Good Morning San Francisco!!! This morning we wandered down to the Holiday Inn Breakfast and had a scrumptious breaky before walking down to the main street. We hopped a Street Car which is different to the Trolley Car and toddled down to Fisherman's Wharf. Zillions of people there so we walked from Pier One up to the touristy part so we could have a look around. Now it appears my wankiness has not diminished here as I appear to have allegedly taken pictures of the WRONG Bridge. It appears I took pics of the Bay Bridge and not the iconic Golden Gate. That has been rectified today.....Mr Fab is bringing that up with quite monotonous regularity ................ I will now insert pics of The Golden Gate Bridge.......then we can move on.
Moving on....... While we were there we found where we have to meet the Leach's tonight and also we saw Alcatraz!!!! Took a few snaps but we will be going out there tomorrow. We also did the tours of The Pampanito Submarine. Now this was interesting!!! It was very small inside and I honestly have no idea how those brave chaps managed to live in one for any length of time. I was very happy to be out of it I can tell you. We then went down to the SS Jeremiah O'Brian which is whats called a Liberty ship. They were knocked together in 60 days during the war and carried supplies etc to the troops. It was very interesting and it appears she brought Aussie War Brides back to the States at the end of the war! Good Job!!! We came back to our room and just chilled a bit before going to have showers and get ready to go out to dinner with Heather and Rob. Rob it seems was a teeny bit nervous about meeting us....lasted about 2 seconds and he was more than comfortable. It was great to then go and see San Fran with a native!! Headed down to Fisherman's Wharf and went to Boudins which is a famous sourdough bread place. Now they serve your meal in a cob loaf!!! Seriously!!! Ronnie had the Chicken Pot Pie in a cob and I had the Chilli! Very tasty and not quite as heavy as some of the meals we have had. We were craving something a little lighter and I combined mine with a side salad and Mr Fabs was full of vegies. After dinner we just wandered about the wharf for awhile taking in everything that was going on. Oh and got to see some of the sea lions sleeping on Pier 39!!! One was pretty darn cranky at the rest of them as we could hear him roaring!!!
Now to bed as we are going to ALCATRAZ in the morning!!! Cannot begin to tell you how exciting that will be and how much we are looking forward to it.
