantage of the warm weather.

Purchased the CityPass which gave us unlimited rides on public transport as well as a 1 hour cruise under the bridge and around Alcatraz Island and we managed to catch that. 

 

 

ImageHad a clam chowder in a sourdough bowl at the Boudin bakery although Toby opted for the chlli

 

 

 

Finished the day by catching a cable car then walking back to our motel.

Hi Kornmaiden,
Thanks for your tips. Your trip looks great and we'd love to see some of the places you are going to - unfortunately time doesn't permit (and travelling with 2 teenage boys means there is only so much scenery they can handle without mixing it with an adreneline rush). I look forward to reading about your trip.

Also should have mentioned that we stayed at Ruby's Inn in Bryce Canyon it was very nice but try some of the local places for dinner. Ruby's food is just OK. Ask for recommendations from the locals, we ate at a place whose name I can't remember not far from Ruby's that had delicious home made pie. We also took a helicopter ride over the canyon that was thrilling.
