Hop on - Hop Off in San Fran ...

Set the jet lag to one side, don't waste a minute... meet downstairs at 8, quick brekkie and let's hit the town!  With only a day to see the sights, options are limited, so first let's hop on a hop-on/hop-off bus tour... how to decide?  Come on girls, don't dilly dally, just do it...


The boys didn't wanna have fun, so here we are, from the left that's Hell's our favourite [and only] resident celebrity from MKR, Mel, Me and Shaden... girl's just wanna have fun...

 

Transamerica Pyramid Building, standing tall, once the world's tallest pyramid building until London's The Shard took over in 2012.


Remember the building covered in goo in GhostBusters II?


Mel and Shaden looking cool!  Actually, it was seasonally COLD!  
Double underwear weather at least!

... and Hel's with her warming coffee...

... pretty buildings ...
Saints Peter and Paul Church on Filbert Street


Love the architecture


Shaden gets up close and personal with dinner...


Good Pizza? Just look at that queue!


and, yay - this is it - we must be in San Fran... THE Bridge!

and real proof.. yes I was there...

Janet Sutherland, San Fran


Inspiration for Otis Redding's ... Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
Heading into Sausalito.  
A tragedy he died only 3 days after recording it and 6 weeks before it was even released.


So after a wander around beautiful Sausalito, a little town full of restaurants, cafe's and curiosity shops, a change of pace, all too soon, let's head back to San Fran on the ferry


Past Alcatraz...


... a perfect way to mix with the yacht's in the bay when you have limited time 

 



and finally... The Night Tour... drive past beautiful City Hall


... and did you hear the beautiful story of how San Francisco and its people turned San Fran into Gotham City for a day?  

To grant a wish for 5 year old Craig, diagnosed with Leukemia who wanted to be Batkid for a day and his wish came true, thanks to the Make a Wish Foundation?


A pretty city of lights....
