San Fran Bay
We didn’t end up doing the bike tour today – both suffering from a bit of a cold/cough at the moment. Hopefully tomorrow.
Instead, today we walked down to Fisherman’s Wharf. We took the long (and hill-less) route today – twice the distance though. Not sure which made us feel less sore – we ended up doing over 12km’s in total!
This was some random water-feature along the way:
The Maritime Museum is undergoing renovations at the moment and wont re-open till 2009. But in the mean time there are some ships which you can go on (including a submarine USS Pampanito which we will go on later in the week). Here is a photo of a trade/cargo ship they had on display:
We also walked up to Fort Mason – which was just a big hill overlooking the bay – including Alcatraz.
That’s the Golden Gate bridge in the background. The has been a lot of low clouds since we got here which makes the bridge a bit hard to see from a distance. Mind you, even though the temperature is in the low 20’s, we still managed to get a bit burnt today.
We also had some Clam Chowder in a bread bun which seems to be a cult favourite down in Fisherman’s Wharf. It was delicious – will definitely get that again.
Hopefully more to report back on tomorrow.
Leeane.
