Sausalito Visitors Center

We embarked on our cycling journey across the Golden Gate Bridge today and down into the little town of Sausalito across San Francisco Bay, around about 8 miles all up. First stop, though, was the section of Lombard St famous for being "the most crooked street in the world". No trip to San Francisco is complete without a shot of the street, and we …

Cycled to Sausalito over the Golden Gate Bridge in the morning with beautiful views. Alas, couldn't stay there too long because we needed to get back on an early ferry, then lost the key to the bike lock...d'oh Went to the chocolate factory which was a flop, then had a coffee in a seaside cafe on the pier...was served by an Aussie from Sydney who …

Tomorrow we leave (our hearts in) San Francisco and go to Monterey/ Carmel/ Big Sur. Our fabulous apartment here was right in the thick of it all near union square and we managed to get to know this neighbourhood quite well, as well as the number 30 bus route, which we rode about a hundred times.

Our driver was a bit of a character called Betsy who gave a lively commentary but she had a particularly raspy voice. Unfortunately, the bridge was shrouded by fog which is apparently the normal situation. San Francisco …

It was really interesting to go to California …

Vandaag is het de laatste dag, we rijden naar de luchthaven waar we het Ramada San Fransisco Airport hebben geboekt. Daar aangekomen was de kamer nog niet klaar. Dus eerst maar de auto opgeruimd ( nodig na 3 weken) en naar de car wash gereden. Gelukkig is het nog goed weer op de laatste dag, zo'n 17 graden en warm in de zon. Nadat de auto klaar was …

We had originally planned to rent a bike and bike across the bridge to Sausalito then take the ferry back. However, yesterday on the bus tour we realized how far it would be to bike from the bike rentals, up to the bridge, across the bridge and down to Sausalito, especially considering the fact that I don't bike very often (or at all.) So we …
