San Francisco


First day in San Francisco, we went to Alcatraz! This is the view of the jail from the boat that we were on to get to it. 



We had an audio tour that told you all about the different cells things as you walked around. I love anything to do with jails and things so found it really interesting. It was narrated by some of the old prison wardens and even some of the inmates!


You get a great view of the city of San Francisco while on the island of Alcatraz.



One of the pieces of art around San Francisco. There were other hearts, all with different designs on.


The famous trams!


Very, very steep hills. 


A view of china town!


We got the bus to the Golden Gate bridge. It's cold anyway in San Francisco, but by the water it is BITTER! We've experienced rain twice in 7 weeks, so the weather being like this was a bit of a shock. Its the sort of weather that if it was like it at home, you wouldn't leave the house, but because we were here, we had to go out and do something.


We visited the Castro neighbourhood which was cool, but think i'd have liked it a bit more if I wasn't freezing. I treated myself to a KFC afterwards though, so I wasn't too sad.

  1. The golden gate bridge doesn't look that golden, looks moody, nice photo though.
