The plan today was simple, get up earlyish catch the train into SF and do the touristy things. After phoning Sylvia at 7.30 I decided to have another five minutes nap. Big mistake. Two and a half hours later I woke up again, so much for an early start. By the time I walked to the station and caught the train I eventually got into San Francisco it was approaching one o'clock.
The train ride was very interesting seeing parts of the state that you wouldn't normally get to view.
When I arrived into the city I caught the MUNI to UnionSquare and then a trolley bus down to Fisherman's Wharf.
Fisherman's Wharf is the Mecca for tourists in the town with its restaurants, t shirt shops and buskers.
One act I remember from our last visit was Bushman, a guy who hides behind a number of tree and branches and surprises passers by. This must have proved a lucrative way of making money as he has spawned at least another three imposters!!
My original intention was to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, but with the loss of time a boat trip seemed a better idea. This gave a great opportunity to take pictures of the bridge...
Alcatraz.....
And to prove that I was there.
As you can see I was wearing shorts but this proved not to be a good idea as it was very cool on the water.
Tomorrow I will make an early start and cover some more of the city, after an early night!,
