Aquarium of the Bay San Francisco

Verdammt! Das ist das Wort des Tages! Und dabei wurde es für vielerlei verschiedene Dinge bzw. Ereignisse genutzt. Das wohl prägnanteste und leider auch negativste wofür wir von diesem Wort Gebrauch machten war aber ganz klar dieser unfassbar kalte, nein, EISKALTE Wind! Ein immerwährender, allgegenwärtiger und starker Wind zieht durch diese Stadt …

Day 29

Hmm, a day earlier than expected, what shall we do today? We hitch a ride with the hop-on hop-off bus to the main office, since that is the only place where we can upgrade our ticket. Instead of 1 day we have time for 2. As an added bonus, with a 2 day ticket you can also participate in the evening tour, which follows a different …

Med vores ankomst til San Francisco satte vi punktum for vores første tur i autocamper, da det var her den skulle afleveres. Inden afleveringen skulle den dog lige tømmes for opvaskevand, og det lidt tungere der lå og flød rundt i dens tanke. Ikke noget problem overhovedet da vi var vant til rutinen, så 5 min. arbejde sparede os lige for 30$. Dernæ …

Op tidligt for vi skal jo være klar til vores tur til Alcatraz med afgang fra Pier 33 kl. 9.00. Så en meget hurtig morgenmad på vores "lokale” a'la Grease-cafe og så var vi klar. Fra morgenstunden anede vi allerede, at dagen ville blive ganske anderledes :-) Vi havde absolut ikke nogen udsigt fra vores hotelværelse og …

We had an early tour of Alcatraz. A boat took us to the island. Our tour started in the visitor's center. Alcatraz was named for the flocks of Pelicans that inhabited the island before the prisoners. There was originally a fort put on the island and eventually was used as a military prison. Over time, the remote location made it perfect for a …

Well, Well, Well. Welcome again to our blog coming to you from sunny San Francisco. Just chilling in our hotel all day today watching Wimbledon with the volume down as Sharapova is playing and we don't want our neighbours thinking something kinky is going on. Eagerly waiting to fly out to Vivvvaaa Las Vegas tomorrow morning. We had a great time in …

Well after a near perfect day on our first day here, the weather today was pretty average - cool in the morning - but still fine - so after a late breakfast at IHOP - decided to do a bay cruise, it was good went past the sea lions and got a better view than we would've from the pier, then out past the Golden Gate Bridge - back around Alcatraz and …

Ab 3:30 Uhr war an Schlaf nicht mehr zu denken. Zum Glück fanden wir aber trotz Labor Day ein Frühstückslokal, das vor 7 Uhr offen hatte. Danach mussten wir natürlich Cable Car fahren, alles andere hätte Oskar verweigert. Da das Wetter eher durchwachsen war, besuchten wir am Pier 39 das Aquarium und bewunderten die Quallen und die beiden großen …

... 10:00, the museum was open and right away we went for the aquarium.  Amazing!  It was more impressive than the Aquarium of the Bay.  It housed, by far, the best coral reef exhibit I ever seen.  We then went to the rain forest exhibit ...

... on dit que c’est un des symboles les plus connus de San Francisco. De retour au Pier 39, nous avons visité l’Aquarium of the Bay. C’était bien mais nous avons déjà vu mieux. Ce qui était intéressant ici, c’est la promenade ...

... ja, det er ikke et sted vi ønskede at være meget længere. Tilbage til kajen satte vi snuderne hen imod Aquarium Of the Bay. Vi indtog dog en hurtig frokost i form af ”hotdog” – noget der ikke mindede om en dansk udgave ...
