LA #Day5

Travel day today! 

We said goodbye to San Francisco and caught our flight to LAX. 

 

From the airport we caught an uber for 1/2 an hour to our hostel on Venice Beach! We had a few hours left to walk along the beach before dark: 

 

All the palm trees! 

   

Tomorrow we are going to Disneyland!!!!!!!! 

San Francisco #Day4

Our last full day in this hilly city! Today we soaked up the last of San Fran, doing lots of walking and lounging in the sunshine.  
 

We walked pasted Mrs Doubtfires House from Robin Williams famous movie:

 

We headed over to Alamo square to see the Painted Ladies: 

 

 

Afterwards we caught an uber back down to Fishermans Wharf were our lovely uber driver suggested we check out 'Ghirardelli' and old chocolate factory! 

   
 

Down at the Marina: 

  

Pier 39:

   

I bought a hoodie and cap saying 'San Francisco' don't think I could look more like a tourist if I tried! 

 

Tomorrow we will be flying back to LAX to stay at Venice Beach :) 

San Francisco #Day3

What a beautiful day! 

Had a bit of a sleep in this morning, jet lag is getting the best of us! 

We spent the day over at the Golden Gate Bridge. We were absolutely blessed with the weather, not one cloud in the sky-

     
 

Then we headed down to Fort Point which was a really nice view off a small pier: 

 

Walking across the bridge: 

   

As we were walking across the bridge there were 2 whales right underneath us that kept breaching for about an hour, was a spectacular sight! 

 

Back at the hostel we had a free home cooked meal with live music! Perfect way to end a perfect day 

San Francisco #Day2

Our first full day in San Francisco! We had bagels for breakfast and walked around the streets admiring the beautiful buildings! Today was a nice sunny day at 17 degrees, not too warm for climbing all the hilly streets.      

The hills are insane but worth it for the views: 

 
We headed over to Fishermans Wharf where we enjoyed some famous Clam Chowder in Sourdough bread: 
   

We then went on a 1 hour boat cruise which took us under the Golden Gate Bridge and past Alkatraz.

 

 

 

Our first glimpses of the mile long bridge: 

 
 

 

 

 

Alkatraz was so interesting to see from the outside and hearing through our head sets interesting facts- 36 people attempted to escape the prison but only 3 succeeded and no one knows if they drowned or made it to the shoreline. 

  

From here we went to Lombard Street, the windiest road you will ever see! Cars were lined up for ages just to drive down- 

  

And of course the iconic trams: 

 

Tomorrow we plan to bike across the bridge!
